Facts

  • Due to the risk for seizures and other severe complications, barbiturate withdrawal should be monitored in a medical setting.
  • Most states require that a doctor document any methadone which is being dispensed for pain but not for the treatment of drug addiction, and all physicians with appropriate Drug Enforcement Agency registration may prescribe methadone for pain control.
  • Instead of disposing of prescription drugs down toilets or drains, prescription drugs should be disposed of in sealed plastic bags with filler such as coffee grounds or kitty litter.
  • Methadone users who want to come off of the drug will typically benefit from gradual cessation followed by a drug-free drug rehabilitation program.
