How Long Do Withdrawals Last?

Withdrawals are the variety of symptoms that occur when a person who is addicted to substances stops using those drugs or alcohol. The symptoms can vary from mild like sweating and nausea to extremely dangerous, like seizure, stroke and even death. The duration or length of withdrawal symptoms also vary depending on the substance use, the length of use (if prolonged use), the frequency and dosage. Also, some people are addicted to more than one substance, so it can lengthen their withdrawal. Some people may only experience withdrawals for a few days, others weeks or longer.

If you are a prolonged abuser of alcohol or benzos, it is recommended to not stop using immediately until you are in a medically managed detoxification facility. These two substances have severe and potentially deadly withdrawal side effects.

Consider traveling for your detoxification and rehab treatment. Traveling to another city can get you away from negative influences like your dealer or the boss who always makes you want to get high. Traveling to another city or state for treatment is an effective way to start your rehab and get back to a healthy, drug-free life.
