Facts

  • Medical supervision is highly recommended when and individual is going through withdrawal from benzodiazepines such as Xanax, as doing so without proper medical attention could potentially result in death.
  • When a mother takes antidepressants to treat her depression symptoms, the fetus shares the medication with the mother. When the baby is born and deprived of the drug, they are at risk for neonatal withdrawal syndrome.
  • The excessive release of dopamine and stimulation of the brain and central nervous system's natural reward system as a result of opiate use is what leads to addiction.
  • Most of the States in the nation which have the lowest rates of use of illicit drugs use among persons aged 12 or older are either from the South (five States) or the Midwest (three States).

Methadone Detoxification - St. Bernard, Louisiana

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and challenging experience. Withdrawal 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, extreme cravings, tremors, irritability, sneezing, chills, vomiting, anxiety, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, hallucinations and clinical depression. 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 share that it is important to gradually decrease your dose of the drug over a period of time instead of completely stopping all at once.
