Frequently Asked Questions
The most common symptoms across substances include anxiety, sweating, nausea, insomnia, and cravings, but the full picture varies significantly depending on what was being used. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can also produce tremors, hallucinations, and seizures, making them medically serious. Opioid withdrawal tends to feel flu-like, with muscle aches, vomiting, and intense restlessness. Stimulant withdrawal is mostly psychological: profound fatigue, depression, and difficulty feeling pleasure.
Most publicly funded withdrawal management services in Canada accept self-referrals; you can call or walk in without a physician's referral. The right type of service depends on your situation: community detox centres suit lower-risk withdrawals, while medical detox units and hospital emergency departments are needed for more severe presentations. RAAM clinics offer same-day walk-in assessment in many provinces. Private detox centres are also an option, typically with faster admission and longer stays, though costs are not covered by provincial health insurance.
The substance matters most. Anyone withdrawing from alcohol or benzodiazepines with significant dependence needs medical supervision; both can cause life-threatening seizures, and the most dangerous complications often develop after the person already feels they're past the worst. A prior history of withdrawal seizures or delirium tremens is the single strongest indicator that medical care is required. Opioid withdrawal isn't directly fatal but carries serious overdose risk on relapse, making clinical support strongly recommended. When in doubt, a phone screening with a withdrawal management service will help determine the right level of care.
Publicly funded detox is available in every province at no direct cost to residents with a valid health card, but wait times for residential beds can stretch from weeks to months depending on the province. Private detox centres typically cost $500–$2,000 per week and offer near-immediate admission with no wait list. Some of those costs may be partially recoverable through employer benefit plans or the federal Medical Expense Tax Credit.

Marcel’s take on detox in Ontario
Detox is not treatment. It is the beginning of treatment, and a lot of people miss that distinction. I spent five years working inside a residential centre before I started DRS, and I watched people come through withdrawal, feel better, and think they were done. They were not. The reason they started using was still sitting there.
What detox actually looks like depends completely on what someone is coming off. I remember a guy who had been binging on crack cocaine for about a week straight. He slept for 36 hours. We woke him up to keep him hydrated and get supplements into him, and four or five days later he was ready to move on to the program. Heroin is harder. There are stages: first the agitation and insomnia, then nausea and vomiting. You have to keep them hydrated and get them through it. Alcohol is its own category. People in residential treatment for alcohol have usually been drinking for years, not months, and long-term use can damage organs, which creates another challenge after the withdrawal itself is done. And if someone is on benzos or fentanyl, medical supervision is not optional. I had a guy arrive at the centre saying he was coming off marijuana. He had been on benzodiazepines for years and had never properly detoxed from them. He ended up having a seizure. Those substances have to be handled in a medical environment first.
One practical thing worth knowing: not all centres in Ontario offer both detox and ongoing treatment under the same roof. Some are detox-only, and when you leave, you will need to move into a separate program. That transition is where a lot of people fall through the cracks. Plan for what comes after detox before you go in, not when you are coming out.
