What Are Some Heroin Detox Alternatives?
Question by stoopid6: What are some heroin detox alternatives?
I have a friend that is addicted and wants to detox but he works and cannot go into a hospital to detox. He has tried cold turkey and cannot do that either. He previously was in a methadone program but doesn’t want to go back there because they keep the addicts on methadone for a very long time. Sometimes more than a year. I’ve heard there is a drug he could take for a few days that will take away the withdrawal symptoms but I don’t know the name or where he would go to get it.
Please help me help him. Thanks.
