Overcoming the withdrawals associated with drug & alcohol abuse is far from easy. In fact, the symptoms from alcohol withdrawal can be more intense than the withdrawal from drugs like heroin and prescription painkillers. Anyone who is struggling should receive professional help. Attempting to detox oneself at home is very dangerous and extremely painful. When an at-home detox is attempted, one’s chances of successfully overcoming the symptoms are lowered substantially.

At Midwest Detox, we administer medications to help minimize the withdrawal pains while keeping the struggling individual safe.

We understand what it takes to overcome the withdrawals and cravings that occur during a detox. Our staff is made up of substance abuse and medical professionals who will help those struggling through this difficult time with medically supervised detox. Ensuring every client’s comfort and safety while at our medical detox center is our priority.

These mild symptoms typically appear within a few hours of taking the last drink.

• Abdominal Pain
• Tremors
• Diarrhea
• Mild Sweating
• Nausea & Vomiting

Followed by much more serious conditions, usually within 24-48 hours.

• Rapid Heartbeat & High Blood-Pressure
• Uncontrollable Sweating
• Depression & Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Hallucinations (known as Delirium Tremens.)

In addition to the intense discomfort, these conditions can be life-threatening if not properly monitored.
