Why a Medically Managed Detox for Painkillers?
Our California addiction treatment programs are medically managed, and this is important when you’re dependent on pain relievers. Prescription painkillers can change your brain’s chemistry and affect you in many ways. When you attempt to stop taking them or even cut back on how much you take, your body can react with withdrawal symptoms.
Withdrawal symptoms for painkillers can range in severity, but even when they’re mild, they can be a major obstacle to receiving further treatment and achieving recovery. A professional painkillers detox dramatically increases the chances of successfully going through withdrawal so you can take the next steps in your recovery journey.
When you begin your recovery journey with a medically managed painkiller detox, you’re in a safe space with a care team that takes an individual and comprehensive approach. If appropriate for your needs, following a detox at our center, you can transition to our luxury residential inpatient rehab or another level of care.
Specific benefits of a professional detox for painkillers include:
- Safety: Safety is our main priority at our drug and alcohol detox. Many pain-relieving drugs, such as opioids, can lead to severe withdrawal symptoms. With medical supervision at Veritas Detox, you are in a safe environment where trained professionals monitor your condition and respond promptly if needed.
- Individualized care: Each person’s experience with painkiller addiction and withdrawal is unique. Attending a medically managed detox program helps your healthcare providers tailor your treatment plans to your needs. Factors like the dosage and type of drug, duration of use, and co-occurring psychiatric conditions all influence the detox process. Also considered are any previous detox experiences. Personalized care approaches maximize your comfort and are most effective while minimizing risks.
- Symptom management: When you’re under the care of medical professionals at our painkillers detox, they can provide medicines or interventions to alleviate your symptoms and manage complications. This could include medications to address specific symptoms or supportive therapies to promote overall well-being.
- Psychological support: During a medical detox, both your physical and psychological needs are considered. When you’re struggling with addiction, you might face a range of underlying mental health symptoms. Medical detox can provide emotional support and address the physical and psychological aspects of your symptoms.
- Transitioning to further treatment: Detox is the first step in the recovery process, but it’s not a standalone addiction treatment. A medically managed detox at Veritas Detox can help facilitate a seamless transition to ongoing addiction treatment and support services.

What to Expect in Painkiller Addiction Treatment: Painkiller Withdrawal Symptoms in Detox
When you go through detox, often the first step of painkiller addiction treatment, you may experience withdrawal symptoms. Symptoms of painkiller withdrawal vary depending on the type of drug, duration of use, dosage, health and physiology, and other factors.
Prescription painkillers that are commonly misused include opioids. These drugs are used for the management of pain and can lead to physical dependence as well as tolerance and addiction. There’s also a risk of overdose that stems from prescription opioid misuse.
Withdrawal occurs when you’ve been regularly taking a painkiller, and you suddenly stop or reduce your intake. As your brain and body attempt to adjust to the drug’s absence, withdrawal symptoms can manifest. Opioid (e.g., hydrocodone, morphine, oxycodone) withdrawal symptoms include:
- Flu-like symptoms like sweating, chills, and muscle aches
- Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Agitation and anxiety
- Yawning
- Insomnia
- Cravings
- Goosebumps
- Dilated pupils
- No Obligation When You Call
