Struggling With Opioids? You’re Not Alone—And You Don’t Have to Face This Alone

If you’re here, it’s probably because something needs to change. Whether you’re using prescription painkillers, heroin, or fentanyl, and whether this is your first time seeking help or your fifth, we want you to know: there’s still time, and there’s still hope.

You won’t find judgment here—just real people who care. Our team is with you 24/7 to ease withdrawal, reduce the risk of relapse, and help you feel safe and supported from the very beginning. Whether you’re coming from just down the road or a few counties over, we’re here to help you take back control—one step at a time.

What Is Opiate Detox—and Why Is It the First Step in Recovery?

Detoxing from opioids isn’t easy—especially when your body has grown used to needing them just to feel normal. For a lot of people, it’s not the drugs themselves that hold them back—it’s the fear of what withdrawal might feel like.
That’s exactly why we’re here.
At Warsaw Recovery Center, detox isn’t just about getting through the symptoms. It’s about giving you a safe, steady place to land. A place where your body can stabilize, your mind can rest, and your next chapter can begin—one step at a time.

What Happens to Your Body During Opiate Withdrawal?

Opioid withdrawal symptoms can start just 6–12 hours after your last use and may include:
  • Body aches, shaking, and chills
  • Anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia
  • Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
  • Depression, hopelessness, and strong cravings
These symptoms typically peak within 72 hours, but everyone’s timeline is different. What’s consistent is that withdrawal can be dangerous without medical support —especially if you’re using fentanyl or combining substances.

What’s the Timeline for Opiate Detox?

Every detox journey is different. That said, here’s what a typical experience might look like at Warsaw Recovery Center:
📅 Day-by-Day Breakdown:

Day 1: Intake, evaluation, and start of withdrawal
Days 2–3: Peak symptoms—this is where 24/7 support makes the difference
Days 4–6: Physical symptoms start to fade, and mental clarity begins returning
After 1 week: You’re more stable and ready for the next step—whether that’s inpatient care or another program

We adjust your detox plan as needed, every step of the way.

How MAT Supports You During Opiate Detox

Relief, Stability, and a Safer Way Through Withdrawal

Opiate withdrawal can feel unbearable—but it doesn’t have to be. At Warsaw Recovery Center, we use Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) as a powerful tool to ease symptoms, reduce cravings, and give your body the support it needs to safely detox.

What Is MAT?

MAT combines FDA-approved medications with compassionate clinical care. It’s designed to help your brain and body rebalance after prolonged opioid use—without putting you through unnecessary suffering.

Medications We May Use During Detox:

  • Suboxone (buprenorphine + naloxone): Eases withdrawal symptoms and lowers the risk of relapse
  • Methadone: Often used for long-term opioid dependence or more severe withdrawal
  • Comfort medications: To help manage anxiety, insomnia, nausea, or other symptoms that surface during detox

We tailor every MAT plan to the individual—you won’t be overmedicated or put on a one-size-fits-all protocol. Our goal is to make sure you feel safe, stable, and supported throughout the entire process.

Can I Detox from Opiates at Home?

Risks of At-Home Detox Include:

  • Increased risk of overdose during relapse
  • Suicidal thoughts with no one around to help
You deserve more than a guesswork detox. You deserve professional care in a space where your safety—and your story—matter.
