    This document discusses two drugs used for withdrawal: methadone for opioid withdrawal which has a long half-life and can cause nausea, vomiting, and lethargy in early toxicity requiring monitoring of QT interval and oxygen saturation; and disulfiram (Antabuse) for alcohol withdrawal which causes reactions to alcohol so patients must be warned about arts and crafts using rubbing alcohol.
