You may be surprised to learn that opioids have been in existence for thousands of years. In the United States, opioids were widely used during the Civil War. Doctors were in short supply, and they desperately needed a way to give pain relief to soldiers who were waiting to be treated. Sadly, thousands of soldiers returned home after the war with an addiction to opioids.

The severity of opioid addiction became a serious topic of discussion during the 1900s. There was a rising, rising surge in doctors prescribing opioids to their patients for pain or other situations, which led to an uptick in addiction. Although the rate of prescribing opioids has gone up, down, then back up again, unfortunately, the consistency of opioid addiction continues to rise.

It’s critical not to overlook the importance of detoxing from opioids in a healthy manner. Within hours from the time you last consumed an opioid, your body will begin to experience withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms can include nausea, shakiness, and general physical discomfort. At times, symptoms can be substantially more severe and potentially deadly.  

You should never try to detox from opioids if you are not under trained medical professionals’ supervision. When you come to the Legacy Healing Center for detox, you can rest assured that you will be under the watchful eye of a member of our team around the clock.  

You can reach out to an intake specialist at any time to discuss the different aspects of detox.

How Long Does Rehab Last?  

The length of your stay at rehab is something that you will discuss with one of our counselors. We offer programs that are as short as 30 days up to 90 days. We understand that recovery is not a “one size fits all” process which is why we work with each patient to develop their own unique treatment plan that recognized their recovery goals.
