Facts

  • Over 12% of women in the US who drink alcohol have more than seven drinks per week.
  • Most opiate addicted individuals are no longer capable of holding down a job which often leads to loss of health insurance coverage. Diseases and conditions that develop as a result of opiate addiction are therefore often paid for through public funds because these individuals cannot pay for their own treatment.
  • The excessive release of dopamine and stimulation of the brain and central nervous system's natural reward system as a result of opiate use is what leads to addiction.
  • Mixing alcohol with certain medications often causes nausea and vomiting, headaches, drowsiness, fainting, or loss of coordination.

Methadone Detoxification - Pembroke, VA.

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, sneezing, irritability, fever, 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 you have been taking 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.
