Heroin detox is paramount to a successful recovery. If heroin residuals continue to exist in the addict's body, cravings for heroin will arise and withdrawal symptoms can persist. The goal of heroin detox is to ultimately eliminate the drug, and all its metabolites from the body to increase the chance of a successful recovery.

Heroin detox aids in diminishing heroin withdrawal symptoms which can include: a runny nose, stomach cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, muscle cramps, shaking, chills or profuse sweating, goose flesh skin, insomnia, irritability, and jitteriness.

Heroin withdrawal symptoms are some of the nastiest an addict can experience compared to withdrawal from any other drug. The individual who has become physically as well as psychologically dependent on heroin will experience heroin withdrawal symptoms with an abrupt discontinuation of use or even a decrease in their daily amount of heroin taken. The onset of heroin withdrawal symptoms begin six to eight hours after the last dose is administrated. Major heroin withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last dose of heroin and subdue after about one week. The symptoms of heroin withdrawal produced are similar to a bad case of the flu.

Heroin detox can be uncomfortable but rarely life threatening. Drug detox centers provide drug rehab and addiction treatment services after drug detox is complete. It is rarely enough to simply remove drugs for recovery to be complete. Drug rehab gives persons the tools to remain free of drug addiction for life.
