Facts

  • There are different stages of drug and alcohol withdrawal. The individual person will start to feel worse and worse, hit a plateau, and then withdrawal symptoms begin to dissipate.
  • Alcohol withdrawal is triggered when the central nervous system attempts to adjust to the sudden absence of ethyl alcohol in the body.
  • Most opiate addicted individuals are no longer capable of holding down a job which often leads to loss of health insurance coverage. Diseases and conditions that develop as a result of opiate addiction are therefore often paid for through public funds because these individuals cannot pay for their own treatment.
  • 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.

Delco, NC. - Methadone Detoxification

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and taxing experience. 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, fever, 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 typically advise the gradual decrease of the drug over a period of time instead of completely stopping all at once.
