I think it's great that you've arrived at your decision relatively early in your addiction. As for coping with wd, I would suggest trying to schedule an appointment with a doctor (authorized to prescribe buprenorphine/suboxone) as soon as possible -- authorization varies by state, as some states require doctors to obtain a specific license to dispense it. Of course, this option's feasability might be contingent on your insurance and the availability of buprenorphine doc's in your area.
You may already know this, but here is a website listing doctors participating in suboxone treatment by region (it is provided by the pharmaceutical manufacturer of suboxone/subutex):

One last thing, most doctors will be inclined to write an rx for suboxone, as opposed to subutex.
There are many on BL much more knowledgeable than me regarding the differences between the two, but in short, suboxone is buprenorphine with nalaxone added, and subutex is without nalaxone (and generally given to pregnant women requiring treatment).
Nalaxone is added to suboxone for the purpose of decreasing misuse/diversion/abuse, etc. Nalaxone is a nasty opioid blocker, which (supposedly) won't adversely affect the patient if the suboxone is taken as directed, sublingually.
