Facts

  • The physical component of drug addiction is one reason individuals find it difficult to achieve and maintain abstinence without drug rehab treatment.
  • Studies indicate that as much as half of the dopamine-producing cells in the brain can be damaged by prolonged exposure to relatively low levels of methamphetamine.
  • Some of the worst prescription drug withdrawal symptoms documented are for the drug Cymbalta (an anti-depressant), which are sometimes referred to as "nightmare-ish" because of how intense they can potentially be.
  • Individuals who have used Oxycontin as prescribed may not even realize that they are experiencing withdrawal when they stop taking it, and many report thinking that they just have the flu.

Mountain Lakes - Methadone Detoxification

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and difficult experience. Symptoms usually begin between twenty-four and forty-eight hours after the user's last dose of the drug. Common symptoms include: stomach cramps, nausea, sweating, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, irritability, sneezing, chills, anxiety, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, clinical depression and hallucinations. Additionally, 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 share that it is important to gradually decrease your dose of the drug over a period of time instead of stopping all at once.
