  • A heroin overdose can be potentially deadly, if an observer does not realize that the symptoms of overdose are far more intense and serious than the actual immediate effects of the drug.
  • Methadone is one of the strongest opiates. It has a slow onset of action and a long half-life and causes severe respiratory depression which is usually the cause of death.
  • Doctor shopping is when individuals who wish to use OxyContin to get high visit numerous doctors to obtain prescriptions; the most common form of illegal diversion of the drug.
  • The number of fatal drug overdoses in the U.S. has nearly doubled within the last ten years, according to the most recently available government statistics.
  • Illicit drug use among Americans in the military increased from 5 percent to 12 percent among active duty service members between 2005 and 2008, primarily due to prescription drug abuse.

Detox for Methadone

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