Opioids create a powerful sense of relaxation and euphoria. They dull pain and trigger the brain’s reward system. But over time, the brain becomes dependent, and the same dose produces less effect — leading to increased use and risk of overdose.
The effects of opioids vary depending on the type and dosage. Short-acting opioids like heroin last 4–6 hours, while long-acting opioids like methadone or extended-release oxycodone can last 12–24 hours.

The opioid withdrawal timeline refers to the physical and psychological symptoms that emerge after stopping opioids. Withdrawal typically begins within 8 to 24 hours after the last dose and can last up to 10 days or longer, depending on the specific opioid, dosage, and length of use.
Here’s a general breakdown of what to expect:
Anxiety, restlessness, and agitation
Muscle aches and joint pain
Insomnia or difficulty sleeping
Watery eyes, runny nose, yawning
Intensified cravings for opioids
Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
Goosebumps, chills, and sweating
Rapid heartbeat and high blood pressure
Symptoms may peak and begin to subside
Fatigue, body aches, and emotional distress may continue
Hydration and nutrition become important for healing
Most acute symptoms resolve for many individuals
Mood swings, anxiety, and sleep issues may linger
Mental clarity and motivation begin to return
The detox timeline is the medically supervised process of clearing opioids from your system safely. While similar to withdrawal, detox also includes comfort medications, emotional support, hydration therapy, and round-the-clock clinical care.
Day 1–2: Medical intake, assessment, and the start of withdrawal; medications provided to ease discomfort
Day 3–5: Symptoms peak and are managed by our medical team; focus on stabilization
Day 5–7: Symptoms begin to subside; clients regain strength and clarity
Post-Detox: Aftercare planning begins; clients transition to residential or outpatient care
Note: Some clients experience PAWS (post-acute withdrawal syndrome) — lingering symptoms like anxiety, low energy, or sleep disruption. Continued care is essential for maintaining long-term sobriety.
You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. Our team is here to listen, answer your questions, and help you understand what to expect. No pressure. Just support.
