Facts

  • It is not uncommon for marijuana substance abuse treatment admissions to also report the use of alcohol and other drugs.
  • Studies indicate that most of the damage caused by most drugs will eventually heal when the individual stops using them; this is not the case with the abuse of inhalants.
  • Studies indicate that as much as half of the dopamine-producing cells in the brain can be damaged by prolonged exposure to relatively low levels of methamphetamine.
  • OxyContin should not be taken when pregnant or nursing because the child may experience respiratory depression or withdrawal symptoms either at birth or in the nursery.

Methadone Detoxification - South Boston, Massachusetts

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, sweating, nausea, extreme cravings, tremors, irritability, sneezing, chills, vomiting, anxiety, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, hallucinations and clinical depression. Additionally, these unpleasant 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 stopping all at once.
