Facts

  • Severe muscle contractions which result from PCP use may cause bone fracture and even kidney damage or failure as a consequence of muscle cells breaking down.
  • 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.
  • Short-term residential drug rehab was first designed to address alcohol problems, and then transitioned into a multi-faceted program during the cocaine epidemic in the mid-1980s, at which point many began to treat other types of addiction.
  • The number of Americans receiving specialty treatment for a problem with nonmedical pain reliever use more than doubled between 2002 and 2010, from 199,000 to over 400,000.

Box Springs, Georgia - Methadone Detoxification

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and taxing experience. Symptoms usually begin between twenty-four and forty-eight hours after the user's last dose of methadone. Common symptoms include: stomach cramps, sweating, nausea, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, sneezing, irritability, chills, vomiting, anxiety, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, hallucinations and clinical depression. Additionally, these unpleasant 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 share that it is important to gradually decrease your dose of the drug over a period of time instead of completely stopping all at once.
