Facts

  • Out of the over 2 million drug abuse emergency room visits in 2009, over 14 percent were for alcohol, in combination with other drugs.
  • Marijuana use and early use of other illicit drugs during adolescence make an individual more likely to continue using marijuana in their mid-30s or beyond.
  • Some of the worst prescription drug withdrawal symptoms documented are from the drug Cymbalta, which are sometimes referred to as "nightmare-ish" due to their intensity and prevalence.
  • A closely observed, medically managed detoxification gives an individual going through withdrawal a much better chance at a safe and tolerable withdrawal experience.

Methadone Detoxification - Spring House, Pennsylvania

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. Typical withdrawal symptoms include: stomach cramps, nausea, sweating, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, irritability, sneezing, fever, chills, anxiety, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, hallucinations and clinical depression. Additionally, methadone withdrawal symptoms will last 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.
