I have been writing about ways to get clean from heroin for some time now. I have also along the way encountered many people who want to know how to do a heroin detox.
They may have heard unrealistic rumors about how bad heroin withdrawal is I will say that it can be rough depending on the way you go about it but it can be done and is done every day by addicts all over the world.
Heroin detox at home
Today I will discuss heroin detox at home. This is for the people who simply can not afford to go to treatment for one reason or another.
1. You will not sleep well so insomnia is very likely.
2. I also believe you will have some intense cravings for heroin in other words to use again.
3. Vomiting and diarrhea is a quite common side effect when you suddenly stop using heroin.
4. Stomach and legs cramps may also occur.
5. Goose bumps and yawning.
6. One may become quite irritable and nervous too.
7. Strong desire to use again.
8. This is just a few of the withdrawal symptoms.
Now we will discuss how to actually go about your heroin detox at home. First thing is to tell everyone you know of your intentions to kick heroin at home you must tell your using friends not to come around.
Next thing you will want to do is get rid of any paraphernalia that may be lying around your home. Remember you will have no further use for it and it could be a trigger to take you back to using again.
Next if I were in your shoes and trust me I have’ I would invite a friend or family member over to stay during your withdrawal they can serve as moral support among other things.
OK 24 to 36 hours before your actual detox from heroin I would suggest that you try to stay awake as much as possible this may make you tired enough to sleep through the worst of your heroin detox at home.
Now I would recommend that you buy some Tylenol and Motrin to help with headaches and cramps you can also use Benadryl to help you to sleep. All of this you can be purchases these heroin home remedies at your local drugstore over the counter.
I hope this will be of help to you.
Good luck
