unfortunately, as an outpatient, there is very little they can do... any meds that can help they cant prescribe outside of hospital/detox.

i got off heroin many times... with detox and without... with methadone or suboxone and without... it is a *****!

it is very different from getting off any other drug but i totally get it... it is a feeling that is impossible to explain...

but often people told me i was being brave or strong and i think i was just being self destructive... but if you can make it, good on ya...

really, outpatient programs are useless... you just need a good friend, ibuprofin, gravol, epson salts, many heaters, blankets, meal replacement drinks and a lot of strength!

it sounds like you werent too dependent... that is good... day 7 is great. withdrawal is essentially over. detox now only keeps us for 5 days! though as far as the cravings and dealing with life, that aint over...
