Farmington Hills Cocaine Detox

Michigan Detoxification Center

Cocaine is one of the most addictive stimulant drugs in the world today. Cocaine clears itself from the body relatively quickly, with most of its traces gone after only 24 hours. As a result, however, the withdrawal symptoms are very potent and can be felt within just three days of stopping. Thankfully, these withdrawal symptoms usually diminish after three to five days, but they have been known to last weeks for some people. Meanwhile, cravings for cocaine can last for six months or more after you stop using.

Quitting cocaine is difficult but important. You do not have to go through this alone. Get professional helping managing withdrawal symptoms and dealing with cravings with the board certified Addiction Medicine specialist at Detox Expert in Michigan.

About the Detoxification Process

Though highly addictive, cocaine is considered one of the easier substances to detoxify from. It is rare that serious health complications arise from detoxification, but that does not mean help isn’t necessary. The biggest risk that occurs during cocaine withdrawal is the temptation to take the drug again. The longer and more frequently you take cocaine, the more dangerous it becomes. If you wait too long, the detoxification process will become more and more dangerous.

Some common cocaine withdrawal symptoms include:

• Irritability
• Difficulty concentrating
• Apathy and fatigue
• Nightmares
• Increased appetite
• Difficulty sleeping
• Dehydration
• Strong cravings

In severe cases, a person may experience serious health risks such as heart problems, seizures, and thoughts of suicide. While these are rare, it is important to have a medical professional monitor your detoxification so they can intervene if necessary.
