Methadone Detox: Resolved Question: First Night Detoxing From Heroin?
Resolved Question: First night detoxing from heroin?
I brought a family member to detox today, it was his first time ever trying to get help from an outside source. Needless to say I was very hopeful, and happy. It was nerve wracking to drop him off in a different town, at a strange place, and I’m sure it was even more nerve wracking for him. He lasted about 4 hours. He called me VERY upset. and I called his girlfriend, because I was worried (as was she) that his enabler and dealer, was going to be the one to go pick him up. So his girlfriend went and got him. He took a first step, something we thought he would never do. He wants to stop. My question to everyone is this: Statistically, how common is it for people to, not make it through, their first night of detox???? That is all I want to know. If I get that answered and maybe some helpful suggestions, that would be amazing. I can’t even explain how happy I was to see even just a “baby step” But I would be so happy if He went a little further, as long as it too, for him to be sober, and not dead. <3

Methadone Detox: Sweat Testing to Monitor Drug Exposure.
Sweat testing to monitor drug exposure.
Ann Clin Lab Sci. 2013; 43(1): 22-30
Gambelunghe C, Rossi R, Aroni K, Bacci M, Lazzarini A, De Giovanni N, Carletti P, Fucci N
It may be advantageous to use sweat, rather than blood or urine, to monitor individuals’ drug exposure for the purposes of drug treatment programs, employment initiatives, and forensic investigations. Forty-eight patients receiving methadone at the Public Service for the Treatment of Drug Dependence of Perugia (Italy) were monitored for 14 days by the analysis of methadone and cocaine present in two sweat patches, each worn for 7 days. The results were compared to those from the analysis of urine samples collected at the beginning of the study and after 7 days, as well as those from the analysis of hair collected on the fourteenth day. Sweat patch analysis was positive for methadone and its metabolite EDDP in 100% of patients. Some individuals were positive for cocaine in urine, sweat, and hair while others were positive for cocaine in only one of those samples. Results suggest analysis of a sweat patch indicates an individual’s drug use or drug washout for the previous week, and provides an alternative to blood or urine analyses.
