Leucadia Detox provides 24/7 medically supervised opioid detox in Encinitas, California. Whether you are struggling with heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, or another prescription painkiller, our clinical team helps you withdraw safely and prepares you for lasting recovery.
Opioids include prescription painkillers such as OxyContin, Percocet, and Vicodin, as well as heroin and fentanyl. They change how the brain handles pain and reward, and what begins as a prescription or occasional use can turn into physical dependence faster than most people expect. Stopping suddenly can bring painful withdrawal, and that fear is often what keeps people using.
At Leucadia Detox, you do not have to go through it alone. Our Encinitas facility, a licensed ASAM Level 3.5 clinically managed detox with medical supervision, provides round-the-clock monitoring so withdrawal symptoms such as body aches, nausea, insomnia, anxiety, and cravings are treated as they happen. Once you are stable, we help you plan the next step, so detox becomes the start of recovery and not a one-time event.
We are located at 136 E Jason St, Encinitas, CA 92024, close to Interstate 5, and welcome clients from Carlsbad, Oceanside, Del Mar, San Diego, and across Southern California.
Opioid use disorder looks different for everyone, but common signs include:
If several of these sound familiar, help is available, and asking about treatment does not commit you to anything. Call 888-574-8028 for a free, confidential conversation.
Opioid withdrawal is rarely life-threatening on its own, but it is intensely uncomfortable and can lead to dehydration, relapse and overdose when someone returns to using. Fentanyl and mixed-substance use can make withdrawal harder to predict. Medical supervision keeps you safe and more comfortable.
Common symptoms: muscle and bone aches, sweating, chills, runny nose, yawning, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, goosebumps and strong cravings.
| Opioid type | Symptoms usually begin | Typically peak | Acute phase usually eases |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short-acting (heroin, oxycodone, hydrocodone) | 8 to 24 hours after last use | Days 1 to 3 | Around 5 to 10 days |
| Long-acting (methadone, extended-release opioids) | 24 to 72 hours after last use | Days 3 to 7 | Can last 2 weeks or longer |
| Fentanyl | Varies; often within 12 to 30 hours | Varies | Can be longer than heroin |
Timelines vary with the substance, how long and how much you used, your health and other medications. Sleep problems, low mood and cravings can linger for weeks, which is why a plan for care after detox matters.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combines FDA-approved medication with counseling and is a well-researched approach for opioid use disorder. Medications can reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, which helps many people stay in treatment. Your care team will explain the options, benefits, and risks so you can make an informed choice.
We provide medically supervised detox for dependence on:
Detox clears opioids from your system, but it is only the first step. Lasting recovery usually needs continued treatment, so our team helps you move into the level of care that fits, such as residential treatment, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), individual therapy and peer support. We coordinate the handoff, so there is no gap between leaving detox and starting the next phase.

Any opioid can lead to dependence, whether prescribed or illegal. These include heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, codeine, methadone and tramadol. Counterfeit pills sold as “blues” often contain fentanyl, which greatly increases overdose risk.

Most people stay for several days to about a week, depending on the opioid used, how long you used it, and your health. Short-acting opioids like heroin and oxycodone usually have a shorter acute phase than long-acting opioids like methadone. Your clinical team will give you a more specific estimate after your assessment.
Opioid withdrawal is rarely life-threatening by itself, but it is very uncomfortable and can cause dehydration and strong cravings that lead to relapse and overdose. Withdrawal can also be complicated by other substances, such as alcohol or benzodiazepines, or by medical conditions. Medically supervised detox is the safest way to get through it.
