Legal-high detox

Detoxing from legal-highs is crucial to breaking the addiction to various legal substances. Since legal-highs contain multiple compounds, the exact content of the chemicals within these substances is unknown. This makes it impossible to be sure of the precise dangers present when we take them. Therefore, a legal-high detox is necessary to prevent serious side effects, such as seizures or laying comatose, as well as chronic anxiety and depression.

If you think you may be addicted to legal-high substances, you can read about the signs and symptoms. Here, we take a closer look at the legal-highs detox process and how best to withdraw as safely and comfortably as possible.

What is legal-high detox?

Suppose you or a loved one is physically or psychologically dependent on a legal-high drug and wishes to stop taking it. In that case, you will need to go through a period of abstinence to cleanse your body of the substance. This is known as detoxification.

While legal-high detox does not address the full extent of the addiction, such as social factors and the psychological processes that led the addiction to develop, detox is a crucial first step on the road to recovery. It rids your body of any traces of the drug in your system. This process is fundamental as the only way we can truly be in the right mindset to consider treatment is if we are physically stable and strong enough to begin addressing the mental motivations behind our addiction.

If you believe you are ready to detox in a professional environment, you could consider spending some time in a specialised Legal-high rehabilitation centre, where you’ll receive expert-level care.

Withdrawal from legal-highs

One of the most challenging elements of the detox process comes with withdrawal and the unpleasant symptoms that you will go through while your body and mind begin to readjust without the substance. It is no easy feat, but withdrawal is essential to recovery.

Each person’s relationship with legal-highs is unique, and there are various substances, not to mention different dosages consumed by the user, making it impossible to outline the exact symptoms experienced during the withdrawal process. However, it is expected that withdrawal symptoms will begin to present themselves anywhere between an hour to a few days after your last dosage. As your body is weaning itself off the substance, you will likely start to experience extreme cravings. Withdrawal symptoms will then begin to intensify, and you may experience:

• Nausea
• Anxiety attacks
• Paranoia
• Sweating
• Mood swings
• Greatly disrupted sleep

Is it safe to detox from legal-highs at home?

While some people have opted to undergo the detoxification process at home, we strongly recommend that you consider inpatient rehab treatment as an alternative. Detox is far more comfortable in a facility with trained professionals, as they know which symptoms to look out for and what to expect. It can also be tough to kick a physical and mental habit in an environment that reminds you of those addictive behaviours, along with all the triggers that make staying sober all the more challenging.

In a detox facility, however, you will be surrounded by other individuals committed to recovery, providing you with the tools you need to see the other side of your addiction and come off these dangerous substances safely. At Primrose Lodge, we take every measure to ensure that you are as safe and well looked after as possible.
