Facts

  • In a recent study, the percentage of persons with inhalant dependence reporting clinically significant inhalant withdrawal symptoms was almost equal to the percentage of persons with cocaine dependence reporting clinically significant cocaine withdrawal symptoms.
  • 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."
  • Studies indicate that stimulation of opiate receptors as a result of opiate use results in feelings of reward, and activation of the pleasure circuit by causing greater amounts of dopamine to be released within the brain.
  • Morphine withdrawal symptoms can last for up to 10 days, while withdrawal from methadone may take weeks or months.
