Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse.
