Struggling with a drug addiction can feel all-consuming. Yet, help is available. The very first step toward your recovery involves drug detoxification. This means eliminating all abused substances from your body to begin treatment and overcome addiction.

However, safe drug detoxification requires round-the-clock medical supervision. The body’s adjustment to functioning without these substances can trigger various withdrawal symptoms—including anxiety, seizures, and respiratory distress. These symptoms can escalate and may become life-threatening without proper care.

What is a Drug Detox?

Drug detox is the medically supervised process of removing drugs from your system while managing withdrawal symptoms. This first step breaks physical drug dependence and prepares you for further treatment.

Drug withdrawal symptoms vary based on the substance used and how long you’ve been using it. You might experience:

  • Nausea
  • Sweating
  • Tremors
  • Intense cravings
  • Anxiety
  • Insomnia
  • Irritability
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Shaking

In severe cases, seizures, hallucinations, or heart problems may occur—indicating the need for medical supervision and care. Proper medical care further helps significantly reduce your risk of relapse.

United Recovery Project provides 24-7 medical supervision during detox. Our team monitors your condition, manages symptoms, and responds immediately to complications. Each patient receives a personalized plan that includes:

  • Continuous medical monitoring
  • Medication management
  • Nutritional support
  • Stress management techniques

What to Expect During Detox

Reaching out for help can feel daunting. However, knowing what to expect can help alleviate any worries or concerns. Here’s a general timeline of what you can expect during your detox program:

Days 1-2

For drug detoxification, withdrawal symptoms can begin within mere hours of stopping drug use. Early symptoms may include anxiety, irritability, nausea, sweating, or restlessness. However, your exact symptoms may vary depending on the specific drug used. Some may experience more severe symptoms, such as tremors or a rapid heart rate. With United Recovery Project, our team ensures all these symptoms are managed in the best way possible by providing 24-7 monitoring and addressing them as they arise.

Days 3-7

This is often the most challenging part of the detoxification process. Many find their symptoms often peak between day three and seven. This may mean you experience intense cravings or insomnia. Some may experience hallucinations or seizures, which demonstrates the importance of having medical professionals nearby to help. As this week continues, symptoms often gradually subside, and you may begin to stabilize. Again, however, exact timelines may vary depending on the type of drug and the amount used.

Days 8+

By day eight, you will likely feel better. This is where we begin to explore options for rehabilitation and aftercare. While this detoxification has started the process, your body and mind are still healing. With the United Recovery Project, we ensure each individual’s needs are addressed. This includes the appropriate rehab program or aftercare following your drug detox.
