There is no way of knowing exactly what any individual's symptoms will be because there are so many factors that determine how the body will react to a specific drug's absence. However, some factors that determine drug withdrawal symptoms include:

  • Type of drug abused
  • Quantity of regular use
  • Physical health of the user
  • Length of time drug was used
  • Emotional dependence
  • Physical dependence
  • Psychological profile of the individual
  • Environmental concerns
  • Drug cravings during detox 

Drug withdrawal can be uncomfortable, but the right detox program can manage them effectively and in some cases even eliminate them completely. It is important to remember that drug detox is only the first part of addiction treatment. For long-term recovery, it will be necessary to immediately transition from drug detox to a drug rehab center.
