Withdrawal Management in Indiana
At Parkdale Center, we know that everyone’s needs are different when it comes to treating substance use disorders (SUD). Some people who are struggling with a SUD can experience symptoms of withdrawal when they stop using drugs or alcohol.
The effects of withdrawal on the body and mind can differ from person to person, but they can be uncomfortable and dangerous when not addressed correctly. Withdrawal symptoms typically occur 6-24 hours after someone with a dependence stops using. The severity and duration of withdrawal are dependent on the length of time abusing the substance, type of substance abused, family history, and medical and mental health history.
For some, detoxification is required to ensure their safety while they withdraw. Parkdale Center does not provide detoxification services. However, we do have a Withdrawal Management Program for those who can withdraw safely.
Parkdale’s Withdrawal Management Program gives you guided, individualized support throughout your withdrawal. The first step is to perform a comprehensive mental and physical health assessment so we can establish the kind of support program that will work best for you.
Understanding the Withdrawal Process
What Does Withdrawal Management Entail?
A comprehensive mental and physical health assessment involves thoroughly evaluating your physical and psychological well-being. The physical health assessment includes a complete medical history and physical examination to identify any current or potential health problems. It may involve various diagnostic tests such as blood tests, urine tests, imaging studies, and more.
The mental health assessment, on the other hand, focuses on evaluating your emotional well-being. It involves an in-depth interview and may include a questionnaire or screening tools to identify potential mental health disorders. The assessment takes into consideration your feelings, behavior, and thinking patterns. By combining these two assessments, we can develop a holistic understanding of your health and accordingly devise a suitable support program.
Once the assessment is complete, we begin the withdrawal management process. This involves monitoring your physical and mental health during the period of drug or alcohol withdrawal in order to ensure your comfort and safety. During this time, we provide you with medications to reduce cravings and ease any symptoms. We also offer psychotherapy sessions to help you manage your emotions and urges.
Once a doctor has evaluated your unique situation, we provide medication management, psychiatric support, and physical monitoring to make you as comfortable as possible during your withdrawal. We also offer nutrition guidance and lifestyle coaching to ensure you are getting the proper nutrients and exercise to support your long-term recovery. In addition, our team of professionals provides supportive counseling sessions that focus on addressing underlying issues that may have contributed to your substance use disorder.
We understand that everyone’s individual needs are different, so we work closely with you to develop a personalized program tailored to your needs. We aim to create a safe and supportive environment for you so that you can focus on making progress toward sobriety without feeling overwhelmed or alone.
We believe that the road to recovery starts with understanding and working through underlying issues that may have caused or contributed to your substance use disorder.

What to Expect During Withdrawals
Symptoms of Withdrawal
Withdrawal symptoms can widely vary depending on the type of substance used, the duration of use, and individual health conditions. They can range from mild discomfort to severe health complications and are often a significant hurdle in the path toward recovery.
Physical symptoms of withdrawal may include sweating, trembling, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. In severe cases, individuals might experience fever, seizures, or even hallucinations. For example, withdrawal from depressants such as alcohol and benzodiazepines can lead to dangerous symptoms like seizures and delirium, potentially requiring immediate medical attention. Stimulants like cocaine and methamphetamine, on the other hand, may cause extreme fatigue, depression, and changes in appetite during the withdrawal phase.
Psychological symptoms often accompany physical discomfort. Individuals might experience symptoms such as anxiety, restlessness, irritability, insomnia, depression, or mood swings. In some cases, withdrawal can lead to severe depression and suicidal thoughts, underscoring the need for professional supervision and support during this challenging period.
Apart from these, cravings are a common symptom experienced during withdrawal. These powerful urges to use the substance can be extremely difficult to manage and are a major factor leading to relapse. Recognizing triggers for cravings, managing them effectively, and developing new coping strategies to address them is an important part of the withdrawal process.
Withdrawal symptoms can begin as soon as a few hours after the last use of the substance and may last from several days to a few weeks, again depending on several factors, including the type of substance used.
It’s important to remember that withdrawal can be dangerous and should not be attempted without medical supervision. A professional detox program can provide the necessary medical support and monitoring to ensure safety during withdrawal.
Furthermore, effective treatment doesn’t stop at managing withdrawal symptoms; rather, it serves as the first step toward long-term recovery. It’s vital to follow detox with a comprehensive treatment program that includes therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), group counseling, and other treatment modalities that address the root causes of substance use disorder and equip individuals with skills to maintain their sobriety.

The Benefits of a Withdrawal Management Program
While withdrawal is a challenging process, it’s a crucial step toward recovery. Being aware of the potential symptoms and understanding the necessity for professional support can make this journey smoother and safer.
Participating in a withdrawal management program is a key step toward recovery from substance use disorders. Such programs offer a safe, supervised environment where individuals can navigate the challenges of withdrawal with professional support. This approach drastically reduces the risk of potentially life-threatening complications arising from unsupervised withdrawal.
Furthermore, a withdrawal management program goes beyond just managing symptoms. It is the gateway to comprehensive treatment, setting the stage for therapeutic interventions. The program aids in stabilizing the individual’s physical health while preparing them mentally for the next phase of recovery.
