Facts

  • The depression so many Ecstasy users complain of after coming down off of the drug is often referred to as the Tuesday Blues or Suicide Tuesday, because of the midweek depression that users often experience after having used the drug on the weekend.
  • Women have less water in their bodies than men, so after a man and woman of the same weight drink the same amount of alcohol, the woman's blood alcohol concentration will most likely be higher.
  • The kidneys and lungs remove about 10% of the alcohol in the urine and breath, making the breathalyzer test a valid tool to measure a person's blood alcohol level.
  • Chronic methamphetamine users will experience withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly stop using the drug in almost 90% of the cases.

Myrtlewood - Methadone Detoxification

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and taxing experience. 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, fever, vomiting, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, hallucinations and clinical depression. Additionally, methadone withdrawal symptoms will last 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 completely stopping all at once.
