What to Expect During Drug Detox?

When you enter a detox program for drug addiction treatment, you will likely experience some degree of withdrawal. It may be mild or severe, and withdrawal symptoms can range from a few days of flu-like symptoms to dangerous seizures. For most people who are quitting drugs, especially after using for a long time or using a large amount (binging), detoxing is very uncomfortable, and can cause a great deal of psychological distress, which is why so many people relapse.

If you suspect you have a drug addiction, it is always recommended to detox under the close supervision of medical professionals. You will not only be protected from the most dangerous withdrawal symptoms, but if you check into a medical detox center you will also be in a drug-free location away from temptations, and you will be provided with prescription medications that are FDA-approved to quell the drug cravings, pain, and restlessness that detoxing can cause.

Symptoms of Detox by Drug Type

Each drug produces its own set of withdrawal symptoms. Some people may be more affected than others, as it depends on several factors, including your level of addiction, your history of use, genetic factors, and psychological factors.

Benzos

Withdrawal symptoms from benzodiazepine drugs include:

• Tremors/shaking
• Insomnia
• Light and sound sensitivity
• Increased heart rate
• Drug cravings

A slow taper off benzos, followed by a longer-term inpatient rehab program is recommended to avoid serious symptoms like seizures, long-term depression, and rebound withdrawal.

Opioids (Heroin)

Quitting opioid drugs is extremely difficult without medical intervention, as they are potent substances that cause changes to the brain. A medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program using medicine like methadone is a common route for quitting opioids. Common withdrawal symptoms include:

• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhea and digestive issues
• High blood pressure
• Rapid heart rate
• Anxiety
• Muscle and bone aches
• Severe drug cravings

Stimulants (Cocaine, Meth etc)

Quitting stimulant drugs requires an integrated approach that includes therapy and relapse prevention strategies, as they cause a strong psychological addiction that needs management. Withdrawal symptoms may include:

• Lethargy
• General malaise
• Muscle pain
• Tremors
• Hallucinations
• Paranoia
• Nightmares
• Restlessness
• Drug-induced psychosis
• Strong drug cravings

Bath Salts

‘Bath salts’ is the name for two synthetic drugs: mephedrone and MDPV, which are psychoactive stimulant drugs. Common withdrawal symptoms include:

• Anxiety
• Brain fog
• Depression
• Reduced cognitive function
• Gastric issues
• Insomnia
• Delirium and hallucinations

People who have a more severe addiction to bath salts may develop drug-induced psychosis, resulting in suicidal behavior or violence, so a longer-term inpatient program is recommended for detox and rehab.

Marijuana

People who have been everyday users of marijuana for months or years may experience withdrawal symptoms such as:

• Anxiety
• Insomnia and nightmares
• Irritability
• Restlessness
• Decreased appetite
• Depression
• Fever with chills
• General malaise
• Tremors
• Abdominal pain

Dxm/Cough Syrup

Dextromethorphan (DXM) has psychoactive and stimulating properties. Withdrawal from this drug is very uncomfortable making quitting difficult to achieve at home. Symptoms include:

• Restlessness
• Muscle and bone pain
• Insomnia
• Cold flashes
• Vomiting and diarrhea
• Weight loss
• Drug cravings

Ecstasy/Molly/MDMA

MDMA is a street drug that is often cut with other substances like ketamine, amphetamines and heroin, and it is often used with other drugs like alcohol and marijuana, so detoxing is a unique experience for each person. In general, most people experience:

• Depression
• Confusion
• Insomnia
• Anxiety
• Paranoia
• Memory and cognitive impairment
• Agitation
• Fatigue

Fentanyl

Fentanyl is a strong opioid drug that will usually require a long-term detox and rehabilitation plan like other opioids, as the relapse rate is significant and there may be rebound symptoms and cravings months or years after quitting. Withdrawal symptoms include:

• Muscle and bone pain
• Restlessness
• Vomiting and diarrhea
• Insomnia
• Severe drug cravings

Hallucinogens

There are several types of hallucinogenic drugs, many of which are not completely understood by the scientific community. They affect mood, sensory perceptions, muscle control and thought processes. PCP and ketamine are known addictive hallucinogens, with withdrawal symptoms like:

• Headaches
• Rapid heart rate
• Sweating
• Stiff muscles
• Depressed breathing
• Convulsions
• Strong drug cravings

Oxycodone

Oxycodone (oxy) is a prescription opioid drug that is often given for pain management. Withdrawal symptoms are similar to other opioid drugs, including:

• Muscle aches
• Restlessness
• Insomnia
• High blood pressure
• Rapid heartbeat
• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Flu-like symptoms
• Strong drug cravings

A longer stay in residential inpatient detox and rehab is recommended when quitting oxycodone and other painkiller prescriptions, followed by outpatient rehab and a long-term connection to peer support groups, recovery meetings, and a strong sober network with support from friends and family.

Prescription Drugs

There are many types of prescription drugs that can be addictive when abused. Prescription drug abuse is a serious issue in the United States today and usually occurs due to a lack of information provided by doctors, and over-prescription of drugs like benzodiazepines and opioids that can easily become an addiction. The type of drugs you are using, how much you are taking, how often you are taking them, and whether you are drinking or using other medications or illegal drugs while on the prescriptions will determine your level of addiction and how severe your withdrawal symptoms will be. An inpatient stay in a dedicated detox facility and drug rehab center that provides a customized, holistic approach to healing, using a slow taper off the medications is the safest and most effective way to stop misusing these drugs.

Acute Detox

Acute detox is a personalized treatment plan for people who may have a life-threatening condition or need intensive medical care due to serious withdrawal symptoms during drug and alcohol treatment. If you are placed in the acute detox program at Novo, you will have 24/7 monitoring by nursing staff, overseen by experienced medical doctors, with medications and care provided to ensure you do not suffer from seizures, depressed breathing, high blood pressure, and other dangerous issues as your body works to remove toxins.

Sub Acute Detox

Sub-acute detox is a type of Los Angeles drug detox for those with less-severe withdrawal symptoms. Your drug abuse treatment will be customized to your needs, and as these needs change during your detox stay, changes can be made to your personal plan, so you are as comfortable and secure as you need to be, without being given medications and treatments you don’t need.
