When a person gets torn out of the frame enough times from using drugs they may really desire to change and want to do something different with your life other than smoking heroin is concerned. That’s right when we become sick and tired of being sick and tired we may have the desire to try another approach. Notice I said may have the desire.

I say this because this is not enough we must surrender to the fact that drugs have one. The thing we must do is admit this to ourselves on a deeper level. For me that meant that I could not use one of anything not even one drink of alcohol. Like it says in the NA literature we found that one is too many and a thousand is never enough.

How to quit smoking heroin

I used to dream about having a mountain of heroin enough that would last me the rest of my life. I am glad it never came true cause I sure would not be here writing this today. I would be some where pushing up Daisy’s.

If you want to quit smoking heroin you will have to understand that you can not go to rehab and get clean and keep reservations that some how some way you will be able to use successfully.

I know I used to go to rehab save up all my money while I was there and plan on selling some dope when I got out. But here is the problem can monkeys sell bananas?, no and dope fiends will end up being their best customer.

There is hope one can actually learn how to quit smoking heroin. This can be done a couple of different ways. One way is to taper yourself off of heroin. This can be done by reducing your smoking heroin intake a little at a time; for example, if you are doing 5 bags a day then simply do 4 the next and so on.

Now if this does not work for you then I would recommend that you try heroin detox if you choose this way to stop smoking heroin you will be cared for by a staff of people specifically trained in this area. I would go so far as to say you will be quite comfortable.

Now if you do go once admitted the staff will take you to your room and detox quarters and will explain to you about your detox and will more than likely administer prescription medications to help ease the pain of withdrawing from heroin. This process can take up to 5 days and during this time you will be more or less confined to the unit. I seriously doubt that you will much feel like socializing with the other residents yet.

After your detox is complete you will be moved to the residential treatment unit and provided another room. The goal of this kind of treatment is to give you some recovery tools that will help you to stay clean and sober when you leave rehab and go home.

While in residential treatment you will be required to attend 12 step meetings, lectures, group, and drug addiction therapy. The hope is that you will learn something so pay strict attention because your life really may depend upon it.

Good luck
