Facts

  • Mixing fentanyl with heroin or other drugs such as cocaine greatly increases the potency of the drug and potential dangers.
  • Many heroin addicted individuals have an inability to honestly earn enough money to meet their drug needs which often leads to illegal activity to obtain the drug.
  • Tolerance to methadone when administered in a pain-control program usually occurs during the first few weeks.
  • Many addicted individuals misuse their outpatient methadone maintenance program, and take less than a blocking dose of 80 mg. so that they will be able to "feel it" if they combine their methadone dose with other drugs such as heroin.

Macclesfield - Methadone Detoxification

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and challenging experience. 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, irritability, sneezing, fever, 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 you have been taking the symptoms can last for several weeks to several months. Professionals in the field of methadone detoxification share that it is important to gradually decrease your dose of the drug over a period of time instead of stopping all at once.
