Facts

  • Methadone maintenance treatment clinics have been hampered by government regulations that require most patients to come to the clinic a minimum of five days a week, making it difficult for individuals who are taking part in these programs to maintain employment.
  • Moderate use of alcohol (2-3 drinks) can cause loss of motor coordination for up to 12 to 18 hours following alcohol consumption.
  • Women who are of child bearing age should avoid binge drinking to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy.
  • Inhaling propane to get high, a substance found in lighter fluid and hair spray, can cause sudden sniffing death syndrome due to the cardiac effects and serious burn injuries due to the flammability factor.

Methadone Detoxification - Glen Ellyn, Illinois

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and difficult experience. Symptoms usually begin between twenty-four and forty-eight hours after the user's last dose of the drug. Common symptoms include: stomach cramps, sweating, nausea, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, irritability, sneezing, fever, vomiting, anxiety, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, 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 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.
