Facts

  • Drug withdrawal symptoms from benzodiazepines can be more difficult than withdrawing from opioids.
  • Opiates such as heroin convert to morphine in the body which then activates opiate receptors located throughout the brain and central nervous system, including within the reward system.
  • The severity of a drug addicted individual's history with drugs and previous treatment efforts can greatly influence which drug rehab approach is right for them.
  • After being in a state of euphoria from drug use, individuals going through withdrawal after cessation of use of the drug may crash and become depressed.

North Bergen, New Jersey - Methadone Detoxification

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 methadone. Common symptoms include: stomach cramps, sweating, nausea, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, irritability, sneezing, fever, vomiting, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, hallucinations and clinical depression. 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 typically advise the gradual decrease of the drug over a period of time instead of completely stopping all at once.
