Methadone is a prescription medication that is often used in the treatment of opioid use disorders in New Jersey as well as in the rest of the United States. Doctors can also prescribe this drug for use in the management of moderate to severe pain. Even so, you might still find that you have started abusing it over time.
Ongoing abuse of this drug, on the other hand, will cause you to develop tolerance. As a result, you will get to a stage where you have to take it in higher doses or more frequently than you used to in the past before you can experience its pleasurable effects.
Unfortunately, most people do not realize that taking a single tablet of this drug with a dose of 10 milligrams could cause it to remain in your system for up to 5 days. This increases the risk of suffering a drug overdose.
For example, if you take a second dose a couple of hours after the first dose, you may go into overdose. This problem is so common that thousands of deaths are reported every year as a result of this type of drug overdose.
Methadone can help you by reducing the withdrawal symptoms that arise when you stop abusing other opioids. however, it can also cause you to experience these symptoms of withdrawal if you are already dependent on its effects.
Since it is a long-acting opioid, it will stay in your body for much longer than other shorter acting opioids - such as hydrocodone and oxycodone. This could increase your risk of suffering from drug dependence.
If you are dependent on methadone and you suddenly stop taking it or significantly reduce your normal dose of it, your mind and body will experience withdrawal symptoms unless you take more of the drug. This condition is known as a withdrawal syndrome.
The syndrome is so serious that it can cause you to suffer a relapse so that you start taking methadone again even after deciding that you were done with it. This is because of the following withdrawal symptoms:
Most of these symptoms tend to be intense. If you experience them, you should not try to manage the entire process on your own. Instead, you should consider seeking professional opioid addiction treatment from professionals who are trained and experienced enough to handle the situation.
While going through medical detoxification, you will get the opportunity to overcome your physical dependence on methadone in a safe and controlled environment. There are several centers in New Jersey that offer these detox services and they can help you deal with your methadone withdrawal symptoms as well as ensure that you get started on the road to long term recovery. After that, they will provide you with rehabilitation counseling and therapy services to overcome your psychological dependence on the drug.
