Call (888) 984-9911Opioid 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 Louisville, 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 Louisville's 9 detox centers, 9 report opioid detox services.
