Facts

  • There were an over 205,000 drug-related emergency room visits made by people seeking detox or substance abuse treatment services in 2009.
  • One option that is sometimes used to avoid opiate withdrawal is to replace the individual's drug of choice with methadone, a long-acting, cross-tolerant opiate that does not normally produce a "high."
  • Individuals who are addicted to heroin will endure many of the withdrawal symptoms to reduce their tolerance for the drug, only so they can once again experience the rush.
  • The sleeping drug triazolam sometimes causes individuals to develop panic attacks. After withdrawing from this sleeping pill, the panic attacks typically disappear.

Ulster Park, New York - Methadone Detoxification

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 methadone. Common symptoms include: stomach cramps, sweating, nausea, extreme cravings, tremors, sneezing, irritability, chills, vomiting, anxiety, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, clinical depression and hallucinations. Additionally, methadone withdrawal symptoms tend to continue 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.
