Facts

  • Most states require that a doctor document any methadone which is being dispensed for pain but not for the treatment of drug addiction, and all physicians with appropriate Drug Enforcement Agency registration may prescribe methadone for pain control.
  • Studies have shown that individuals struggling with drug addiction often suffer from other health problems, including mental health issues and even occupational, legal, familial, and social problems; issues which should be addressed concurrent to any treatment when the individual is taking part in a drug rehab program.
  • Local and regional law enforcement officials cite that immediate release oxycodone is the drug of choice for pill mills who prescribe prescription opioids willy-nilly to prescription drug addicts.
  • Most physicians in the U.S. are unaware of the fact that methadone is more addictive than other forms of opiates.

Methadone Detoxification - San Fidel

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 methadone. Common symptoms include: stomach cramps, sweating, nausea, extreme cravings, tremors, sneezing, irritability, fever, chills, anxiety, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, hallucinations and clinical depression. Additionally, these unpleasant methadone withdrawal symptoms will last 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 stopping all at once.
