1(800) 615-1067Quitting drugs “cold turkey” is not recommended for everyone and should only be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Withdrawal symptoms can vary in intensity and duration depending on the type of drug, the length and severity of use, and the individual’s health and medical history. Withdrawal from certain drugs, such as alcohol and benzodiazepines, can be life-threatening and require medical attention.
If you want to quit drugs, it’s best to seek professional help from a healthcare provider or addiction specialist. They can assess your situation, create a personalized treatment plan, and provide support and resources to help you successfully quit. Treatment options may include medication-assisted treatment, counseling, behavioral therapy, and support groups.
