How long does heroin withdrawal last?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually 72 hrs: The peak of withdraw usually occurs within the first 72 hours, gradually tapering over 5 to 7 days. A few patients withdraw over months, but this is less common. The symptoms of withdraw should be managed by a healthcare provider.

Days to weeks: Acute withdrawal (the flu like symptoms) last one to three days. Protracted abstinence may be accompanied by severe craving for heroin for weeks to months.
