How long does it take to recover after you stop taking methadone?
Sseitz
Acute methadone withdrawal can last for up to two weeks, depending on the degree of addiction. Methadone metabolism produces long-lived metabolites that are also narcotic and create withdrawal symptoms. The best method involves SHORT TERM Suboxone therapy, preferably inpatient, with other medical support. Post acute withdrawal can last for several months, and ideally involves other kinds of care, principally emotional support, nutrition, exercise and medical evaluation for symptoms that may have been covered up by the addiction.
Recovery is a different issue entirely; it involves getting our emotional, physical and social life back to something like normal and, depending on how hard we are willing to work at it, can take from a few months to a couple of years -- to never.
