Facts

  • After the effects of meth wears off, it can cause severe withdrawal that is more intense and longer lasting than both speed and cocaine.
  • Since PCP is only made illegally an individual who takes the drug recreationally never knows exactly what potency of PCP is actually being taken, making the use of this drug particularly dangerous.
  • Individuals who go through medically assisted withdrawal but do not receive any further treatment will typically show drug abuse patterns similar to those who were never treated.
  • Nearly one in three 18-to-24-year-olds admitted to emergency rooms for serious injuries is under the influence of alcohol.

Methadone Detoxification - Glen Oaks, NY.

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, sweating, nausea, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, sneezing, irritability, chills, vomiting, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, hallucinations and clinical depression. 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 typically advise the gradual decrease of the drug over a period of time instead of completely stopping all at once.
