Facts

  • Research indicates that, like cocaine and other abused drugs, opiates activate the brain's reward system causing pain relief, a sense of euphoria and pleasure.
  • Valium can cause anterograde amnesia (an inability to recall the recent past), which may persist as long as 6 months and may not ever fully return to normal after an individual stops taking the drug.
  • Salvia affects the kappa opioid receptors in the brain, which causes brief but intense hallucinations and a sense of disconnection from reality.
  • The kidneys and lungs remove about 10% of the alcohol in the urine and breath, making the breathalyzer test a valid tool to measure a person's blood alcohol level.

Elsah, IL. - 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. Typical withdrawal symptoms include: stomach cramps, nausea, sweating, extreme cravings, tremors, irritability, sneezing, fever, anxiety, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, clinical depression and hallucinations. Additionally, these unpleasant methadone withdrawal symptoms will last 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 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.
