About Methadone Use & Addiction

Methadone is an opioid that’s used to treat patients with moderate to severe pain. It can also be used to help taper individuals off of an opioid dependence by working in parts of the brain and spinal cord to block the “high” that’s caused by them as well as reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

In 2012, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration, almost 2.5 million people over the age of 12 reported abusing methadone in their lifetime. Furthermore, in 2011, more than 65,000 emergency room visits were due to methadone misuse. This is why methadone rehabilitation is important.

The Dangers of Methadone

Symptoms

Methadone is available as a tablet, in liquid form, or via an injection, but no matter how it’s ingested, it can take several days before a dose is fully effective. Because of this, some people take it in higher doses in order to experience a “high” that can also lead to a need for a methadone treatment center. Feelings from methadone use include:

An overall euphoria
Sedation

Dangers & Effects of Methadone Use

Methadone is a dangerous drug to abuse, which is why we offer rehab for methadone users. Because it lasts so long, it’s easy for an individual to take doses too close together and unintentionally overdose. After steady use, it’s also easy to develop effects like:

Short-term effects include:

Itchy or flushed skin
Nausea and/or vomiting
Slow or shallow breathing
Disorientation
Blurred vision

Long-term effects include:

Chronic fatigue
Mental health issues like anxiety or depression
Memory loss
Increased risk of heart problems
Respiratory issues
Sexual dysfunction

Withdrawal Symptoms from Methadone Use

When an individual uses methadone for an extended period of time, they develop a tolerance to it and unlike other drugs, increased doses tend to leave the user in more of a “numb” state than a “high” state. When they stop using it without methadone withdrawal help, they can experience symptoms like:
