Facts

  • When an individual injects, sniffs, or swallows an opiate, the drug travels quickly to the brain through the bloodstream.
  • Mild forms of alcohol withdrawal can cause serious symptoms such as the shakes, seizures, and hallucinations, which commonly occur within 6-48 hours after the last drink.
  • Occasionally, rare heroin withdrawal symptoms can occur including cardiac arrhythmias, strokes, seizures, dehydration and suicide attempts.
  • When "Methadone Treatment" was first put into use to treat opiate addiction, it was meant to be a 20-day process, although methadone treatment facilities are currently run based on their profitability which keeps individuals on methadone indefinitely.

San Leandro - Methadone Detoxification

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and taxing experience. Withdrawal 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, anxiety, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, clinical depression and hallucinations. Additionally, these unpleasant methadone withdrawal symptoms tend to continue 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 stopping all at once.
