Quitting codeine after addiction begins is difficult. Codeine changes how the brain feels pleasure and transmits signals, leading to your addiction. When you decide it is time to stop your cycle of codeine abuse, these changes must reverse. These changes to normal functioning without your drug produce the ill symptoms of withdrawal, for which you need medically supervised treatment at a codeine detox center.
Signs of Codeine Withdrawal
Withdrawal symptoms from codeine prove you are physically dependent on the drug. Your drug dependence began with tolerance when you started needing more and more codeine to feel the same effects. Whether you started using codeine for medical reasons or recreationally, abusing it set off a series of physical changes in your body and brain. Your body and brain must now reverse the changes to function normally without the drug. Withdrawal from codeine causes many uncomfortable effects, including:
- Irritability and sleep problems
- Body aches and accelerated heartbeat
- Lost appetite
- Chills and goosebumps
- Abdominal cramps and diarrhea
The intensity, length, and type of symptoms you experience differ from others’ codeine withdrawal. Your drug history, dose amount, the frequency of use, health, mental condition, age, gender, weight and other factors play a role in your withdrawal. These factors also determine how long your codeine addiction and withdrawal take to run its course.
Why You Need a High-Quality Codeine Detox Center
Many people choose to detox at home. But this usually takes longer than detox in a licensed, supervised detox program. It also means you suffer the worst symptoms of withdrawal without relief provided by trained professionals. Medical codeine detox is the safest way to withdraw. Experts in addiction help you manage your symptoms, support you from the beginning to the end of the process, and ensure your comfort, safety, and security throughout.
These professionals know how to help you feel better and also know what to expect from codeine detox. If medications provide relief for symptoms, these experts know what to provide and how to appropriately medicate your condition. Some people relapse on codeine during withdrawal. This is incredibly dangerous and possibly fatal. Most deaths occur when people already in the process of withdrawal use their former dose of codeine. They do this without realizing their body is no longer tolerant and can’t handle the amount. Safety and security of a licensed and supervised detox facility help you avoid relapse and breakthrough from active addiction to early recovery. You receive therapies you need to understand why you abused drugs in the first place. If you have co-occurring disorders, then you will benefit from dual diagnosis treatment. Achieving all of these things at once means so much for your recovery.
