Now I am aware that a lot of folks out there want to kick heroin or at the very least they are thinking of kicking heroin and can not afford to go to conventional rehab for one reason or another. This being said I want to share with everyone today of how you can stop using heroin and I call it kicking heroin without medication. This can be done at home using over the counter medication. Sure it will not be easy but it can be done I have actually kicked heroin like this on several occasions.

OK this being said I will also say at this time that if you have been using heroin long enough to get addicted and when we become addicted to any drug when we decide to stop there are going to be consequences no two ways about it. The consequences for heroin are simply going to be heroin withdrawal.

Now I am would just about bet that a lot of people are terrified of the thought of kicking heroin without medication. It is pretty scary I will give you that but you can handle the withdrawal. If you really can not afford rehab then you may qualify for a state or government funded drug rehab.

Kicking heroin without medication

I am reasonably sure most people will attempt this at home, so I am going to give you some suggestions of how to go about it. Like I say with all heroin detox at home suggestions first thing is to invite a friend to come stay with you while you detox. They can inspire you when you are down and keep your mind on the positive things like how much better life is going to be without heroin.

Now when I say without medication as most people will guess I mean without mood altering medications. I am however going to recommend some over the counter medications that can help you. One of witch is Benadryl this will help you sleep. I also would recommend Imodium for diarrhea plus some Motrin would not be a bad idea for cramps and headaches.

This is pretty much the jest of it you will probably be sick for 3 to 5 days depending on how much you were actually using. It can be done hang in there I am sure you can do it. The thing is that this is only the first part of your battle with heroin addiction because now you will have to figure out how you intend to stay clean. There are a couple of very good ways I will share one of them with you today and I have used both and they do work but you have to stay on top them or you will relapse anyway that’s what happened to me.

The first way that you can use to stay clean is addiction therapy. I found this method to be highly successful because I was honest and did not hold anything back I told my therapist everything and this is what you too must do if you want it to work for you.

Good luck
