I NEVER suggest that an addict and/or alcoholic detox at home, it is just NOT SAFE.
Love and hugs,
What does TOD mean?
Also, I've heard that detoxing from alcohol is not safe, but my husband has detoxed from opiates a few times now? Is that just as unsafe? He's freaking miserable (and a pain in the rear) to be around, and I'm also wondering how long that typically goes on.
He was using the whole month of October, quit more or less cold turkey around Veteran's Day (9/10, 9/11, something like that), but he's still complaining about terrible headaches, sweats, and achiness. I'm kind of suspicious, simply because I thought he went through the worst of it a few weeks ago. Last night, he crashed from the time he got home from work around 4:30 and didn't really wake up until this morning. Could that still be detoxing-related, as he says, or something else.....?
