Facts

  • Methadone withdrawal symptoms are similar to the worst case of the flu, but only ten times worse.
  • PCP affects the area of the brain involved in the perception of pain, responses to the environment, and learning and memory.
  • Studies indicate that stimulation of opiate receptors as a result of opiate use results in feelings of reward, and activation of the pleasure circuit by causing greater amounts of dopamine to be released within the brain.
  • Sudden cessation after prolonged use or abuse of high doses of central nervous system depressants can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms.

Genoa, Arkansas - 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 methadone. Typical withdrawal symptoms include: stomach cramps, nausea, sweating, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, irritability, sneezing, fever, anxiety, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, hallucinations and clinical depression. 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 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.
