A Dilaudid detox can be painful because the drug falls into the opiate category, causing long-term mental and physical addiction. Medically managed treatment for dilaudid dependence can increase the patient’s chances of successfully completing detox.
Dilaudid is the trade name for the compound hydromorphone hydrochloride. It is a potent synthetic Schedule II narcotic opioid, considered to be six to nine times stronger than morphine. Dilaudid attaches to the brain’s receptor sites, central nervous system and GI tract to control pain. The drug also reacts to the pleasure center, providing the user with a sense of euphoria.
According to SAMHSA, of the many individuals who report misusing or abusing prescription drugs, 261,000 people report misusing hydromorphone-based drugs. Hydromorphone is the active substance in Dilaudid. Due to its potency, Dilaudid has been approved in lethal injections in federal executions. Thus, anyone abusing hydrocodone products is abusing a seriously dangerous substance. The use of this drug has had serious and even fatal consequences for many users.
People can develop a physical and psychological Dilaudid addiction in as little as a few weeks, particularly because of the euphoric feeling people can experience when using the drug. First, people using Dilaudid might develop a tolerance, meaning they might need increasing doses to achieve the same effects they experienced when they first began taking the drug. Eventually, this same individual might attempt to doctor shop or purchase Dilaudid on the internet or even the streets to satisfy their cravings. On the streets, hydromorphone is known as, “Big D,” “M-80s,” and “Peaches.”

Developing an addiction to Dilaudid is relatively effortless. When an individual who has been using the drug for an extended period of time abruptly discontinues or decreases use, withdrawal symptoms may set in. This phenomenon is the body’s response to not receiving its standard dose. Dilaudid withdrawal symptoms may be incredibly unpleasant and typically occur on a spectrum, so they can be more severe in some individuals than others.
Because of the drug’s short half-life, individuals may begin to experience withdrawal symptoms within four to eight hours after the last dose. These symptoms often include:
Withdrawal continues to progress and usually peaks within 12 to 48 hours. In many cases, people may have severely distressing symptoms for up to five days. The most common symptoms at this phase of withdrawal are:
Some individuals might become confused, depressed, and in extreme cases, even suicidal. When the symptoms are at their worst, individuals are prone to relapse. Sometimes, due to the feeling of failure and hopelessness, individuals might use higher doses than usual. Relapse puts people at a much higher risk of overdose.
Some people overcome the physical symptoms within five to seven days. Emotional problems may last weeks or even months, however. Issues such as anxiety, depression and having occasional cravings can be minimized when adequately treated by a specialized professional.
