Facts

  • Opiates activate opiate receptors that are widely distributed throughout the brain and body which are part of the body's natural reward system and also relieve pain.
  • Short-term residential drug rehab was first designed to address alcohol problems, and then transitioned into a multi-faceted program during the cocaine epidemic in the mid-1980s, at which point many began to treat other types of addiction.
  • Antidepressant withdrawal symptoms can include agitation, akathesia, irritability, aggressiveness, worsening of mood, dysphoria, crying spells, over-activity or hyperactivity, depersonalization, decreased concentration, slowed thinking, confusion and memory/concentration difficulties.

Methadone Detoxification - Great Neck

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and challenging 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, extreme cravings, tremors, sneezing, irritability, fever, vomiting, anxiety, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, clinical depression and hallucinations. Additionally, 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 stopping all at once.
