Facts

  • Research indicates that, like cocaine and other abused drugs, opiates activate the brain's reward system causing pain relief, a sense of euphoria and pleasure.
  • When cocaine is smoked the high may last only five to 10 minutes, causing the user to want more cocaine more often to try to maintain that high.
  • Some crack cocaine users become more sensitive to crack the longer they take the drug.
  • Methadone is known to be one of the most difficult drugs to detox from, primarily due to the fact that the drug is stored in the body's fatty tissues.

Methadone Detoxification - Hardyville, Virginia

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and taxing experience. Withdrawal Symptoms usually begin between twenty-four and forty-eight hours after the user's last dose of the drug. Common symptoms include: stomach cramps, nausea, sweating, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, irritability, sneezing, fever, anxiety, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, clinical depression and hallucinations. Additionally, these unpleasant methadone withdrawal symptoms will last 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.
