Facts

  • Methamphetamine may dry mucosa which may then lead to more chafing and abrasions in the genital area, which could make methamphetamine users more susceptible to HIV during sexual activity.
  • Serious medical or mental illness as well as criminal involvement may increase the likelihood of individuals prematurely leaving drug rehab, in which case intensive interventions may be required to retain them.
  • Opana withdrawal is extremely similar to heroin withdrawal with individuals experiencing the common chills, kicking movements of the legs and excessive sweating normally experienced with heroin and other opiate withdrawal.
  • The elderly are admitted to emergency departments and hospitals about as often for alcohol-related causes as for heart attacks.

Newton Center - 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. Typical withdrawal symptoms include: stomach cramps, sweating, nausea, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, sneezing, irritability, fever, chills, vomiting, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, hallucinations and clinical depression. Additionally, these unpleasant methadone withdrawal symptoms tend to continue 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 typically advise the gradual decrease of the drug over a period of time instead of completely stopping all at once.
