I would say a person is ‘clean’ after they get through the physical withdrawls.

Well, there are a lot of side effects from withdrawals Just depends on how bad the habit is. Irritabilty, emotional, mood swings (really bad), nausea, wanting to ‘crawl out of your skin’ feeling, anxiety, diarrea, no appetite, become pale, vomiting, extreme muscle aches, sometimes restless leg syndrome, pretty much hell.

It is possible to die, but I would think it would be because of dehydration. It really just depends on the habit.

Question by Atypical Lover: How long would you be on heroin to need methadone?
I know it depends on various factors such as dosage, purity and route of administration, but how do you know if you need methadone for withdrawal?

For example, if someone was smoking small doses of average-quality powder heroin twice a day for three weeks, and then IV’d tiny doses three times, would they need methadone? If not, how long would the withdrawals last? The person in question is a female teenager, 5’7″ tall and weighs around 125lbs.
Yeah she’s physically sick. Every morning she wakes up feeling like crap until she gets her smoke.
