Withdrawal

Chronic usage of drugs and alcohol will inevitably lead to some degree of tolerance. The body demands a higher dosage of the drug of choice in order to achieve the same level of euphoria. Conversely, if you abruptly stop using alcohol or drugs (known as detoxification) your body will react adversely because it craves the need to get high. These unpleasant symptoms of detoxification is known as withdrawal.

Managing Alcohol & Drug Withdrawal

Depending on the type of substance and quantities normally used, alcohol and drug withdrawal symptoms may range from mild to severe, and on occasion, be potentially life-threatening. Alcohol and drug withdrawals are generally complex and unpredictable, so if you are thinking of stopping, please seek medical advice and have a plan in place.

In preparing to cease substance use, you need to consider how to assess your current tolerance and how you will manage the detox and withdrawal phase.
