How long does an opiate withdrawl last?

3-14 days: The duration of withdrawal depends on the medication taken and how long it has been taken. Once the acute withdrawal stops, there is a period of more subtle withdrawal that can last up to 6 months. The symptoms during this period are usually sleep disturbance and possibly anxiety or depression. To successfully manage getting off and staying off opiates, you need help from an addiction councilor.

Typically: 1-2 weeks for most people but can extend to 3-4 weeks, depending on the medications you were on and how much.
