When it comes to heroin detox one is presented with several options they can choose from for their detox. If I were planning to quit heron in the near future I would do my homework and look into the ways one can go about detoxing from heroin.

I have used several methods to recover from heroin and they all worked the problem was once I got clean I failed to have a recovery program in place which is essential if one wishes to stay clean and have any type of sobriety.

The first option I will discuss today is by far the hardest detox to accomplish unless you have medications to help you. This method is known by many as heroin cold turkey. The name actually came about long ago when old time heroin addicts used this method because they had no other options.

Like I said it is hard but I have done it successfully but most people will give up before they are half way finished do to the horrendous heroin withdrawals.

If you are serious about stopping this way then here are some suggestions for you.

Heroin cold turkey

1. Make plans pick a day you intend to stop. Try and stay awake as much as possible a few days before the day you intend to stop using heroin.

2. Invite a friend or family member to come stay with you they can be there to comfort you as well as be a form of moral support. We all need to feel like someone cares about us and them just being there may actually help you to make it to the end.

3. Visit your local pharmacy and get some Motrin, Imodium, and Benadryl. The Motrin will help relieve leg craps and the Imodium will help diarrhea. Now the Benadryl will help you to sleep if you still are not sleeping.

While detoxing the heroin will start leaving your system a little at a time this is when you will have to hold on the best way you can. It will only last a few days so hang in there this can be the last time you ever have to go through heroin withdrawal again.

OK if this is not for you then you may want to try heroin addiction rehab and in my opinion it is the best as well as the safest way to kick heroin. If you choose this method to overcome your addiction to heroin you will be looked after 24/7 by a trained medical staff, they will be there for support as well as help you with your basic needs. They will also administer prescription medications to help with the heroin withdrawal symptoms.

Normally this process takes 3 to 5 days but can run a bit longer for hard core heroin addicts. That’s all there is to it so why not take action today to stop heroin and start living the kind of life you always wanted to before your addiction to heroin took over your life.

Good luck.
