Facts

  • Opiates affect the limbic system, which controls emotions which can produce feelings of pleasure, relaxation, and contentment.
  • The more you consume alcohol every day, the more likely you are to develop alcohol withdrawal symptoms when you discontinue alcohol consumption.
  • Crack withdrawal can cause intense craving, irritability and other symptoms which rivals or exceeds that of many other drugs.
  • When a prescription medication is stopped, withdrawal from the drug causes a return of the original symptom the medication was used for, often in a much worse degree.

Methadone Detoxification - Cape Elizabeth

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. Typical withdrawal symptoms include: stomach cramps, sweating, nausea, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, sneezing, irritability, chills, vomiting, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, hallucinations and clinical depression. Additionally, 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.
