If you are wondering how to get through opiate withdrawal without relapsing, maybe this will help you.

Opiate withdrawal can be very hard and uncomfortable and this is why many people keep using because they fear going through withdrawal. I think a lot of this fear may be from rumors or the movies where you see the junkie who is having all kinds of terrible withdraw symptoms this is why many people are trapped in a cycle of opiate addiction.

Now if you are thinking how I am going to break this cycle, maybe this will help you because its not as bad as what rumor has it, if done correctly it can be virtually painless; in fact, the best way to stop using opiate drugs would be to go too an opiate rehab.

The first thing you should do is check into a medical detox unit like an opiate treatment center or drug rehab. They will be able to treat your withdrawal symptoms better than you can on your own. The second thing would be to go see a doctor if you're not interested in going to a treatment center. The doctor can help you minimize your withdrawal symptoms so you can wean yourself off of it.

If you decide to go to rehab you can count on being very well taken care of by trained staff members that will help you all they can within reason. They will also be there to talk with and administer prescription medications to help with the opiate withdrawal symptoms. This process can take up to five days but after detox you will have to continue your recovery in residential treatment.

In residential treatment you will be require to attend lectures, group, 12 step meetings, and drug addiction counseling. It is thought that this type of treatment better prepares addicts to stay clean and sober after they leave drug rehab and go home.

I would also have a sound recovery plan in place before you leave treatment because those who do not will soon relapse and if you do not want to go through the pain of opiate withdrawal again I would strongly suggest that you get together with your counselor before you leave and come up with plan.

So if you are trying to overcome opiate addiction contact a drug rehab clinic so you can begin your recovery process as soon as possible. Keep in mind that it is possible for any addict to stop using drugs, lose the desire to use them, and find a better way to live drug free.

Good luck
