Facts

  • Opioid and opiate overdoses in the U.S., once almost always heroin-related, are now more commonly as result of abuse of prescription painkillers.
  • Studies show that alcohol consumption may interfere directly with medications used for HIV, essentially blocking their effectiveness.
  • Injection is the most efficient means to administer low-purity heroin.
  • More and more opiate users are turning to sniffing and smoking opiates instead of injection them, because of increased purity and the misconception that these forms of administration are safer.

Camp Lejeune, North Carolina - 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, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, sneezing, irritability, fever, chills, vomiting, anxiety, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, clinical depression and hallucinations. Additionally, these unpleasant 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 stopping all at once.
