Facts

  • One option that is sometimes used to avoid opiate withdrawal is to replace the individual's drug of choice with methadone, a long-acting, cross-tolerant opiate that does not normally produce a "high."
  • Just like heroin, many individuals who become hooked on Vicodin have to figure out how to take the drug every day just to feel normal.
  • Barbiturates are prescribed as anticonvulsants, sedatives, and general anesthetics but can also induce euphoria, elation, and uninhibited behavior which make them candidates for abuse. If individuals suddenly cease using the barbiturates, symptoms of withdrawal syndrome appear 12-20 hours after the last dose.
  • Smoking or injecting methamphetamine creates an intense rush or high almost immediately, while snorting the drug can cause about a 5 minute delay.
