Default Re: need to find heroin detox in la

Methadone withdrawal actually can last a month or more. Heroin withdrawal will last a week--maybe a little more.

Suboxone is a great drug for opioid users. It blocks the brains desire for the drug as well as offsetting a good portion of the withdrawal symptoms. You'll still get the muscle aches and a little sickness but it's doable that way. Since you said she's been to rehab, she probably knows about Suboxone.

If a person is going to quit, they'll ultimately have to do it themselves. All the rehab in the world won't matter to a a person if they don't truly want to quit.

just my two cents.

cheers,
Benny
