Facts

  • Alcohol withdrawal is triggered when the central nervous system attempts to adjust to the sudden absence of ethyl alcohol in the body.
  • Methadone maintenance treatment clinics have been hampered by government regulations that require most patients to come to the clinic a minimum of five days a week, making it difficult for individuals who are taking part in these programs to maintain employment.
  • Methadone withdrawal can be up to twice as severe as morphine or heroin withdrawal and can last for several weeks or more.
  • Methadone used in opiate maintenance therapy was originally developed to help obliterate withdrawal symptoms and support a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of withdrawal far exceed that of heroin which causes the individual to become addicted to it instead.
