Facts

  • Many addicted individuals misuse their outpatient methadone maintenance program, and take less than a blocking dose of 80 mg. so that they will be able to "feel it" if they combine their methadone dose with other drugs such as heroin.
  • Tolerance to crystal meth will typically occur in chronic users, meaning the user must use higher doses to achieve the same effect.
  • Men with a history of anabolic steroid use often report cases of impotence; a reduction in the amount of sperm has also been directly linked to short term steroid use.
  • Withdrawal symptoms associated with methadone can include but are not limited to body aches and muscle cramping, back aches, leg kicking, anxiety, chills, shivering or trembling, abdominal cramping, weakness, increased blood pressure, convulsions, insomnia, diarrhea, running nose, watery eyes, sneezing, sweating, pale and clammy skin, nausea and thoughts of suicide.

Methadone Detoxification - South Orleans, Massachusetts

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 methadone. Common symptoms include: stomach cramps, nausea, sweating, extreme cravings, tremors, sneezing, irritability, chills, vomiting, anxiety, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, hallucinations and clinical depression. Additionally, methadone withdrawal symptoms tend to continue 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 typically advise the gradual decrease of the drug over a period of time instead of completely stopping all at once.
