Facts

  • Barbiturates are prescribed as anticonvulsants, sedatives, and general anesthetics but can also induce euphoria, elation, and uninhibited behavior which make them candidates for abuse. If individuals suddenly cease using the barbiturates, symptoms of withdrawal syndrome appear 12-20 hours after the last dose.
  • Withdrawal from benzodiazepines type-drugs can mimic an anxiety attack.
  • OxyContin is an opiate agonist, meaning it provides pain relief by acting on opioid receptors in the spinal cord, brain, and possibly in the tissues directly.
  • Of the over 2 million Americans aged 12 or older in need of treatment for an illicit drug or alcohol use problem in 2010, 2.6 million received this treatment at a specialty facility. However, 20.5 million persons who required treatment did not receive it.

Arendtsville, Pennsylvania - Methadone Detoxification

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and taxing experience. Withdrawal Symptoms usually begin between twenty-four and forty-eight hours after the user's last dose of methadone. 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 tend to continue much longer than heroin withdrawal symptoms. Depending on the dose of methadone and how long the person has been using methadone, 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.
