If a loved one is addicted to Nitrous Oxide and they have stopped using the drug it is possible they may suffer withdrawal. During Nitrous Oxide detox, individuals may experience a range of symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, confusion, irritability, and fatigue. The severity and duration of withdrawal symptoms will vary depending on factors such as the length of NOS use and the quantity consumed. These symptoms can be uncomfortable and can be avoided if the individual has a medical detox at home or within a residential facility.
There are a variety of dangers when consuming laughing gas so if you think your loved one has a problem with NOS contact a Treatment Advisor today for a free assessment and a personalised treatment plan.
The decision to detox or not will depend on your individual circumstances. If you have been using Nitrous Oxide for an extended period, it is likely that you have developed a dependence on it. In this case, detox can be an essential step towards regaining control of your life. However, if you have only been using Nitrous Oxide for a short period, you may not need to detox.
While detox from Nos is an essential step towards regaining control of your life, it is not enough on its own. After completing detox, it is important to address the underlying issues that led to your dependence on Nitrous Oxide. This may involve changing your lifestyle, avoiding triggers that may cause you to use Nitrous Oxide, and seeking additional support and treatment from addiction specialists such as 1-2-1 therapy or involvement in outpatient programmes can be beneficial in sustaining long term recovery.
The length of Nitrous Oxide detox can vary depending on the severity of your dependence on the gas. In some cases, detox can be completed in a few days, while in other cases, it may take several weeks. It is important to work with a healthcare provider such as Rehabs UK to determine the length of detox that is right for you.
