Facts

  • Abrupt cessation of benzodiazepine drug Ativan can cause withdrawal symptoms after taking medically prescribed doses of the drug for as little as one week.
  • The rate of alcohol absorption in the body depends on the concentration of the alcohol being consumed. For example, vodka is absorbed faster than beer, because vodka has a higher alcohol concentration.
  • Of the over 2 million Americans aged 12 or older in need of treatment for an illicit drug or alcohol use problem in 2010, 2.6 million received this treatment at a specialty facility. However, 20.5 million persons who required treatment did not receive it.

Lincoln, AL. - Methadone Detoxification

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, extreme cravings, tremors, sneezing, irritability, fever, anxiety, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, hallucinations and clinical depression. 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 completely stopping all at once.
