Alcohol and Drug Detoxification Services

Withdrawal from any drug that has built up in the body past the point of tolerance has many non-forgiving side effects. The symptoms that are to be expected in the very early stages of withdrawal are often compared to the flu, or a bad cold.

 

The symptoms usually begin between the 36th and 48th hour of withdrawal from narcotics, opiate-based drugs, heroin, morphine and prescription painkillers as well as alcohol, and are most often described as extreme- may be prefaced by feelings or thoughts of wanting to die or almost uncontrollable cravings for the substance that caused withdrawal symptoms in the first place.

 

Needless to say, the pain from detoxification can be severe. Later stage detox symptoms can include:

 

    Cold Sweats
  • Night Sweats
  • Restlessness, irritability
  • Rage, feelings of anger
  • Nausea, vomiting
  • Back spasms
    Leg Kicks
  • Extreme Muscle Cramps
    Suicidal or homicidal ideation

Stereotypical beliefs are that Heroin or other IV drug detox is the most dangerous. The truth is that while you may want to die while detoxing from Heroin, the odds are that you won't. Alcohol is another story completely...

When a heavy or regular drinker suddenly stops drinking alcohol, the body goes into "shock" and the withdrawal effects may include:

 

Nausea and Vomiting

Panic and Anxiety

Seeing and/or hearing things

Convulsions or seizures

Delirium Tremens (D.Ts)

Heart failure (Alcoholic death)

 

For a long-time regular drinker, or a binge drinker, detox from alcohol without the help of a detox facility or supervision from a doctor is extremely dangerous, and should not be attempted under any circumstances.
