Facts
- The high caused by inhalants is achieved due to the lack of oxygen that reaches the brain when an individual inhales fumes or propellants to get high; this term is also referred to as "huffing".
- Use of barbiturates decreases REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, during which dreaming takes place, and therefore withdrawal often results in sleep disruptions such as nightmares, insomnia, or vivid dreaming.
- As heroin leaves the brain and body, users experience withdrawal symptoms, which are often described as feeling like a severe case of flu.
- Pharmacy diversion of OxyContin occurs when pharmacy employees steal the drug directly from the shelves, or when people make fraudulent prescriptions.

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and challenging experience. Withdrawal 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, extreme cravings, tremors, sneezing, irritability, chills, anxiety, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, hallucinations and clinical depression. Additionally, 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.
