With very large doses, an opiate user cannot be awakened, pupils become smaller, and the skin becomes cold, moist, and bluish in color. Breathing slows down and death may occur.

Many drug rehab treatment programs offer detoxification. The detoxification process is only the initial step on the road to recovery. Detoxification within the context of a drug rehab program helps the individual to safely manage the acute physical symptoms of withdrawal associated with stopping drug use. While detoxification alone is rarely sufficient in helping addicts achieve long-term sobriety, for some individuals it is a strongly indicated precursor to effective drug addiction treatment.

Individuals that are experiencing methamphetamine related psychosis may feel intense paranoia, hear voices, or experience extremely bizarre delusions.
