Facts

  • PCP use may alter mood states in an unpredictable fashion, causing some individuals to become detached, and others to become animated.
  • Methadone used in opiate maintenance therapy was originally developed to help obliterate withdrawal symptoms and support a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of withdrawal far exceed that of heroin which causes the individual to become addicted to it instead.
  • It is hard to detect if someone is addicted to Xanax because the drug cannot be picked up by a normal urine analysis.
  • Physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms are known to develop after only five days of the administration of Morphine.

Methadone Detoxification - Merion Station

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