Facts

  • Methadone often takes 20 to 24 hours to leave the body once it's been taken, but this can vary from person to person.
  • When an individual consumes alcohol, 80% of it goes to the small intestine and is absorbed directly into the blood stream.
  • The average GHB dose can range anywhere from 1 to up to 5 grams (depending on drug purity) which can be 1-2 teaspoons mixed in a beverage.
  • Rapid opiate detoxification to treat opiate withdrawal can be performed in a hospital or private clinic setting using a drug such as Naltrexone, an opiate antagonist that blocks opiate receptors and reverses the effects of opiates. Clonidine is administered at the same time to ease the symptoms of withdrawal.
