Dilaudid detox can be painful because the drug falls into the opiate category, causing both long-term mental and physical addiction.
DILAUDID ® (hydromorphone hydrochloride)
Dilaudid is the trade name for the compound hydromorphone hydrochloride. Also, it’s a potent synthetic Schedule II narcotic opioid, considered to be 6 to 9 times stronger than morphine. Dilaudid attaches to the receptor site, central nervous system, and GI tract to control pain. Besides, the drug also reacts to the pleasure center, providing the user with euphoric feelings. This euphoric feeling may cause many individuals initially to develop both a physical and psychological Diuladid addiction in as little as a few weeks. Dilaudid Rapid Detox can make the detoxification phase comfortable and successful.
According to SAMHSA of the many individuals who report misusing or abusing prescription drugs, 261,000 people, which is a small number, said to be misusing hydromorphone based drugs. Hydromorphone is the active substance in Dilaudid. Nonetheless, the use of this drug has had serious and even fatal consequences for many. 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.
What is a Dilaudid Withdrawal?
Once users develop a tolerance, they might find that they need higher and higher doses of the drug to achieve the same effects. Eventually, this same individual might attempt to doctor shop or purchase Dilaudid on the internet or even the streets. On the streets, users may call hydromorphone “Big D,” “M-80’s,” and “Peaches.” It is effortless for an individual to develop a Dilaudid addiction. When an individual who has been using for an extended period of time abruptly discontinues or decreases use, withdrawal symptoms may set in. Furthermore, signs of Dilaudid withdrawal may be incredibly unpleasant and occur on a spectrum. This means that symptoms of withdrawal may be more severe in some individuals than others.
People who have become physically dependent on Dilaudid may experience uncomfortable symptoms of withdrawal when they quit taking the drug. This phenomenon is the body’s response to not receiving its standard dose.
Withdrawal Timeline
Because of the drug’s short half-life, individuals may begin to experience withdrawal symptoms within 4 to 8 hours after the last dosage. These symptoms often include mild nausea, restlessness, irritability, anxiety, fever, sweating, and cravings
Withdrawal continues to progress and usually peaks within 12-48 hours. In many cases, people may have severely distressing symptoms for up to five days. At that point, the most common symptoms are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, chills, muscle spasms, aches and pains, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and intense drug cravings. Some individuals might become confused, depressed, and in extreme cases even suicidal.
When the symptoms are at their worst, individuals are prone to relapse and restart their drug use. Sometimes, due to the feeling of failure and hopelessness, individuals might use higher doses than usual. Furthermore, relapse put people at a much higher risk for overdose.
Some may overcome the physical symptoms within 5-7 days. However, emotional problems can go last weeks and even months. Issues such as anxiety, depression and having occasional cravings, can be minimized when adequately treated by a specialized professional.
