AFFORDABLE PAIN-FREE OPIATE HEROIN METHADONE DETOX

Heroin addiction, as well as all opiate addictions requires a medically supervised detox to remove the withdrawal symptoms associated with each particular opiate. Heroin, Methadone and Oxycontin use causes strong physical dependence therefore opiate detox runs the risk of serious complications if the use of heroin, methadone, or oxycontin is stopped abruptly. “Cold Turkey” opiate-based-detox, (stopped abruptly with zero medication) and the associated withdrawal symptoms can include seizures, heart irregularities, vomiting, insomnia, sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, depression, suicidal ideations, high anxiety and much more. Heroin withdrawal symptoms in average heroin abusers may occur as quickly as a few hours after last administration, regardless if it is smoked, snorted or injected. The half-life of heroin averages six hours. That means 50 percent of the drug will have metabolized in six hours leaving fifty percent still in the system; after twelve hours there will be approximately 25 percent of the drug still in the system; eighteen hours later approximately 12.5 percent of the drug will remain. So the average heroin addict must use between three and four times daily just to maintain a sense of balance or comfort. Additional symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal may include; drug craving, restlessness, irritability, muscle aches, bone and joint pain, diarrhea, cold flashes (sometimes called cold sweats), goose bumps, restless leg syndrome, and an overall feeling of impending doom.

For most of the last century the ability of doctors and drug treatment centers to help opiate addicts has been hindered by the federal government’s Harrison Narcotic Act of 1914. It was originally designed as a tax act and interpreted by the Supreme Court to prohibit doctors from prescribing opiate based medications to opiate addicts. Thereby eliminating the “Taper Down Method” altogether. The consequences are very troubling. Currently 600,000 known heroin addicts incarcerated in the U.S. and another 810,000 known heroin addicts in society. Approximately 108,000 new people will try heroin this year. These statistics do not include methadone addicts, oxycodone addicts, vicodin addicts, fentanyl addicts, percocet addicts, norco addicts and many other opiate addicts.

The one exception to the Harrison Act is methadone. It was created in Germany during WWII to help replace morphine. Eli Lilly brought methadone to the United Sates in 1947 and coined the name dolophine, which it derives from the Latin “dolor” which means pain and “phine” which means end. It was originally brought to the United States as an analgesic but soon it was touted as a cure for heroin addiction. The main problem with methadone is that more often than not the “Taper Down Method” is replaced with the long-term maintenance modality. Another problem with methadone is that a plethora of other medications have entered onto pharmacy shelves since 1947 via companies like Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals (Largest U.S. Methadone Manufacturer), Purdue Pharma (Oxycontin Manufacturer) and Hoffmann-LaRoche (Valium or Diazepam Manufacturer). Some of these medications have been known to create great euphoria in methadone addicts when taken prior to methadone administration. It is known as a synergistic effect; one drug multiplies the effect of the other; that is the case with benzodiazepines and methadone. It is a potentially lethal mix. Methadone is second only to heroin in opiate based overdose deaths. Heroin either alone or in combination with other substances accounted for 43 percent of all drug overdose deaths in 2005.

The latest hope in the treatment of Heroin Addiction, Methadone Addiction and Oxycontin Addiction is “The Drug Abuse Act of 2000” that allows the prescription of Suboxone for opiate addicts to ease the withdrawal symptoms during heroin detox, methadone detox and oxycontin detox. Whereas drugs like heroin, methadone and oxycontin are pure agonists; meaning they fully bind to the mu receptors in the brain and produce copious amounts of dopamine; Buprenorphine, the main ingredient within Suboxone is a partial agonist and produces very limited amounts of dopamine. The receptors are literally tricked into believing that all is well because the mu receptor is full. For the first time, drug rehabs and drug detox centers can use Suboxone to provide a comfortable methadone detox, heroin detox or oxycontin detox. Thus, making the dreaded “Cold Turkey” opiate detox a thing of the past.
