Drug detox in Lytham St Annes varies significantly depending on the substance. Heroin and opioid detox typically uses buprenorphine (Subutex), lofexidine, or a reducing methadone dose to manage withdrawal over 7–14 days. Benzodiazepine detox requires a very gradual reducing dose — rapid withdrawal from benzos can also cause fatal seizures. Cocaine and cannabis do not cause physical withdrawal in the same way, though psychological withdrawal can be intense.
