Detox comes with a variety of withdrawal symptoms that vary depending on the individual, the substance to which you are addicted, and the level of your addiction. See below for the types of addiction we treat, along with more information about the withdrawal symptoms for each.

Medications like buprenorphine can drastically reduce the withdrawal symptoms from opioid withdrawal, for instance, while medication assisted treatment can keep otherwise life-threatening withdrawal symptoms from alcohol or benzodiazepines at bay.

Which organ is involved in the detoxification of drugs and alcohol?
The liver is the primary organ responsible for the detoxification of the body. It removes toxins from the bloodstream, metabolizes drugs and alcohol into nontoxic compounds, and carries away waste products.
What does detoxing feel like?
The withdrawal effects of different drugs vary. People often compare the effects of opioid withdrawal to an intense flu; alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can include tremors, sweats, and hallucinations; and stimulant withdrawal often parallels severe depression and anxiety. Withdrawing from any drug often includes intense drug cravings as well.
Can I Detox in 24 hours?
Detoxification typically takes between 3-7 days. This can vary depending on the quantity of substances taken, the duration of use, and factors such as your age or weight, but a 24-hour detox is extremely unlikely.
Is detoxing from home safe?
Many drugs are unsafe to detox from without the help of medical professionals, including alcohol, benzodiazepines, or barbiturates. But you can detox safely from home with the help of a medical in-home detox team, who can provide targeted medications and treatments to reduce your withdrawal symptoms.
What should I take to detox?
Have available any medications that you’re currently taking, as well as any relevant medical information that may help your provider determine a treatment plan. Wearing comfortable clothing is also advised – as well as having available anything to occupy your time, such as a book or journal.
