Facts
- Methadone used in opiate maintenance therapy was originally developed to help obliterate withdrawal symptoms and support a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of withdrawal far exceed that of heroin which causes the individual to become addicted to it instead.
- The effects of methadone subside long before the drug is out of the person's system; a factor which can make excessive use of the drug extremely risky.
- It is important to understand that methadone withdrawal treatment is not the same as s methadone maintenance program, in which individuals who are unwilling to give up opiates are prescribed methadone as a legal, long-term substitute for their drug of choice.
- More and more opiate users are turning to sniffing and smoking opiates instead of injection them, because of increased purity and the misconception that these forms of administration are safer.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
A person who is seriously addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit tremendously by attending a hospital inpatient rehab program. These types of programs are focused towards making the individual�''s withdrawal and detox as smooth as possible. Recovering persons will have access to medication as well as medical staff around the clock. While not every drug addict needs this level of care, it is beneficial to those who have severe physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs commonly last several days to several weeks. Once the hospital inpatient portion of their recovery is complete they may choose to participate at a sober living setting or transfer into an outpatient program.
