The acute symptoms are no longer present at this stage but the patient experiences mood swings, cravings, drug dreams, anxiety, depression, irritability, insomnia, and poor concentration.

The opiate drug detox is just the first step to recovery because a patient can easily slip up from a trigger and go back to using. Painkillers can be highly addictive. Therefore, doctors recommend that a patient goes for further treatment like inpatient rehabilitation where they may receive more treatment in the form of therapy and counseling.
