Methods to Get Through Heroin Withdrawal Without Relapsing on Other Drugs
A heroin user going through heroin withdrawal can have symptoms that range from jerking walking movements, vomiting, diarrhea and even unconsciousness. If the user has been on heroin for a long time, going without heroin without therapy or a drug substitute can be fatal. Heroin affects the central nervous system and the drug effect or rush or buzz is really the drug shutting down the central nervous system and settling in the brain.
To carefully perform a heroin withdrawal, a heroin user needs to find a facility that can assist him or her with therapy and by with a substitute drug to stop the control that heroin has in the user’s brain. Even with a controlled withdrawal environment, the symptoms are not pleasant to watch. Symptoms are said to start about two days after stopping heroin.

The best bet for the heroin addict at this point would be to go to a heroin addiction rehab. There you can have a medical heroin withdrawal. For this they will more that likely start you with subutex and taper you to suboxone. This type of detox takes up to one week.
If the user was heavily into heroin, he or she might start having symptoms as early as six hours after the last heroin take. Usually, the symptoms begin with a flushed face and an agitation in the person’s demeanor accompanied by pacing or by uncontrollable fits. Other physical symptoms of heroin withdrawal are vomiting and defecating if the user is not supplied with a heroin substitute until the drug has been flushed from his brain by natural body functions like urinating, sweating, and vomiting.
The withdrawal symptoms after the initial attacks are through are withdrawal from contact with other people and a heightened sense of their surroundings. These withdrawal symptoms can be extremely hard for a user who might also have other medical conditions. Other symptoms include thrashing of arms and legs. The severity of the withdrawal symptoms seems to depend on the length of time the user used the drug and the dosage that he or she used.
Good luck
