At Pacific Breeze Recovery we are here to help alleviate those withdrawal symptoms where you can see that it is possible to get through withdrawals in a safe and monitored setting.
In the United States, we are actively in an epidemic of Fentanyl and Opioid abuse. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than 760,000 people have died since 1999 from a drug overdose. Nearly 75% of drug overdose deaths in 2020 involved an opioid. Many of us have been affected by losing a loved one due to opioid abuse or we know someone who is struggling today with the addiction. Is this someone you? We are here to help you immediately. Do not wait any longer, we are ready to help you or your loved one today.
Detox or detoxification is the first step in the recovery process when dealing with an opioid addiction.
This can be challenging due to the intense withdrawal symptoms that can follow when someone abruptly stops using opioids. During this time, your body begins to cleanse itself of all the drugs that a person has been using. This process can be extremely uncomfortable due to the body becoming dependent on opiates.
At Pacific Breeze Recovery our dedicated and knowledgeable staff are here to help you through the detox process. Going through the detox phase of opioid withdrawal can have dangerous symptoms, so it is crucial to have a treatment facility with medical professionals to help alleviate any such symptoms to avoid any serious, lasting health problems.
At Pacific Breeze Recovery our medical team is readily available right now to start your detox today and relieve you from your addiction to fentanyl or other opioids.
What are Opioids?
Opioids, also known as narcotics, belong to a class of drugs used to relieve pain. These medications work by interacting with your brain cells. Opioids are very potent and are meant for short-term use to manage acute pain. Opioids cause dopamine (a neurotransmitter in the brain) to be released in the brain. Dopamine contributes to feelings of pleasure and motivation. However, prolonged use can develop high tolerance and physical dependence, leading to withdrawal symptoms. These withdrawal symptoms can become extremely uncomfortable. Additionally, the misuse of opioids can have serious consequences.
If you or a loved one is struggling with an opioid addiction, Pacific Breeze Recovery is available 24/7 to provide you help TODAY!
How Long Does Detox Last when on Fentanyl or Any Opioids?
Detoxification (Detox) usually lasts between 5-10 days. It is not a long process; however, it can be extremely uncomfortable. Symptoms usually peak between 2-4 days. This is because the body has become chemically dependent on the drug(s). However, our medical team at Pacific Breeze Recovery is here to help manage your symptoms safely and appropriately to help alleviate the intensity of your withdrawal symptoms.
Common Withdrawal Symptoms from Fentanyl and Opioids:
- Anxiety
- Restlessness
- Insomnia
- Yawning
- Runny nose
- Watery eyes
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Body aches
- Hallucinations
- Seizures
- Fever
- Shaking
Any of these symptoms can start appearing 12 hours after you take the last dose of the drug. The severity of the symptoms you may experience depends on how long you’ve been using the drug(s), how long they stay in your system, and whether you quit “cold turkey” from the drug(s). At Pacific Breeze Recovery our Addictionologists will provide you with a medication regimen to help relieve you from these symptoms in a safe but effective manner.
If you or a loved one are experiencing any of the above or any other symptoms, please reach out to a medical professional.
After you successfully get through detox and your withdrawal symptoms become more manageable our team of professionals will continue to closely monitor you throughout your stay at Pacific Breeze Recovery.
Our Addictionologists and entire team work closely together to set up an individualized treatment plan necessary for the resident. Our compassionate staff understands how difficult this time can be both physically and mentally. Pacific Breeze Recovery strives for the success of those battling their opioid addiction by removing old habits, negative behaviors, and physical pain. At Pacific Breeze Recovery we have implemented a curriculum to set you up for success and regain your life back to where good decisions are made, good habits are formed and your health is back, both mentally and physically.
After the detox phase, the next couple of weeks become more manageable. You regain clarity and begin thinking logically. As your body starts to relearn its function without opioids, you gain control of your thoughts and emotions and begin to feel good again.
