PCP Detox

PCP is an addictive drug, and common symptoms of withdrawal include sweating, headaches, and intense cravings to use the drug. Flashbacks and increased need for sleep are also common symptoms of withdrawal. Flashbacks can occur for months after cessation.

The chemicals in PCP bind to brain and fat tissue in the body, therefore the drug takes longer to clear from the body. The half-life of PCP is anywhere from seven to forty-six hours, and it can take anywhere from two to ten days for the drug to completely clear from the system.

Other factors determine how fast the person in recovery will completely detox from the drug. Age, weight, height, fitness level, metabolic rate, how long the person has been using can all affect the detox timeline.

Withdrawing from PCP use is typically not life-threatening; however, the physical and mental effects of withdrawal can be uncomfortable and unpleasant for those wishing to quit the drug. Intense cravings for the drug, pain from headaches, and the discomfort from sleep disturbances can place the recovering addict at increased risk of relapse.

Detoxing in a safe environment like the rehabilitation center at Windward Way can offer the needed support to make recovery likely. Since the one in recovery is in a structured environment, the withdrawal symptom of increased cravings for the drug is a much less worrisome occurrence. In a safe rehabilitation center, the object of the craving is not available, and the user can ride out the symptom until it ceases its hold.

Detox medications can lessen the severity of PCP withdrawal symptoms. Less discomfort and pain can help the person in recovery stay on course to become free of the drug. Undertaking drug rehabilitation in a detox center, surrounded by supportive counselors and trained medical staff, is more likely to result in a full, life-long recovery than if the sufferer were to try to tough-out the effects of withdrawal in isolation.

Here at Windward Way, our trained counselors and committed staff offer real support, changing men’s lives and freeing them from the demon of addiction.
