Generally: If you are healthy there is no worry regarding seriousness or urgency. Formal detox programs can use alternative medications to help with the detox, but its something like having the worst flu, muscle ache, heart racing, increased pain etc. If you have cardiac or pulmonary abnormalities you may need to seek formal medical care.
