What is a Temazepam detox?

Beginning with a basic definition, a Temazepam detox is the process of cleansing all traces of the drug from your system, giving you a clear head so that you can move on to the next stages of treatment. Unfortunately, because of the nature of Temazepam and its chemical composition as a benzodiazepine, it can prove challenging to suddenly stop taking the substance.

After the continuous use of Temazepam, the detox process will trigger Temazepam withdrawal symptoms that are a physical and psychological representation of the cravings that your body will be experiencing throughout this transitional period. The severity of these withdrawal symptoms will depend on how often you have been taking Temazepam as well as the volume you have been using.

Can I detox from Temazepam at home?

Benzodiazepines are notoriously difficult to withdraw from because of the risk of complications and severe withdrawal symptoms that come along with the detox process.In fact, Benzodiazepine detox, including Temazepam detox, is among the hardest detoxification processes to undergo. In some cases, it can take months for people to be completely independent of any side effects.

Considering the withdrawal symptoms and side effects, it is never recommended that you quit your medication without supervision. The safest place to detox from Temazepam is within a supervised medical clinic where staff will be able to respond immediately in case of an emergency. Often times after the period of detox has taken place, UKAT continues to work with a resident’s local GP in order to make sure they remain on the right track. However, it is vital that you seek medical and addiction professional help at the start in order to be able to have the option to continue treatment at home.
