Facts

  • Sudden cessation of use of methadone at high doses can result in withdrawal symptoms described as "the worst withdrawal imaginable," and can last from weeks to months.
  • Opiate addicted individuals often cannot hold jobs and may even be involved in crime to pay for their addiction.
  • Opiate withdrawal symptoms are often described as similar to the flu but much worse and can cause aching, fever, sweating, shaking, or chills.
  • The ritual for snorting cocaine is to place a line of the drug about 0.3 cm wide by 2.5 cm long on a smooth surface. The powder is then inhaled quickly into a nostril through a plastic or glass straw or a rolled currency bill; a ritual which usually repeated within a few minutes using the other nostril.

Methadone Detoxification - Fleischmanns, NY.

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and challenging experience. Symptoms usually begin between twenty-four and forty-eight hours after the user's last dose of methadone. Common symptoms include: stomach cramps, nausea, sweating, extreme cravings, tremors, irritability, sneezing, fever, chills, vomiting, 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 you have been taking 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 completely stopping all at once.
