Our detox success stories

What Is A Medical Drug Detox?

During a drug detox you will be weaned off the drug your body is dependent on, or, alternatively prescribed a substitute medication that will be reduced over time. This process is carried out until your body is clear of the drug and withdrawal symptoms cease to be uncomfortable or life-threatening.

What Happens During a Drug Detox?

During a drug detox you will be weaned off the drug your body is dependent on, or, alternatively prescribed a substitute medication that will be reduced over time. This process is carried out until your body is clear of the drug and withdrawal symptoms cease to be uncomfortable or life-threatening.

How Long Does A Drug Detox Take?

Drug detoxes can vary considerably in the length of time. The length of time your detox lasts will depend on a number of important factors that should only be assessed by a qualified physician or addiction specialist. This is applicable whether the drug you are addicted to is illicit, prescribed, over the counter, or legal.

The following should be taken into account when considering how long a drug detox will take:

  • The length of time you have been taking the drug and the length of time you have been physically dependent
  • The type of drug and what’s its function is
  • The possible dangers of withdrawal
  • Your current mental and physical health
  • Other medications or drugs you may be taking
  • You medical history
  • The levels of support you have in place during your drug detox

Do Drug Detox Medications Have Side Effects?

Drug detox medications can have side effects which commonly include drowsiness, temporary forgetfulness, and lack of appetite.

However, the side effects of drug detox medications far outweigh drug withdrawal symptoms, which can be notoriously unpleasant. Drug detox medications also greatly minimise the more harmful effects of quitting drugs.

If you undergo a drug detox with the assistance of a prescribed detox medication and with medical supervision, you are far more likely to complete the detox successfully without suffering complications or severe side effects.
