understand opioid withdrawal
When you’re preparing to begin recovery, choosing the right opioid withdrawal treatment clinic is critical. Opioid withdrawal can bring intense physical symptoms and emotional challenges, making rapid access to personalized care essential. In 2020, the SAMHSA helpline received 833,598 calls—a 27 percent increase over 2019—illustrating just how many people need timely support [1]. By understanding the withdrawal process and its impact, you can feel more empowered as you explore payment options and treatment settings that suit your needs.
Opioid withdrawal typically follows a predictable timeline:
- Early symptoms (6–12 hours after last use): anxiety, muscle aches, sweating, insomnia
- Peak symptoms (48–72 hours): nausea, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, goose bumps
- Subsiding phase (5–7 days): reduced intensity of physical symptoms, lingering mood swings
According to DSM-5 criteria, common signs of opioid withdrawal include lacrimation, rhinorrhea, piloerection, myalgia, pupillary dilation, and autonomic hyperactivity [2]. Beyond the physical discomfort, you may experience irritability, anxiety, or depression. Recognizing these unique challenges underscores the importance of seamless admission to a supportive environment where medical supervision and tailored therapies guide you safely through detox.
compare payment options
Finding the right funding pathway for your detox can significantly influence how quickly you start treatment and the level of flexibility you enjoy. At Metro Rehab, we offer two primary payment methods: private insurance and direct cash pay. Both options have unique benefits, and understanding them helps you make an informed choice.
private insurance benefits
- Faster authorizations – Many private plans approve care quickly when partnered with an established clinic
- Comprehensive coverage – Insurance may cover medical detox, medication-assisted therapy, and counseling
- Reduced out-of-pocket costs – Copayments and deductibles often apply, but overall expenses can be lower
By accepting a wide range of PPO and POS plans, Metro Rehab streamlines insurance verification so you can move from inquiry to admission in days rather than weeks. If you’ve been turned away elsewhere due to policy networks, our team navigates pre-certifications on your behalf, ensuring minimal administrative burdens.
cash pay advantages
- Immediate admissions – Skip insurance approvals and begin care as soon as you’re ready
- Customized care packages – Tailor your stay length, therapies, and amenities without plan restrictions
- Transparent billing – Know exact costs upfront, with no surprise charges
With direct pay, you control every aspect of your treatment plan. Whether you prefer a private room, extended therapy sessions, or additional holistic services, cash pay offers the flexibility to create an environment that fosters comfort and healing.

customize your treatment plan
Every person’s journey through opioid withdrawal is unique. Metro Rehab creates individualized plans that address your medical, psychological, and social needs.
medication-assisted therapies
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) reduces cravings and eases withdrawal symptoms when combined with counseling. We offer:
- Methadone maintenance – Effective for long-term opioid dependence, with close medical monitoring [2]
- Buprenorphine programs – Prescribed by qualified providers or via telehealth at our buprenorphine clinic
- Naltrexone initiation – Blocks opioid receptors, aiding relapse prevention
- Lofexidine management – Non-opioid option approved in 2018 to ease acute withdrawal
Despite strong evidence supporting MAT, fewer than 20 percent of individuals with opioid use disorder receive it [3]. At Metro Rehab, we prioritize timely access to these FDA-approved medications so you benefit from the most effective, research-backed treatments.
holistic support services
Supporting your mind and spirit is as vital as managing physical symptoms. Your treatment may include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy and individual counseling
- Group sessions focused on coping skills and relapse prevention
- Mind-body practices like yoga, meditation, and art therapy
- Nutritional guidance and fitness planning
Our evidence based addiction therapy team ensures that every modality you choose is backed by clinical research, creating a truly comprehensive care plan.
co-occurring condition care
If you face multiple substance dependencies or mental health challenges, integrated treatment is essential. Metro Rehab treats:
- Polysubstance addiction – coordinated programs for combined opioid and stimulant use [4]
- Depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder
- Chronic pain management concerns
By addressing all facets of your health, we lay a foundation for long-term recovery and resilience.
