Heroin withdrawal usually involves flu-like symptoms such as chills, nausea, and vomiting. The discomfort can be intense, which is why it’s always best to detox at a medical detox center like Muse. We provide round the clock monitoring by clinical staff to ensure your safety and comfort are maintained at all times. We also offer prescription medications and treatments that can greatly reduce these unpleasant withdrawal symptoms and ensure your safety throughout the process. Although the worst symptoms dissipate by the end of the detox phase, some symptoms like insomnia, cravings, and anxiety may continue to occur for months. Fortunately, there are also medications designed to treat these more long-term symptoms.
