How Long Does It Take to Detox from Alcohol?

How Long Does It Take to Detox from Meth?

Typically, meth withdrawal symptoms begin about 24 hours after the last use. Symptoms can continue for several days or weeks. Acute symptoms generally begin to decline after around seven days.

How Long Does It Take to Detox from Heroin?

Heroin detox differs for each person, but generally, withdrawal symptoms begin eight to 24 hours after the last use and peak around day five.

What Are the Symptoms of Detoxing?

The symptoms of detoxing depend on what substance(s) a person has been using as well as the severity of their addiction. Other factors, such as co-occurring mental or physical health conditions, can also play a role. Some of the most common withdrawal symptoms include: Fever, nausea, and other flu-like symptoms Shaking Depression Anxiety Irritability Tremors Headache and body aches Insomnia and restlessness Fatigue While most people experience only mild to moderate physical symptoms, severe withdrawal symptoms, such as seizure, stroke, and delirium tremens, are possible, especially for clients with severe addictions and a long history of substance use. It is not always possible to predict who will experience severe symptoms, which is why having 24-hour access to skilled medical care is important. At our medically supervised detox in Los Angeles, detox symptoms are managed with medication and other treatments.

What Is Involved in Detoxification of Drugs?

The process of withdrawal at our Tarzana detox involves three main steps. The first step is a complete health evaluation. Once we understand your health conditions and substance use history, we can create an effective treatment plan. The second step is stabilization. This involves the management of acute withdrawal symptoms to keep clients safe from possible severe side effects and to keep them as comfortable as possible. The last stage of detox is preparing clients to begin their treatment program.

Is medication-assisted treatment (MAT) available?

Yes, our team offers evidence-based MAT options to manage withdrawal symptoms safely and comfortably to those who qualify.

At Journey Hillside, we provide every client with a personalized treatment plan that meets their individual needs.
