What Is Detox Like?

Drug detox is often the first step in a substance abuser’s recovery journey. Before you can begin to explore the underlying emotions and traumas that have contributed to your addictive behavior, it is important that you rid your body of any harmful chemicals or toxins to be able to regain a clear, stable mind and emotional state. As you release the harmful toxins, your body will experience withdrawal symptoms that may produce uncomfortable and, sometimes dangerous, side effects. A drug detox program will provide you with the comfort of knowing your health and well-being are being monitored by highly credentialed medical staff and addiction therapists who place your safety and well-being at the highest priority. Once you have begun to regain your normal physical functioning free of any influences of drugs and alcohol, you will be ready to begin your drug rehab program to explore the root causes of your drug addiction.

What to Expect During Drug Detox?

As you embark on your journey in drug detox, you will be provided with an individualized plan that is centered around your specific needs for healing. Our team will formulate a treatment plan based on your history of drug abuse and any presenting physical health concerns, taking into account any mental health or behavioral health conditions you may be living with. Your time in detox will include the ongoing support and supervision of our onsite nurses and physicians, providing you with appropriate medical interventions as withdrawal symptoms occur, including a medication-assisted treatment program. Once our team can stabilize your physical withdrawal symptoms, we can start addressing any presenting psychological symptoms through evidence-based therapy methods including behavioral therapy, holistic treatments, and dual diagnosis treatment approaches.

Symptoms of Detox by Drug Type

Each substance has its unique effects on a drug abuser, and when you quit taking that drug, withdrawal symptoms occur that are unique to that specific substance. Symptoms will range in severity and require specific treatments and medical support to help you safely overcome any negative side effects with comfort and ease.

Benzos

Benzodiazepines are commonly prescribed for individuals living with anxiety disorder, panic disorder, or seizures. When a person begins abusing benzos and attempts to stop taking drugs, it can exacerbate the symptoms of the original co-occurring disorder. Withdrawal symptoms from benzos can include: 

• Anxiety
• Irritability
• Hallucinations
• Aggression or hostility 
• Mood swings
• The onset of panic attacks
• Hand or body tremors
• Seizures

Opioids

Opioid withdrawal symptoms are known to cause withdrawal symptoms that can be severe and, sometimes, painful depending on your unique history of drug abuse. Heroin withdrawal symptoms should be monitored by healthcare professionals to ensure your physical and mental health is being maintained. Opioid withdrawal can include the following symptoms or side effects:

• Abdominal pains or stomach cramping 
• Challenges with gastrointestinal functioning
• Severe and uncomfortable muscle or body aches
• Hand and body tremors
• Pains within your bones and joints
• Increased feelings or sensitivity to pain
• Flu-like symptoms

Stimulants

Stimulants will typically impact a person’s psychological health and produce physical withdrawal symptoms. Cocaine and meth addiction will often produce the following symptoms and side effects:

• Panic attacks
• Insomnia or difficulty sleeping
• Paranoia or paranoid delusions
• Hallucinations
• Suicidal ideations or behaviors

Bath Salts

Bath salts are relatively new to the illicit drug market, and the impacts of this drug are still being discovered. However, it has been demonstrated by substance abusers that bath salts can have detrimental impacts on a person’s psychological and physical health. Individuals experiencing withdrawal symptoms from bath salts will exhibit some or all of the following symptoms: 

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Panic attacks
• Self-harming behaviors including self-mutilation
• Suicidal thoughts, ideations, and behaviors
• Hyperthermia
• Catatonia (inability to respond or move normally)

Marijuana

Marijuana is a popular substance that is often considered to be a drug with minimal impacts as there is a perception that you are unable to become physically dependent on marijuana like other substances. However, marijuana has been known to cause withdrawal symptoms after prolonged use including the following symptoms:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Drastic mood swings 
• Stomach pains and cramping 
• Hand or body tremors
• Increased body temperature

DXM/Cough Syrup

Individuals with a history of DXM or cough syrup abuse will experience a wide range of side effects when using this substance, and the withdrawal symptoms will reflect the same. Individuals may show withdrawal symptoms of:

• Insomnia
• Anxiety
• Panic attacks
• Experiencing mood swings 
• Diarrhea
• Hallucinations

Ecstasy/Molly/MDMA

MDMA and ecstasy are known to impact the substance abuser’s mental health. While under the influence, the substance abuser will experience an extreme state of euphoria and overexcitement, and happiness. However, when a person begins to come down from their high, there are serious mental health and physical health side effects which can include: 

• Paranoia 
• Memory loss 
• Delirium
• Confusion
• Delusions about interactions and observances around you
• Extreme exhaustion
• Fatigue
• Erratic mood changes ranging from extreme highs to depressive lows 
• Inability to concentrate or a “brain fog”

Fentanyl

Fentanyl is a highly addictive opioid that produces similar effects as other opioids but has a higher potency than other opioids. When you quit using fentanyl, you will experience a range of withdrawal symptoms depending on the severity of the drug abuse. Some withdrawal symptoms that individuals may experience are: 

• Stomach aches and cramping 
• Nausea
• Vomiting 
• Diarrhea
• Severe aches and pains in within bones 
• Muscle and joint discomfort and pains 
• Muscle weakness and, in some cases, deterioration 
• Irregular respiratory functioning

Hallucinogens

Hallucinogens are a drug that will alter your thought process and mind state. After coming down from your high, there is potential for drug abusers to experience side effects stemming from their hallucinogen use that have the potential of being serious. In some cases, there may be occurrences where individuals won’t experience withdrawal symptoms. However, if you were to have the onset of symptoms, you may experience the following side effects: 

• Flashbacks or disturbing memories
• Excessive sweating 
• Increased heart rate 
• Muscle stiffness or pains
• Seizures
• Convulsions

Oxycodone

Oxycodone is a prescription opioid that will produce similar effects to illicit opioids. When you attempt to quit using oxycodone, your body will experience withdrawal symptoms as it attempts to restore itself to normal functioning without the presence of oxycodone. Withdrawal symptoms from oxycodone can include: 

• Abnormal heart rate 
• Diarrhea
• Sweating 
• Severe headaches 
• Inability to concentrate 
• Muscle and body pains

Prescription Drugs

Prescription drugs are provided to patients for a variety of reasons. While the intention behind taking prescription drugs is to treat an ongoing disorder or mental health condition, there is potential for these substances to become highly addictive if they are misused. When a person attempts to quit using prescription drugs, there can be a range of withdrawal symptoms that occur including the following:

• Depression
• Anxiety 
• Panic attacks
• Insomnia or changes in sleeping patterns 
• Inability to regulate emotions
• Mood swings
• Hand or body tremors
• Seizures

Acute Detox

An acute detox program is designed to support patients who are living with a severe addiction to drugs and alcohol. When you have been engaging in substance abuse for a prolonged period of time or in a large quantity each time, your body will become accustomed to functioning with the harmful chemicals from drugs and alcohol. As you attempt to quit, your body will attempt to restore its functioning, often producing significant withdrawal symptoms that can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening. An acute detox will allow you to put your mind at ease so that your detox program will be smooth and comfortable as you are provided with ongoing medical treatments to minimize and maintain your withdrawal symptoms to mild, stable symptoms. An acute detox focuses on upholding the patient’s safety as you take the initial steps in your recovery journey.

Sub-Acute Detox

Some individuals will experience mild or moderate withdrawal symptoms that will not pose a risk to your safety and well-being. In these cases, patients will not require the support of an acute detox and will be invited to participate in a sub-acute detox. During a sub-acute detox, you will be invited to attend the treatment center to check in with our healthcare professionals who will monitor your progress and check in about your mental health state. You will be free to return home each night or to a low-risk environment allowing you a flexible option for drug detox.
