Heroin detox has some common withdrawal symptoms that may or may not include agitation, anxiety, severe muscle cramping or pain, sweats, chills, fatigue, inability to sleep, nausea, vomiting and hallucinations. Some people also experience depression, high blood pressure, and impaired respiration. Most people experience constant cravings. Medical detox can ease your symptoms through the use of medication assisted treatment (MAT) which they offer.

Alcohol detox often comes with unpleasant symptoms such as anxiety, chills, sweating, vomiting, nausea, and severe cravings. The worst withdrawal symptoms are usually gone in 10 days, though cravings sometimes persist for a few weeks. MAT is also used with alcohol detox if appropriate.

While in the detox program, you’ll work on a treatment plan that’s tailored to your needs. Past trauma and co-occurring disorders such as depression or anxiety help shape your plan. Once you’ve rid your body of all toxic substances, you’ll be ready to move on to the next step in your recovery journey.
