What Is Detox Like?

Drug detox is the first step in recovery and it can be the most difficult. Withdrawal symptoms after severe or prolonged substance abuse can be extremely uncomfortable and at times even dangerous. Novo’s medical detox program offers patients a safe, comfortable environment to detox from drugs and alcohol. Patients will stay in private or semi-private non-hospital setting rooms where medical staff can monitor their vitals around the clock. You will live alongside others who are going through a similar journey which offers the opportunity for mutual support and creating life-long friendships. All meals are freshly prepared by a private chef and we also provide housekeeping services, so you can fully focus on your recovery.

What to Expect During Drug Detox?

During the admissions process, a team of board-certified doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, and counselors will conduct a thorough evaluation so they can create a personalized treatment plan. Once you are checked into your room, your vitals will be monitored around the clock to ensure your safety. Withdrawal symptoms can start within hours of your last dose, at which point medical personnel will begin administering medications to ease symptoms. Symptoms will peak within two to three days and can last for about a week. Once you begin to feel better, you can expect to begin participating in individual and group therapy classes.

Symptoms of Detox by Drug Type

Withdrawal symptoms will vary primarily depending on the drug. In general, you can expect withdrawal symptoms to be the opposite of the effects created when taking the drug. For example, cocaine withdrawals tend to cause lethargy and depression while alcohol causes anxiety and insomnia. The severity of withdrawal symptoms will depend on certain factors, such as the severity of drug use, longevity of substance abuse, drug use, sex, age, weight, and overall health. Varying symptoms from person to person are why personalized treatment plans are necessary for successful drug detox.

Benzos

Benzodiazepines are used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders; however, they are also widely abused. Physical dependency on benzos can easily happen to anyone, even when taken as directed, and can lead to severe withdrawal symptoms including seizures if not tapered down properly. Common withdrawal symptoms from benzodiazepines include:

• Rebound anxiety
• Irritability
• Depression
• Suicidal thoughts
• Light and sound sensitivity
• Cravings
• Increased heart rate
• Tremors
• Seizures
• Extreme mood swings

Opioids (Heroin)

Both prescription and illicit opioid abuse can lead to extremely uncomfortable and painful withdrawal symptoms. The physical dependence on opioids can make it extraordinarily difficult for addicts to stop using on their own.  All opioids have similar withdrawal symptoms, but the length of detox will vary from one to another. Long-acting opioids, like Methadone, take longer to completely leave the body. Prescription opioid and heroin withdrawals can include:

• Diarrhea and other gastrointestinal issues
• Severe abdominal cramping
• Hand and body tremors
• Flu-like symptoms
• Severe muscle aches
• Joint and bone pain
• High blood pressure
• Rapid heartbeat
• Nausea and vomiting

Stimulants (Cocaine, Meth etc)

Stimulants include illicit drugs like cocaine and methamphetamines, as well as prescription stimulants like Adderall. Cocaine and meth tend to cause more severe psychological symptoms when detoxing compared to other substances, however, physical symptoms can be quite uncomfortable as well. Different types will cause varying addiction severities and withdrawal symptoms which can include:

• Cravings
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Insomnia
• Extreme mood swings
• Paranoia
• Delusions
• Hallucinations
• Tremors and shakiness
• Fatigue
• Body aches
• Chills
• Suicidal thoughts or tendencies

Bath Salts

Bath salts are fairly new in comparison to other street drugs. They are designer psychoactive drugs made from MDPV and mephedrone. Bath salts can also be cut with various other drugs, which can lead to a wide range of withdrawal symptoms. Psychological effects while using bath salts include violent behaviors and suicidal tendencies. Withdrawal symptoms can include:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Panic attacks
• Delirium
• Nausea and vomiting
• Hallucinations
• Suicidal thoughts or behaviors
• Reduced cognitive function
• Hyperthermia
• Seizures

Marijuana

Marijuana use popularity has greatly grown in the US, including acceptance for medical uses. However, like some pharmaceuticals which have been used for decades to treat varying health issues, marijuana can be abused and lead to withdrawal symptoms when attempting to stop use after prolonged, frequent use. Withdrawals can make marijuana use more difficult to stop and can include symptoms such as:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Anger, irritability, and aggression
• Abdominal cramping
• Restlessness
• Headaches
• Nausea and vomiting
• Sweating
• Tremors
• Insomnia
• Decreased appetite and weight loss

Dxm/Cough Syrup

When cough syrups that contain DXM are taken in large quantities, they can cause euphoric and hallucinatory effects. When taken recreationally, DXM has a high abuse potential and can lead to developing physical dependence and addiction. Individuals may experience withdrawal symptoms when attempting to stop cough syrup/DXM abuse and experience symptoms such as:

• Upset stomach
• Diarrhea
• Excessive sweating
• Shakiness
• Hallucinations
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Mood swings
• Weight loss
• Insomnia

Ecstasy/Molly/MDMA

Ecstasy, Molly, and MDMA are party drugs that affect neurotransmitter activity, specifically those that influence feelings of love and happiness. This extreme high can quickly deplete the brain’s supply of chemicals and lead to depressed moods and more when coming down from the high. Ecstasy and these other drugs can lead to psychological addiction and intense psychological withdrawals which include symptoms like:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Insomnia
• Agitation
• Paranoia
• Fatigue
• Difficult concentrating
• Cravings
• Memory problems
• Changes in self-perception

Fentanyl

Fentanyl is an extremely potent opioid and is also highly addictive. Users can develop physical dependence even when using it for a short time. Withdrawal symptoms will vary depending on the severity and longevity of fentanyl abuse and symptoms are similar to other opioids, including:

• Anxiety
• Agitation
• Insomnia
• Nausea and vomiting
• Muscle aches
• Joint and bone pain
• Runny nose
• Increased tearing
• Yawning
• Muscle spasms
• Goosebumps
• Abdominal cramping and pain
• Dilated pupils
• Rapid heartbeat
• High blood pressure

Hallucinogens

Hallucinogens are typically not considered addictive, however, there is some evidence suggesting that users can develop tolerance with repeated, frequent use. Hallucinogens include drugs such as LSD, PCP, and Ketamine. Long-term use has the possibility of producing withdrawal symptoms such as:

• Rapid heartbeat
• Sweating
• Body temperature changes
• Headaches
• Hypersomnia
• Insomnia
• Restlessness
• Depressed breathing
• Seizures
• Convulsions

Oxycodone

Oxycodone is one of the most commonly prescribed opioid painkillers which has a high abuse potential. Users prescribed oxycodone can easily develop physical dependence and addiction even when used as prescribed, especially if they are predisposed to addiction such as having a family history of it. Withdrawal symptoms are similar to other opioids and can make it difficult to stop using on your own. Many have compared oxycodone withdrawals to a bad case of the flu with symptoms such as:

• Diarrhea
• Nausea and vomiting
• Muscle aches
• Temperature changes
• Anxiety
• Irritability
• Restlessness
• Heart palpitations
• Changes in blood pressure
• Drowsiness

Prescription Drugs

Several types of prescription medications have a high abuse potential which can lead to individuals unintentionally developing a substance use disorder. The most misused and addictive prescription medications include opioid painkillers, central nervous system depressants like Xanax, and stimulants like Adderall. Some other prescription drugs like sleep medications and antidepressants can lead to physical dependence but not a substance use disorder. Withdrawal symptoms can make it difficult to stop using prescription medications and can include symptoms such as:

• Sweating
• Fatigue
• Vomiting
• Nausea
• Dilated pupils
• Shakiness
• Irritability
• Muscle and joint aches
• Increased heart rate
• Depression
• Anxiety and panic attacks

Acute Detox

Acute detox programs can support patients who are at risk for developing dangerous or life-threatening withdrawal symptoms. Certain substances, such as opioids and alcohol, require around-the-clock medical care to ensure patient safety. Patients in acute detox can be given medications to stabilize vitals and greatly reduce painful and uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms.

Sub Acute Detox

Milder addictions or certain types of substances are not likely to cause dangerous withdrawal symptoms. Patients in these cases can safely go through sub-acute detox, which does not require around-the-clock medical care. Sub-acute detox can be done in outpatient settings, allowing patients to detox at home. However, these patients have the option to detox at a facility where they can receive support and medications to ease the withdrawal process.
