Withdrawal
What Causes Drug and Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms?
Withdrawal symptoms occur when the brain and body have become dependent on a substance, and it is suddenly reduced or stopped. Drugs and alcohol alter the brain’s chemical balance, and withdrawal happens as the body tries to regain equilibrium, leading to symptoms like nausea, anxiety, sweating, and more.
Dependence vs. Addiction (What's the Difference?)
Dependence refers to the physical need for a substance, where the body experiences withdrawal symptoms without it. Addiction, on the other hand, includes both physical dependence and a psychological compulsion to seek out and use the substance, despite harmful consequences.
How Long Do Drug Withdrawal Symptoms Last?
The duration of withdrawal varies depending on the substance used and the individual’s physical health. Typically, withdrawal symptoms begin within hours to a day after stopping use, peak around 2-3 days, and can last up to a week or more. However, some symptoms, like cravings or anxiety, can persist for months.
Opioid Withdrawal Timelines
Opioid withdrawal symptoms generally start 6-12 hours after the last dose for short-acting opioids, peaking at 72 hours. Symptoms like sweating, muscle aches, and nausea can last up to a week, but psychological symptoms may persist longer.
Depressant Withdrawal Timelines
For substances like alcohol or benzodiazepines, withdrawal can begin within 6-24 hours after the last use. Severe symptoms like seizures can occur within the first 72 hours, with the acute phase typically lasting around 5-7 days. Longer-term symptoms, such as insomnia and anxiety, can last weeks or months.
Stimulant Withdrawal Timelines
Prescription/OTC Withdrawal Timelines
Withdrawal from prescription or over-the-counter medications varies based on the drug type. For most prescription opioids or benzodiazepines, withdrawal lasts around 1-2 weeks, while for other medications, the timeline can be shorter or longer. It’s important to consult a medical professional for guidance during withdrawal.
