Facts

  • PCP was first administered as an IV anesthetic during medical procedures, but was never approved for human use because of problems during clinical studies, including intensely negative psychological effects.
  • There is no lack of methadone at the street level, as dealers acquire the drug through various illegal and unsafe means.
  • Many addicted individuals misuse their outpatient methadone maintenance program, and take less than a blocking dose of 80 mg. so that they will be able to "feel it" if they combine their methadone dose with other drugs such as heroin.
  • Long-term use of anti-depressants brings about an unique set of withdrawal symptoms when discontinued; much different than the repeated use of an opioid, such as heroin.

Methadone Detoxification - Wadmalaw Island

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