WHAT TO EXPECT FROM WITHDRAWAL

Depending on the drug, withdrawal symptoms can appear a few hours after taking the last dose. Some may choose to go through withdrawal without assistance, but a trained medical expert can help ease the process. Withdrawal can be extremely uncomfortable, and support is highly recommended. Detoxing in a safe medical setting is the safest and smoothest method. It’s not an easy process, but people choose to begin their paths to recovery every day.
