Facts

  • When cocaine is smoked the high may last only five to 10 minutes, causing the user to want more cocaine more often to try to maintain that high.
  • The THC in hashish interferes with a part of the brain called the basal ganglia which is involved in movement control.
  • LSD can induce delusions and visual hallucinations which may distort the user's sense of time and identity.
  • Whether a drug addicted individual stays in drug rehab depends on many factors including motivation to change behavioral patterns and the degree of support offered from family and friends. This often frequently includes pressure from the criminal justice system, child protection services, employers or family.

Methadone Detoxification - Smithfield, VA.

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and challenging experience. Symptoms usually begin between twenty-four and forty-eight hours after the user's last dose of methadone. Common symptoms include: stomach cramps, nausea, sweating, extreme cravings, tremors, irritability, sneezing, fever, chills, anxiety, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, clinical depression and hallucinations. Additionally, methadone withdrawal symptoms will last 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 typically advise the gradual decrease of the drug over a period of time instead of completely stopping all at once.
