It’s Time to Start Your Recovery

Taking the first step toward your future will empower your journey to wellness.

The Goal of Detox at The Ho Tai Way – Recovery for Women

In order to begin your recovery work, you need to be alert, aware, and no longer under the immediate influence of drugs or alcohol.

The first step is detox, the process of ridding the body of toxins from drugs and alcohol.

Once your head begins to clear, you will be able to start envisioning the future again—a future free of substances. Here, you can move forward in rebuilding your life and taking back control while understanding and accepting how you got there. Only then will you be truly ready to heal from addiction.

What to Expect During Detox

The detox process is different for everyone and every situation. As your body cleanses, the early stages of withdrawal take place. The length of this process can increase depending on the length, amount, frequency, and severity of substance use. For addictions to multiple substances, withdrawal may be more intense or lasts longer in duration.

Withdrawal times are approximate and vary from person to person, but here are some general guidelines:

Cocaine

Withdrawal symptoms often appear as depression and restlessness that lasts approximately 7-10 days.

Alcohol

Withdrawal can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks and can include nausea, tremors, and even seizures.

Heroin and other opiates

Symptoms of withdrawal are usually flu-like symptoms that last 5-7 days.

Prescription medications such as Vicodin, Oxycodone, and Hydrocodone

These opiate medications are typically prescribed for pain management. Symptoms of withdrawal from pain medications usually feel like intense flu symptoms and seem to peak at about 3-4 days and last about 7-8 days.

Benziodiazepines like Xanax, Librium, and Valium

Withdrawal symptoms—lasting weeks or even months—appear as increased anxiety and can be accompanied by seizures.

Methamphetamine

Patients report experiencing fatigue, debilitating depression, and lack of appetite when withdrawal kicks in. The entire withdrawal period can take months, but we can ease you through the initial phase and give you the tools to deal with the secondary stages of depression.

Due to potentially life-threatening complications like seizures, medical supervision is critical for your health and safety. We can walk you through the detox process and help you manage your symptoms. We strive to make this period in your recovery comfortable, safe, and as simple as possible so that you can move to the next stage – healing.
