If you have a fear of quitting heroin because you are afraid of the heroin withdrawl symptoms then continue reading I will put some of the myth of heroin withdraw to rest.

Now if you plan on stopping heroin at home then yes the heroin withdrawl will be somewhat difficult. There are several withdrawl symptoms you will have to deal with if you decide to stop using this way without any medications to help ease the pain of the heroine withdrawal.

Heroin withdraw symptoms

but it could take up to 5

* Loss of appetite

* Insomnia

* Vomiting

* Diarrhea

* Headache

* Goose bumps

* Chills or sweats

* Wanting to give up and go to the dope house

* Heroin cravings

If you think you can cope with all of these symptoms then by all means go for it. I have went through heroin withdrawl this way and it was no picnic but it can be done. My suggestion to you is that if you are serious about quitting in this manner is that you should invite someone to come and stay with you they could be the difference whether you make it or give up and goes use before you are half way through with your heroin withdrawl.

How to get through heroin withdrawal in a inpatient drug rehab facility

The best way to go through heroin withdral is in treatment in my opinion is in a inpatient detox facility. Now keep in mind I speak from experience having detox from heroin in a inpatient rehab many times and let me just say is a lot easier than quitting heroin cold turkey at home. If you decide to use this method there you can go through detoxed from heroin rather comfortably. Do not be afraid because a medical staff will administer medications to help ease the withdrawl. One can go to rehab and go through the whole detox process in about 3 or 4 days  but it could take up to 5 depending on how much dope you were actually using.

However when you are finished with your heroin withdrawl detox I would recommend that you continue your recovery in residential treatment. This will help to prepare you for when you leave residential treatment and go home. I have kicked heroin both of these ways so trust me you can get clean with both. The idea though is to remain clean!

There are many ways a person can remain clean and sober after leaving substance abuse treatment. When I was in long term drug rehab I attended NA meetings on daily basis. This can be one of the most profound experiences a heroin addict can have the reason being it gets them around people who are trying to change their lives because one addict helping another is without parallel. I would suggest you too attend meetings every day so you build up a strong heroin addiction recovery foundation. While attend meetings you will make a lot of new friends who are just like you doing there best to stay clean and sober.
