Yes there is an easy (or easier) way to withdraw from opiates. Its called taking 1 to 4 grams of Vitamin C every hour for the first 2 or 3 days. Government study which proves this:

Now listen to me carefully, if you go out and buy Vit. C in the store make sure you get
CALCIUM ASCORBATE and
NOT ascorbic acid!! Reason for that is ascorbic acid will give you diarrhea and make your withdrawals
WORSE and will not make it any better.
I used only 1 gram/per hour of Vit. C and got off a bad codeine habit relatively pain free.
How much Vit. C you take will depend on your opiate habit, if it wasnt that bad maybe you only need 1 to 2 grams every hour first couple of days, if you're a total junkie you might need 2 to 4 grams every hour.
Play around with it and see which dosage works best for you
