You should talk to a doctor or counsellor. But I believe they get really, really sick because of the shock to the body. They may have massive nightmares and maybeven convulse. Depends how bad the addiction was
Answer by Alain Suggar
Heroin withdrawal (sometimes called clucking or rattling) can be very minor to very severe. It is a very unpleasant experience but very unlikely to be life-threatening. The severity of the withdrawal depends entirely on the individual but common effects are
Restlessness (Inability to feel comfortable)
Inability to keep food/drink down
Diarrhea and/or Constipation
Hallucinations
Delusions
Hypersensitivity (especially hearing)
Insomnia
Nausea
Major risk is from dehydration as it is sometimes difficult to keep water down. If the withdrawal is severe, they may often say things that are very hurtful or plain mean. You have to ignore this.
