Facts

  • Opiate overdose can occur when opiates slow down respiration to the point that can cause the person to stop breathing altogether and die.
  • Doctors argue whether the withdrawal syndrome leaves individuals who take sleeping medication worse than they would be without the drug, but evidence suggests that it often does.
  • Research indicates that, like cocaine and other abused drugs, opiates activate the brain's reward system causing pain relief, a sense of euphoria and pleasure.

Methadone Detoxification - Suplee

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 the drug. Typical withdrawal symptoms include: stomach cramps, sweating, nausea, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, sneezing, irritability, chills, anxiety, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, clinical depression and hallucinations. 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 stopping all at once.
