Facts

  • Most methadone clinics don't take an individual completely off the drug and actually work to stabilize them at a certain dose for an indefinite amount of time which leaves them dependent to methadone.
  • Inhaling methylene chloride to get high, a chemical commonly found in degreasers, can cause a reduction of oxygen and changes to the heart muscle and irregular heartbeat.
  • While heroin addicts experience a terrible set of withdrawal symptoms, it is rare for an individual to not survive even the most severe heroin withdrawal.
  • Standardized clinical tests are used in an inpatient drug treatment facility setting to evaluate the severity of withdrawal symptoms throughout the detoxification procedure.

Lincoln, Delaware - Methadone Detoxification

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 the drug. Typical withdrawal symptoms include: stomach cramps, nausea, sweating, extreme cravings, tremors, sneezing, irritability, chills, anxiety, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, hallucinations and clinical depression. Additionally, methadone withdrawal symptoms tend to continue 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 stopping all at once.
