Opioids are psychoactive substances that include heroin, codeine, hydromorphone hydrochloride, morphine, oxycontin, and methadone. Chronic users of these drugs can develop an incapacitating form of dependence. Opiate or opioid detox involves withdrawal symptoms that are curable but, dangerous if not taken care of properly.

When detoxing from opioids including oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, and morphine, substance abusers experience highly uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. The length of time it takes to detox from opioids depends on drug intake and the level of dependence. Some effects of withdrawal can result in serious health complications.

Opioid withdrawal is a complex process. It includes both cognitive and physical symptoms that need to be addressed. Sometimes people attempt to rely on home remedies such as detoxing kits and detox drinks for opioid withdrawal. They often voluntarily switch to a modern and medically supervised opioid detox treatment. There are several ways to safely detox from opiates and experience little to no withdrawal symptoms. For instance, some complementary therapies, such as yoga, equine therapy, and earthing therapy, can make symptoms less severe and shorten the withdrawal process.
