In reply to symptoms of methadone detox??? , posted by alejandra on September 4, 2002, at 14:08:27
I was addicted to codine ( same drug family as methadone )for a lower back injury and was sick for 18 days trying to get off codine...I could not do it alone 4 times in one year ..I went to Homewood mental health centre in Guelph Ontario ...rated 4th best center in North America..they used a methadone taper to get me off the codine that lasted only one week ...Methadone I believe is like a neutralizer for hard opiate drugs ..heroine ,cocaine.codine opium...and so on ...I Think that you are really going to have to check with A good detox center like the one mentioned above to see how he can get off methadone easy ..I'm sure there is some type of sedative that could help ..BUT this is SERIOUS so talk to a detox center that specializes with drugs and alcohol abuse ..if not done right he could have a very serious siezsure and convulsions and I dont want to mention the other word but this is no slice of pie ..Get GOOD Advice..My payers are with the two of you
