Why Would My Girlfriend Go to Detox? Seroquil or Opiate Addiction?

Question by iamwetoddid365: Why would my girlfriend go to detox? Seroquil or opiate addiction?
I think my girlfriend is lying to me. She told me that she has been trying to get off of Seroquil and has to go to the hospital for “detox” 5-7 days. My brother is a psychiatry resident and told me that withdrawal from seroquil does not require detox and a 5-7 day period is used for withdrawal from heroin or opiates. I suspect she is not telling me the truth and said that she was going to be violently ill and I couldn’t visit her. A 5-7 day stop in the hospital where you get violently ill sounds like withdrawal from methadone, not seroquil. What do you think?
