Call (888) 984-9911

Opioid withdrawal is rarely fatal on its own, but it is intensely uncomfortable, and the real danger comes afterward. Once detox lowers tolerance, a return to a previous dose can cause a fatal overdose, which is why medication and a warm handoff to ongoing care matter.

In San Marcos, opioid detox is increasingly paired with medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) such as buprenorphine or methadone, which ease withdrawal and sharply cut relapse and overdose risk. Of San Marcos's 3 detox centers, 3 report opioid detox services.

Opioid detox: common questions

How long does opioid withdrawal last?

For short acting opioids, acute symptoms run 4 to 10 days. Longer acting ones can stretch out further, and cravings can persist beyond the acute phase.

Is medication used during opioid detox?

Often yes. Buprenorphine or methadone (MOUD) reduce withdrawal severity and relapse risk. Ask any program whether they offer it.

Why is overdose risk higher right after detox?

Detox lowers your tolerance, so a dose that felt normal before can be fatal afterward. This is why continued treatment after detox is critical.
