  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • An overdose from amphetamines is generally characterized by symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat, muscle cramps, seizures, psychosis, paranoia, and confusion, loss of motor control movement, lack of consciousness, cardiac arrest, and death.
  • Early onset of morphine withdrawal can result in: watery eyes, insomnia, diarrhea, runny nose, yawning, dysphoria, restlessness, loss of appetite, body aches, severe abdominal pain, nausea tremors, and an intense craving for morphine or other opiates.
  • The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is currently examining the prescription histories of individuals who have died from prescription drug overdoses in hopes of identifying markers that are indicative of people at risk of fatal overdoses; this information can be used to enhance the effectiveness of prescription monitoring programs nationwide.
  • Heavy amphetamine users sometimes commit sudden, violent, and irrational acts as a result of drug-induced distortions of perception and delusions that other individuals are threatening or persecuting them.
  • Drug detoxification in a drug rehab may be managed with medications that are given by a physician in an inpatient or outpatient setting, which is known as "medically managed withdrawal."

Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which must be overseen by substance abuse professionals within a drug treatment program who realize how challenging and difficult methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is known 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 relieve symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification should only be done under close supervision at a drug rehab facility which has practical experience in dealing with this type of detox, and where the individual can receive further rehabilitation services to deal with all addiction issues.
