How To Treat Withdrawal Symptoms

Developing an alcohol or drug dependence makes trying to get sober more difficult. Some people living in active addiction know what to expect from withdrawal. Others who haven’t experienced withdrawal symptoms have heard how uncomfortable they can be. While seeking recovery is a smart choice for your future, withdrawal symptoms can be dangerous, especially without medical intervention.

Physical Withdrawal Symptoms

Depending on the substance and a man’s addiction history, the severity of withdrawal symptoms can vary. Different substances can incite various physical symptoms. However, there’s no denying that substances like alcohol, opiates, benzodiazepines and others can cause significant pain and discomfort. Some of these symptoms include:

  • Nausea

  • Stomach cramping

Additionally, the withdrawal process also causes organ damage. The process can put the heart under tremendous stress because it’s working harder than it has to. These symptoms can lead to elevated blood pressure. Long-term substance abuse also weakens the heart, making the extra work even more dangerous.

Psychological Withdrawal Symptoms

Psychological withdrawal symptoms usually arise within 8–12 hours of non-consumption. Abruptly quitting just about any substance can generate these effects, which can include:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Irritability
  • Insomnia

Going through the withdrawal process makes it difficult for a person to focus. Individuals undergoing withdrawal can be temperamental. In fact, the process causes many people to resort to using just to calm themselves down. Being under medical supervision makes it easier for men to combat these cravings.
