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.
- Smoking or injecting methamphetamine creates an intense rush or high almost immediately, while snorting the drug can cause about a 5 minute delay.
- When people mix cocaine and alcohol the dangers associated with the use of these substances are compounded, and the human liver combines cocaine and alcohol and manufactures a third substance, cocaethylene, which intensifies cocaine's euphoric effects while also increasing the risk of sudden death.
- An estimated one in five inhalant users reporting lifetime inhalant use experience at least one type of inhalant withdrawal symptom.
Methadone Detoxification - Thicket, TexasMethadone 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, sweating, nausea, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, sneezing, irritability, fever, chills, vomiting, anxiety, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, hallucinations and clinical depression. Additionally, these unpleasant 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 stopping all at once.
