Almost all drugs of abuse have some withdrawal symptoms, especially if an individual who uses the drug tries to stop abruptly. This is particularly true if the person has been using the drug over a long period of time or at high amounts. Some drugs are easier to withdraw from the others.
Drug withdrawal treatments can be categorized as either inpatient or outpatient. Inpatient treatment has to do with the need to withdraw from a drug in the supervised setting, such as a hospital, because outpatient treatment may not be safe for the person. This can because of the person’s age, or if they have a severe medical problem. Other withdrawal treatments may be provided safely on an outpatient basis.
There is an effective withdrawal treatment for somebody trying to abstain from opiates. This medication can be administered both in the hospital and as an outpatient. It’s a medication also used for high blood pressure. Other sorts of treatments involve having the person slowly taper off the drug of abuse, in a controlled way.
