The detox from heroin five is not really any all that new except for the name. I am not sure where the name originated but I would guess may somewhere in the U. K. because the opiate detox 5 method is quite popular over there.
With the ever growing number of heroin addicts in the United States this type of detox is really that bad of an idea. The reason I say this is because insurance companies will no longer cover just a detox and conventional rehab is quite expensive these days; in fact a 12 day stay in heron addiction rehab will run you thousands of dollars where the detox 5 is just a drop in the bucket to that number.
Ok now if you are interested in recovering from heroin addiction with this method I would first of all decide how I wanted to go about it. Either you can kick at home heroin cold turkey or go to rehab for a heroin 5 day detox.
Heroin addiction recovery
If you want to quit using heron at home you can get this medication from a Dr. that is able to prescribe it not all doctors can you have to be certified addictionoligist. Go see one and they will give you the medication you will need to do a successful detox in five days.
If for some reason you can not afford either of these methods you will be stuck with quitting heroin cold turkey and it will be very difficult to do successfully but it can be done I have done it when I had no other option available to me. In any case choose one of these methods and stop using heroin today. I know that you can do it if you really have the desire to get clean so take action now.
Drug addiction therapy can help you stay sober
If you are will to commit to staying clean and sober then there are certain steps you can take that will help you to do exactly that. The first step that I took was making a commitment with my sponsor to attend a meeting everyday. It was also suggested that while there that I get some phone numbers from other recovering addicts and practice using them because believe it or not its hard to call others. I also started calling my sponsor every day plus I started to write the steps. Another good idea may be to start attending substance abuse counseling. I actually did that for 2 years once per week.
Good luck
