  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • In the state of Massachusetts between the years of 2002-2007, 3,265 people died from opiate-related overdoses.
  • Individuals who have used Oxycontin with a prescription for legitimate use may not even realize that they are experiencing withdrawal when they stop using the drug, and many report thinking that they just have the flu.
  • Overdose deaths can be intentional or unintentional, and they can result from both licit and illicit drug abuse. Drugs commonly implicated in overdose deaths are alcohol, psychoactive medications, analgesics, illicit drugs such as cocaine and heroin, and multiple drugs taken concomitantly.
  • In the workplace in the U.S., male workers are more likely than female workers to report heavy alcohol use (11.1% vs. 2.5%).
  • For opiate addicted individuals, detox by itself is not treatment. Most opiate addicts will eventually resume taking them unless they get further help.

Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which should be overseen by drug addiction professionals within a drug treatment program who realize how challenging and difficult methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is regarded to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and users frequently revert back to methadone to alleviate 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 program which has practical experience in handling this type of detoxification, and where the person can receive further rehabilitation services to address all addiction issues.
