  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Due to the rapid onset of central nervous system depression that commonly occurs as the result of a methadone overdose, it is not wise to encourage the person to vomit, as this could lead to them choking.
  • In many instances, drug overdose deaths can be attributed to the amount of time that has lapsed between the initial signs of an overdose, and the time that it takes to administer the appropriate medical treatment.
  • Binge drinking is defined as consuming five or more drinks on the same occasion on at least 1 day in the past month.
  • Although heroin withdrawal is considered less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal, sudden withdrawal by chronic and long term heroin users who are in poor health can be fatal.
  • Although heroin abuse has trended downward for several years, its prevalence is still higher than in the early 1990s.

Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which must be supervised by drug addiction professionals within a drug treatment center who realize how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is regarded to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals frequently revert back to methadone to relieve withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification must only be done under strict supervision at a drug rehabilitation facility which has experience in dealing with this type of detox, and where the person can receive further treatment services to address all addiction issues.
