There is not a lot to it one just looks for a Dr. that can write prescriptions for suboxone because not all Dr's are yet licensed to prescribe it. Once you locate one go see them and tell them that you want to be able to do a 14 day heroin withdrawal with suboxone. They will give you a script and tell you how to take the medication. Now all you have to do is go home and take the medication as directed for 14 days. Done deal.
Next way is to go to a heroin rehab they are generally around 14 days. There you can be medically detoxed from heroin. Once there you will be given medication to help your withdrawal symptoms. During this period you can get plenty of bed rest. This process will take around 5 days. Upon completion of your detox I recommend that you continue your recovery in resident treatment. Residential is around 14 days. There you will attend lectures, group, and attend 12 step meetings.
This should give you a lot of information that you will need to stay clean when you get out of rehab. If this does not work for you for one reason or another the last option is to go to long term drug rehab. There you can gain more info on how to live life without the use of heroin and other drugs; in fact I would go so far as to recommend it to any hard core addict. I have gone to long term drug rehab and it did me a world of good.
I even went back to school. I like to say that when we get clean the sky is the limit because we can basically become the person we only dreamed of being. Lost dreams do awaken and we do find a new way to live. Don’t wait around to get help do whatever you have takes to stop opiate withdrawal today. Time is of the essence you could die or end up spending the rest of your life in prison for a drug related crime. I know God was watching over me because by all rights I should have been both.
If you follow these suggestions you too can learn how to recover from opiate addiction but keep in mind that it requires ongoing work because if you do not maintain your recovery you will lose it in a drug relapse. I know this to be a fact because my first few time of getting out of rehab I thought I had everything figured out but it turns out that what I new about heroin addiction recovery you could put in a sewing thimble.
Good luck
