How to Tell if You Need Medical Detox
The usage and withdrawal symptoms of each individual will determine if a medical detox is needed. With some drugs or heavy alcohol use, it is mandatory to undergo a hospital inpatient detox program. Some drugs do not require a medicated detox, but the list of the ones that do is much greater. Medical detox is recommended for most prescription medication dependencies.
Some other drugs that require medical detox are Heroin, Opioids, and Prescription drugs such as Xanax, Vicodin, Hydrocodone, and Oxycontin. If planning on detoxifying from psychiatric medications, consult your doctor before quitting cold turkey. Below we have listed common drugs that need a medical detox to ensure the safety of the individual coming off of these medications or drugs.
Withdrawal Timelines for Common Drugs and Alcohol
Withdrawal from drugs or alcohol starts as soon as the individual stops consuming the addictive substance. Different substances can have different timelines of withdrawal symptoms with many variables that can determine the extent of the withdrawal symptoms. Different variables can be the length of use, how often the usage is, and the amount of the substance that is normally consumed.Alcohol: Withdrawal from alcohol can start in as little as 8 hours from the last consumed drink, peaks around 24-48 hours, and can last for up to 10 days.
Heroin: Heroin withdrawal usually starts around 10-12 hours after the last dose and can last for up to a few months.
Prescription Medications: Depending on the medication withdrawal can start 1-4 days after the last dose and can last for months, and even years if not treated in a medical facility.
Prescription Opiates: Withdrawal starts 8-12 hours after the last dose and lasts up to 10 days if treated in a medical detox unit in Alaska.
Fentanyl: Fentanyl withdrawal symptoms can start in as little as 6-12 hours of the last dose with acute withdrawal symptoms at the worst between day 1 and day 3. Withdrawal can last for a week or more.
