Facts

  • 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.
  • PCP affects the levels of dopamine in the brain, a natural chemical in the body which is responsible for the euphoria and "rush" associated with many abused drugs.
  • The largest concentration of crack users in the U.S. are African-American males between the ages of 18 and 30 who come from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
  • National surveys indicate that an estimated 92% of U.S. adults who drink alcohol excessively report binge drinking in the past 30 days.

Woodbury, CT. - Methadone Detoxification

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and difficult experience. Withdrawal Symptoms usually begin between twenty-four and forty-eight hours after the user's last dose of the drug. Common symptoms include: stomach cramps, nausea, sweating, extreme cravings, tremors, irritability, sneezing, fever, chills, anxiety, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, hallucinations and clinical depression. Additionally, methadone withdrawal symptoms will last much longer than heroin withdrawal symptoms. Depending on the dose of methadone you have been taking the symptoms can last for several weeks to several months. Professionals in the field of methadone detoxification typically advise the gradual decrease of the drug over a period of time instead of completely stopping all at once.
