Is There Anything I Can Take For Post Acute Withdrawal
Question: Is there anything I can take for post acute withdrawal symptoms from opioids?
Brief Answer:
opioid withdrawal treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello Ms. Eldridge and welcome to Ask a Doctor. I have read your query and here is my advice.
Withdrawal on your own can be hard and may even be dangerous. Treatment most often is successful with counseling and friend & family support(to help with calmness) and medication(to reduce anxiety and aggression which is common).
You and your doctor can discuss your care and treatment goals.
If you have any clarifications, please ask me. Or you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health.
