Opiates Detox at Home
Opiates
are a class of narcotic drugs derived from the opium poppy. They
include heroin and morphine as well as a wide range of prescription
painkillers such as hydrocodone (Vicodin, Lortab, etc.) and oxycodone
(Oxycontin, Percocet, etc.).
Detoxing from opiates such as prescription painkillers can be a very difficult thing to do on your own. Many people who become dependent on opiates continue taking the drugs simply to avoid the withdrawal symptoms, whether they are abusing the drugs or have just developed a tolerance from legitimate prescriptions. In either case, we can help make an at-home detox from opiates easier to deal with.

Opiate withdrawal symptoms
Withdrawal from opiates can sometimes include very heavy symptoms such as:
Agitation, anxiety, muscle cramps, aches and pains, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, sleeplessness or insomnia, runny nose, dilated pupils, sweating and goose bumps.
The severity of these withdrawal symptoms can vary depending on the amount and frequency of opiates taken compared with an individual's physical condition. Opiate withdrawal is very rarely, if ever life-threatening but can be extremely uncomfortable. Find out how you can alleviate some withdrawal symptoms through an assisted opiate detox instead of using long-term replacement drugs for maintenance and get help for prescription painkiller addiction.
