Facts

  • Inhalants are so popular among recreational drug users because they are legal, cheap, and often not really viewed as being a "drug".

  • Major opiate or synthetic opioid drug withdrawal symptoms reach their peak within 24 to 48 hours after the last dose and subside after about a week.
  • Sudden cessation of use of methadone at high doses can result in withdrawal symptoms described as "the worst withdrawal imaginable," and can last from weeks to months.

Booneville - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the particular person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can offer detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any complications are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
