Abstrakt: Sudden withdrawal from high levels of methadone hydrochloride can be anticipated when patients in methadone maintenance programs are arrested, hospitalized, or stopped in their treatment by other extraneous reasons. While there is general concern that such abrupt withdrawal can be dangerous, the four cases which are presented indicate that the principal responses are subjective, with little in the way of objective physical reactions.
