Many addicts fear drug withdrawals, but withdrawals can and do happen as a part of detox. With medically monitored detox in Gilman, patients can safely detox without many of the uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms associated with detoxification. We identify common symptoms of withdrawal and how they can be treated.
Everyone’s experiences with drug withdrawal symptoms will vary depending on factors such as age, types of drugs used, duration of use, and overall health. Common drug withdrawal symptoms include:
Alcohol withdrawals are especially dangerous, with alcohol withdrawal symptoms ranging from discomfort to life-threatening. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms include:
Many of the withdrawal symptoms are similar to signs of drug overdose, which is why it’s crucial to detox with the guidance of medical professionals. Withdrawals can vary from mild discomfort to a medical emergency, and having medical support on hand can make the process far safer for patients.
Following successful detoxification, patients will begin their next stage of treatment. Typically this is either a partial hospitalization program or inpatient program. We offer both options at Banyan Heartland. Each treatment path is designed to help patients develop the skills they need to establish and maintain long-term sobriety. Following inpatient treatment, patients progress to the following steps of care, including IOP or OP programs followed by alumni care.
