NDMAr antagonist dissosiative drugs, especially DXM and MXE (ketamine would be awesome but it doesn't last long enough in my system for it to be nearly as practical as, say, DXM, and would require multiple redosing throughout the day), have worked wonders for me when deal with acute opioid withdrawal. In fact, they probably have more utility when it comes to detoxing than methadone, buprenorphine or gabaergic drus like gabapentin, pregabalin, benzos and baclofen.
Everybody is different, and most people do not seem to respond all that well to dissosiatives, although I believe this is becaue they are not introduced to them probably and their first impression is simple very negative. But to each ones own, these drugs are just one more tool in the tool box.
What is probably most important, as CH pointed out, is a non-substance related plan, like eating right, exercise, social support, auxilary treatment, professional treament, and so on and so forth. Because that is where sustainable recovery is at, not in some substance (although stuff like SSRIs and other drugs can be very benefitial necessary tools for people with co-occuring disorders and such, I am just saying ultimately it us your social capital that will make your recovery a successful and meaningful one, not a drug).
