I have seen a lot of interest in heroin withdrawal symptoms lately so lets take a look at what they actually consist many undesirable things. First of all if you are thinking about kicking heroin you must be prepared for the heroin symptoms you will be experiencing.
10 symptoms of heroin withdrawal that one must deal with when they stop using heroin:
Stomach and leg cramps
Insomnia
Diarrhea
Nausea and vomiting
Irritability
Nervousness
Cold chills or goose bumps
Sweats
Heroin cravings
Restless leg syndrome
Now I do not know how you plan on stopping but if you decide to go cold turkey this is what you will be up against. I know a lot of folks simply can not afford conventional rehab but if you can then that would be my suggestion. The alternative I just mentioned is very hard to do more than half the people give up before they are through because of the terrible opiate withdrawal symptoms. Plus you will be very miserable and this is putting it rather mildly. Now I have explained what is going to happen when you suddenly stop heroin. If you think you have what it takes to stop heroin cold turkey by all means go for it because its not important how you go about it what is important is that you do it.
Ok if you can afford conventional treatment. I would recommend looking into going to heroin addiction treatment. If you go this route you can be guaranteed to be taken care of by professionals. They will use medications to help with your detox. Sometimes they use a drug called suboxone to ease the pain of the withdrawal symptoms of heroin. This process takes a maximum of 5 days. Then you are free to go home but it has been my experience that those who continue there recovery in residential have a far better chance of remaining clean.
