There are a few ways to quit heroin: However, I can assure you, that no matter which plan you decide to use, there will be a battle. There will be a war. You’ll be going through a constant battle within your mind, body and soul. And this battle will continue on for a very long time. It wont be easy, but it can be done! But if you can just start pushing yourself and start building momentum to start trying to quit and put everything you got into this then I promise you, you will quit heroin, stay clean and turn your life around. And no matter how many times you’ve failed in the past, if you want to be free then you’re going to have to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try again. And this time, try with all your might, all your heart, and all your soul - because that’s what it’s going to take to quit this thing once and for all. This first step may seem unnecessary or impossible for some. But I can assure you, that executing phase 1, step 1, will bring an almost instant change to your daily life as a heroin addict. This will put a stop to the madness or at least slow it down. And in the fullest sense, it just might save your life.
Therefore, be honest. For it is more important to be honest than it is to quit heroin. Coming clean' is actually for your own good. It’s for your own protection. Your overseers will keep a watchful eye over you making it difficult for you to go out and use from here on out. They'll help protect you from destroying yourself any further. And by coming clean, you won’t have to live a double life any longer. Everything will change in an instant if you just 'come clean'. And last but not least, beg them to help you. Beg them to help you quit this nasty heroin habit once and for all. If you've been truly sincere in apologizing to your loved ones, and if they have any ounce of humanity at all, then they'll help you. They will forgive you and help you in any way that they can. However, if you have to do this on your own, then get ready for the greatest battle of your life. It will be you against yourself. And in the end, it's going to be you who gets yourself out of this mess and no one else. It will have to be you who decides to crack down on yourself and force yourself to do what is right and refuse to do that which is wrong. And if you have no one at all, or no one whom you can confide in then I will be more than willing to go through this battle with you every step of the way. I'll be there to help, encourage and support you each and every day. But it's up to you to decide once and for all to quit this thing and turn your life around. No one can do it for you. You have to do this yourself. But you can do it. I swear you can! And what you do now, will determine how the rest of your life turns out.
Plan A, quitting heroin cold turkey, should always be your first choice. I realize it's easier said than done and it can also become dangerous for some. However, quitting heroin cold turkey, as painful as it is, has always been the right way and best way to quit heroin. Because once you quit heroin cold turkey then that’s it, you’re done. You wont have to worry about quitting heroin first, and then weaning yourself from other medications like Methadone or Suboxone which can become just as addictive as heroin, if not, far worse.
WARNING: Pregnant women should not attempt to quit heroin cold turkey as this may cause major brain damage and possibly death to your unborn child. Please read my article, “Quitting Heroin While Pregnant” for further details and instructions on how to quit heroin while pregnant. Now, if you try Plan A, give it all you got and still cant make it, then by all means, don't give up and don't slow down. Move on to Plan B, quitting heroin warm turkey with the help of lesser evil pharmaceutical drugs such as Valiums, Vicodins and others. When quitting heroin warm turkey you'll be doing everything the same as if you were quitting heroin cold turkey but with the help of 2 'lesser evil' pharmaceutical drugs such as Valiums and/or Vicodins or whichever low level benzos or opiate drugs you have available in your country for anxiety and pain. When executing Plan B, you'll want to wait until your body goes into full withdrawal from the absence of heroin (12-24 hours) and then take 1 10mg Valium and/or 1 10mg Vicodin every 4-5 hours. Then relax in the bath tub filled with hot hot water and allow time for the drugs to take effect. (20-30 minutes)
You'll still feel withdrawal symptoms such as mild cold chills and irritableness even when taking Valiums and/or Vicodins, but your pain and suffering will be less when quitting warm turkey compared to quitting heroin cold turkey without such medications. However, as with most drugs, try not to use these meds for more than 10 to 14 days as Valiums and Vicodins are addictive drugs as well. Use them sparingly and only as a crutch to get off of the heroin and then start tapering down after the first 3 to 5 days. To learn how to obtain Valiums and Vicodins, and how to quit heroin warm turkey then please read my article, “How to Quit Heroin with Meds” and then just do it!
Suboxone, (Subutex) a partial antagonist, also relieves withdrawal symptoms but yet does little for cravings. Yet both of these medications are highly addictive as well. Therefore, you would be much better off starting off at the lowest dosage possible and then begin to taper down by day 7 to day 10. Try not to stay on any of these meds for more than 30 to 45 days, regardless of what your doctor tells you. Doctors and clinics will keep you on these medications for many months and sometimes even years, thus creating a whole new addiction for you or your loved ones, and that's no way to live. (The sooner you get of these meds then the sooner you can truly move on with your life). When quitting heroin with Methadone or Suboxone, success is more likely when accompanied by counseling from a trained therapist or attending NA meetings. Look for your nearest NA meeting being held in your area and then start attending as soon as possible. Anyone can quit heroin with methadone and suboxone, but you'll still have to battle that urge to use. You'll still have to get used to living without heroin in your life day in and day out. And that takes time. But you'll have to do everything you can to keep yourself busy each and every day to keep your mind off of heroin and on your new, drug-free life. To learn more on how to quit heroin with Methadone or Suboxone then please read my article, “How to Quit Heroin with Meds” and then just do it! Now... if you try Plan A, Plan B and Plan C and still cant make it then you may want to consider and look into Plan D - Quitting Heroin in a Drug Rehabilitation Center.
Most good rehabs are expensive costing anywhere from $3,000, $10,000 to $20,000 and more for a 1 to 3 month stay. And not many people have that kind of money nor have medical insurance to help cover the cost. But if you have the money, and/or have medical insurance to help pay for rehab then by all means, find the best treatment center you can find and admit yourself as quickly as possible. Furthermore, with this new (U.S.) government health care reform plan, you may have a better chance of obtaining insurance and thereby be able to admit yourself into a first class, drug rehabilitation center. And if your insurance will cover the cost then don't hold back - shoot for the best. When searching for the right treatment center, go far, as far as you can. Out of state or cross country works best. Down south in sunny Florida is even better. The sunny warm weather works wonders. The farther you go from home then the harder it will be for you to call it quits, pack up and go home, which happens more often than not. Make sure the drug treatment center is in a secluded area, away from the city. It would be great if the facilities had a park, benches, trees, walkways, trails, paths etc. A nice natural forest environment soothes the soul. You can even choose beach front treatment centers with beautiful ocean views - take your pick. The nicer the place, then the longer you'll stay and feel good about it as well. Check for amenities such as fully equipped gyms, saunas, pools, basket ball courts, running tracks, etc... The more they have to offer, then the more entertained you'll be while you're there. Plan on staying there for as long as you can or for as long as you can afford. 90 days works best. The longer the stay then the better your chances will be for changing your manner of thinking and staying clean for good. To learn more on how to quit heroin in a drug rehabilitation center then please read my article, “How to Quit Heroin in a Drug Rehab Center” for step by step instructions and then just do it! Either way, whichever path you take, there will be a battle. And I can assure you, that this will be the greatest battle of your life. So plan wisely and then execute your plan with full force. It's all up to you now. Your life is in your hands. No one forced this habit upon you and no one is going to take it away - no one, but you. But don’t worry. And don’t be scared. You can do this! I swear you can . You can actually use this opportunity to quit heroin, stay clean and finally turn your life around, once and for all. You have to do this. The rest of your life depends on it. You now have a little bit of life in you and you're still standing. You've made it this far, so whatever you do, don't slow down now. Keep pressing on and keep moving forward to a new and better life! So get ready, choose your weapon, and then fight for your life- and this time, WIN!
