What is Detox?

Detoxification is the process of ridding the body of harmful toxins and substances.[1] If you’ve developed a physical or psychological dependence on alcohol, prescription medications, or illicit substances, there may be uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms during this time.

Detox treatment helps alleviate and manage symptoms as your body wipes the slate clean. With medical oversight and support, negative reactions can be mitigated, and the overall experience will be more positive. This process lays the foundation for success in ongoing treatment.

Substances that can be addressed in detox include:

  • Crack
  • Methamphetamine
  • Benzodiazepines
  • Kratom
  • Club Drugs
  • Heroin
  • Prescription Drugs
  • Fentanyl
  • Pain Killers
  • Stimulants
  • Marijuana
  • Barbiturate
  • Suboxone
  • Adderall
  • Sleeping Pills
  • Inhalants
  • Cocaine
  • Alcoholism

Inpatient Detox vs. Outpatient Detox

Both treatment options can be successfully completed and have been scientifically determined to offer similar outcomes.[2] The severity of substance use, medical history, co-occurring disorders, cost and insurance, and lifestyle needs will determine which level of care is best for you.

In-patient detox is a medically monitored environment with 24/7 support and unrestricted access to care. While this option isn’t possible for everyone, either due to a slightly higher cost or significant time commitment, it allows for a completely focused environment where you can dedicate all your energy to recovering.

Treatment begins as soon as you check into the facility. The medication-assisted inpatient treatment process will help to reduce the effects of withdrawal and allow you to experience a greater degree of comfort during detoxification.

Common Withdrawal Symptoms During Detox

Withdrawal symptoms vary depending on the substance, the last use, and dosage amounts. The following are common symptoms that are often associated with several substances,  including benzodiazepines, alcohol, opioids, inhalants, stimulants, and cannabis:[3]

  • Anxiousness
  • Insomnia
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Restlessness, agitation, and irritability
  • Tension and muscle aches
  • Flu-like symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, etc.)
  • Depression
  • Body shakes or tremors

Frequently Asked Questions About Detox

Depending on the substance in question, it’s possible. However, this should never be done without medical advice, as some substances are associated with life-threatening withdrawal symptoms. Consult your primary healthcare provider before attempting to detox at home.

How much does detox cost?

Your individualized treatment plan, which recommends the level of care and specific treatments, and your insurance coverage will determine the cost. Verify your insurance coverage here.

How long does detox take?

The average timeline for detox is only three to ten days but this could be influenced in one direction or another based on your frequency of use, the substance, overall health, mental health, and more.
