how long do physical withdrawal symptoms last? My husband was in a detox for 5 days for oxycontin. 10 days later, feeling exhausted and emotional
From the information I have traces of the drug can be found in the urine for up to 2 weeks. Many drugs get stored in fat tissue and that is why drug traces remain so long. Many of us turned to drugs because we couldn't handle situations therefore it is not unusual for us to be very emotional when we don't have the drug to numb us out. Relearning how to cope with our emotions is a big part of recovery. Best of luck to you both and take care.
