Facts

  • The physical effects include increased body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure; sleeplessness, and loss of appetite.
  • While treating opiate withdrawal through rapid opiate detoxification, the individual is anesthetized throughout the three to four hour procedure, and withdrawal occurs while the patient sleeps.
  • Most opiate addicted individuals are no longer capable of holding down a job which often leads to loss of health insurance coverage. Diseases and conditions that develop as a result of opiate addiction are therefore often paid for through public funds because these individuals cannot pay for their own treatment.
  • The sleeping pill Ambien seems to cause less severe withdrawal symptoms than the barbiturates or benzodiazepines.
