Understanding Prescription Drug Detox and Withdrawal Symptoms

Detoxing from prescription drugs is a crucial first step toward reclaiming your health and life. However, withdrawal symptoms can make this process difficult without the right support. At Clear Path Recovery, we provide medically supervised detox programs designed to help you safely navigate withdrawal and begin your path to recovery.

What Is Prescription Drug Detox?

Prescription drug detox involves clearing your body of medications that have been misused or taken longer than prescribed, including opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, and other controlled substances. During detox, your body adjusts to functioning without these drugs, which can trigger withdrawal symptoms.

Common Withdrawal Symptoms from Prescription Drugs

Withdrawal symptoms vary depending on the type of medication, the dosage, and how long you have been using. Common symptoms include:

Opioids (e.g., oxycodone, hydrocodone):

  • • Muscle aches and cramps
  • • Sweating and chills
  • • Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
  • • Anxiety and agitation
  • • Insomnia and fatigue
  • • Intense drug cravings

Benzodiazepines (e.g., Xanax, Valium):

  • • Anxiety and panic attacks
  • • Irritability and mood swings
  • • Tremors and muscle spasms
  • • Difficulty sleeping
  • • Seizures (in severe cases)
  • • Confusion or memory problems

Stimulants (e.g., Adderall, Ritalin):

  • • Fatigue and exhaustion
  • • Depression and mood swings
  • • Increased appetite
  • • Difficulty concentrating
  • • Strong cravings
