Facts

  • Sudden stopping use of methadone at high doses can result in withdrawal symptoms described as "the worst withdrawal imaginable," which individuals will need to endure for weeks or even months.
  • The behavior of alcohol abusers and the consequences of that behavior are better indicators of alcoholism than how often or how much alcohol a person consumes alcohol.
  • Use of barbiturates decreases REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, during which dreaming takes place, and therefore withdrawal often results in sleep disruptions such as nightmares, insomnia, or vivid dreaming.
  • Opiate withdrawal symptoms are stronger approximately 24-72 hours after they begin and generally dissipate within 7-10 days.

Methadone Detoxification - Stinson Beach, California

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and challenging experience. Symptoms usually begin between twenty-four and forty-eight hours after the user's last dose of methadone. Typical withdrawal symptoms include: stomach cramps, sweating, nausea, extreme cravings, tremors, sneezing, irritability, chills, 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.
