Addiction Withdrawal Symptoms

Addiction withdrawal symptoms can be physical or emotional, depending upon the drug being used. For example, heroin withdrawal is primarily physical, where cocaine withdrawal is emotional or psychological. Many people believe they can handle addiction withdrawal on their own. Rarely is anyone successful when trying to deal with addiction withdrawal on their own. The intense cravings or painful physical symptoms they experience should be monitored by a medical specialist by entering a medical detox.

Addiction withdrawal symptoms can be managed and managed well in an inpatient medical detox. In a first class detox, the physician will evaluate your detox needs and design an individualized medication protocol to reduce and in some cases, eliminate your addiction withdrawal symptoms. As your addiction withdrawal symptoms begin to lessen, the physician will adjust your medication to reflect your progress.

Addiction Withdrawal and Relapse

Addiction withdrawal, if not properly treated, can be the first trigger in a person's relapse. In far too many cases, patients are discharged from detox before their addiction withdrawal symptoms have been resolved; cravings are still present along with a myriad of other symptoms.

When dealing with the addiction withdrawal symptoms associated with benzodiazepines, the withdrawal symptoms could last upwards of two weeks, compared to alcohol, which may be three to five days. This is a reason why the physician managing the detox needs to be certified by the American Society of Addiction Medicine, so they understand addiction and the dynamics that accompany withdrawal.

Most individuals dealing with an addiction and are facing addiction withdrawal are probably candidates for ongoing rehab. For this reason, one of the primary focuses for the detox staff is evaluating the patient regarding their need for ongoing care.
