What to Expect During Drug Detox?

Coming to drug detox at Novo’s drug and alcohol rehab in Houston, you can expect to be treated with the highest level of service and care from experienced and professional doctors, therapists, holistic treatment providers, and other professionals. You may experience some degree of withdrawal, but we will ensure you are safe and will do all we can to keep you comfortable as your body processes the chemical and physiological changes that come with detoxing.

You will live inside our rehab center’s private or semi-private rooms, staying inside the recovery center not only to remove yourself from the temptation to relapse but also so our doctors and nurses can watch your progress. Once you start to feel better, usually after 3 to 10 days, you can seamlessly transition into your inpatient rehab program inside the same inpatient rehab facility.

Symptoms of Detox by Drug Type

Every drug type has its own set of withdrawal symptoms, which is why a customized detox program for each patient should be based not only on the patient’s goals and needs but also on the drug they were using. The list below of some of the most common drugs that require medical detox protocols and the withdrawal symptoms they may produce.

Benzos

Benzodiazepine drugs are often prescribed for anxiety disorders, seizure control, and other disorders without the oversight needed to help patients avoid addiction. These drugs can cause dangerous side effects if you quit cold turkey, so it is often recommended to detox inside a rehab facility with extended care in a medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program to help you taper off your use in a set schedule over a longer period of time under medical supervision.

Withdrawal symptoms from benzodiazepines may include:

• Insomnia
• Intense anxiety or panic
• Shaking
• Light and sound sensitivity
• Increased heart rate
• Depression
• Seizures

Opioids

Opioid addiction (including heroin addiction) can be quite difficult to overcome, and medical detox protocols are often required, along with a long-term medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program to help patients taper off their opioid use slowly and safely, without suffering from pain, severe drug cravings, and other opioid or heroin detox withdrawal symptoms like:

• Flu-like symptoms
• High blood pressure
• Rapid heart rate and anxiety
• Diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting
• Muscle and bone aches

Stimulants

Detoxing from stimulants (meth detox, cocaine detox, etc.) often requires an integrated treatment plan that includes behavioral therapy, medical care, mental health treatments, and therapy with relapse prevention strategies at the forefront, as these drugs have a strong psychological addiction element. Withdrawal symptoms for meth addiction, cocaine addiction, and addiction to other stimulants may include:

• General malaise and lethargy
• Muscle pain
• Tremors
• Nightmares
• Restlessness
• Hallucinations and paranoia
• Drug-induced psychosis
• Strong drug cravings

Bath Salts

‘Bath Salts’ is actually the street name for a couple of different synthetic drugs, MDPV, and mephedrone. These are both serious stimulants that have psychoactive effects. Treatment for addiction to bath salts often requires inpatient drug detox, followed by a stay inside a drug rehab center, to ensure your safety, health, and overall wellness. Common withdrawal symptoms include:

• Anxiety and/or depression
• Brain fog and reduced cognitive function
• Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
• Insomnia
• Delirium and hallucinations
• Drug-induced psychosis that may lead to violent behavior or self-harm

Marijuana

Long-time everyday users of marijuana who quit cold turkey may experience withdrawal symptoms like:

• Anxiety, irritability, and restlessness
• Insomnia and nightmares
• Depression and general malaise
• Abdominal pain with decreased appetite
• Tremors
• Fever with chills

DXM/Cough Syrup

Dextromethorphan (DXM) is the active ingredient in some cough syrups, often abused due to its stimulating and psychoactive properties. A medical drug detox, followed by inpatient rehab is often recommended as withdrawal symptoms can be extremely uncomfortable, with a high probability of relapse without professional help. These symptoms include:

• Cold flashes
• Restlessness and insomnia
• Muscle and bone pain
• Vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea
• Unhealthy weight loss
• Drug cravings

Ecstasy/Molly/MDMA

Detox programs for these party drugs are highly customized as they are often cut with and used alongside other drugs, from ketamine to heroin. Many people also drink alcohol or smoke marijuana while on MDMA. A stay in inpatient rehab will help people addicted to these drugs detox safely, with the time to rest and recover. Common withdrawal symptoms associated with these drugs are:

• Paranoia, agitation, and anxiety
• Confusion with memory and cognitive impairment
• Fatigue
• Depression
• Insomnia

Fentanyl

Fentanyl is a powerful and addictive opioid medication often prescribed for severe pain but also manufactured illegally and cut into street drugs to increase potency and drug dealer profits. Fentanyl addiction usually requires medication-assisted treatment programs to help taper off use safely, with inpatient rehab for 30 to 90 days, followed by outpatient care in many cases. Withdrawal symptoms from fentanyl include:

• Vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea
• High blood pressure and heart rate
• Restlessness and insomnia
• Muscle and bone pain
• Severe drug cravings

Hallucinogens

When you think about substance abuse, you may not include hallucinogenic drugs as they are touted as “safe” and “not addictive.” The truth is that there have not been enough in-depth studies on many types of hallucinogenic drugs, but we do know that PCP and ketamine have the potential for addiction, affecting mood, sensory processing, thoughts, and muscle control, and may require a stay inside an inpatient treatment center to treat withdrawal symptoms like:

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

Oxycodone

Oxycodone is a prescription opioid painkiller that often requires an integrated medication-assisted inpatient drug rehab program for detoxing, as withdrawal symptoms can be severe if left untreated. These include:

• Flu-like symptoms
• Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
• Insomnia and restlessness
• High blood pressure
• Muscle aches and pain
• Intense drug cravings that can feel impossible to resist

Prescription Drugs

Prescription drug addiction can take many forms, as several categories of prescription medication have the potential for abuse, requiring addiction treatments. Benzodiazepine drugs and prescription opioid painkillers are often overprescribed without sufficient medical supervision, leading to addiction even if you take them as prescribed. Amphetamine drugs, sedatives, and sleeping pills are also commonly abused. Staying in inpatient rehab is often recommended for prescription drug rehab, with a customized holistic approach to treatment that will help you not only resolve your addiction but will also help you address the underlying issues like pain, anxiety, or mental health issues that the medications were prescribed for.

Acute Detox

Acute detox is a residential treatment plan for severe drug and alcohol addiction. This program provides customized treatments as you live inside an inpatient drug rehab for patients who may develop life-threatening conditions and those who need intensive medical care and round-the-clock supervision to ensure safety. In acute detox at Novo drug detox centers, our doctors and nurses will be available 24 hours a day, ensuring your medical detox or medication-assisted treatment goes to plan, providing mental health care, therapy, holistic treatments, and ensuring you stay healthy and avoid dangerous withdrawal symptoms as you move forward in your rehabilitation plan.

Sub-Acute Detox

Sub-acute detox for alcohol and drug addiction is a less-intensive level of care, providing individual treatment that is customized to your needs so that you are not prescribed unnecessary medications or treatments. In a sub-acute detox center, Houston residents will still receive care from qualified doctors and nurses, with therapy, holistic care, and medications if needed to keep them comfortable and achieve positive recovery results without requiring 24-hour supervision.
