Facts

  • Smoking or injecting methamphetamine creates an intense rush or high almost immediately, while snorting the drug can cause about a 5 minute delay.
  • It is important for both legitimate and illicit users to understand that even moderate doses of Percocet have been known to result in fatal drug overdoses.
  • Withdrawal symptoms from Oxycontin are similar to that of many opiate-based drugs such as heroin, morphine, Dilaudid, methadone, and codeine.
  • One option that is sometimes used to avoid opiate withdrawal is to replace the individual's drug of choice with methadone, a long-acting, cross-tolerant opiate that does not normally produce a "high."

Methadone Detoxification - Hatfield

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. Common symptoms include: stomach cramps, nausea, sweating, extreme cravings, tremors, sneezing, irritability, chills, vomiting, 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 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.
