Opioids best way to get off oxy/heroin?

[SteeleyJ]

It depends on how bad your habit is and if you'd tried in the past and have failed.

If this is a short duration habit, get some benzos and stick it out.

If its a long term habit with many relapses you might want to consider something like suboxone.

I honestly don't think you have much experience with kratom, otherwise you wouldn't be making such a ridiculous post. Just because something didn't work for you doesn't mean it won't for someone else.

For real. Have you ever tried kratom Mr. Eight?

 

[Eight0Eight]

^ Yes.

I lol'd.

Then went and got some proper drugs.

i've tried kratom and been on smack....kratom is legit and i can still feel it even after iv'ing some dope the weekend before

Suboxone is definitely better than cold turkey. Whether you want to do it a short detox with it or have the stability of being on it for some longer time frame is the real question.

so it sounds like you have only done it once or twice and didnt like it this could just be you i mean i have never tryed it myself but alot of people swear by it for kicking opiates also he is trying to avoid "proper" drugs so kratom might be a good option for him

This isn't a productive thread.

There are multiple options for different people. Buprenorphine really did work for me, I haven't used heroin for 20 months now. Just like 808 said, I don't think about using, I don't hang out with users, etc.

But for 808, to get to the same place, he needed methadone, and it works for him.

Other people can do it cold turkey and may even be set back by taking ORT medications.

Some of you here are reporting that kratom worked for you. For others with lighter habits, benzos may be of great assistance. There's no "best way" for all people. It varies. For other people, psychedelics, Ibogaine or other psychedelics, have been very effective as treatment.

The transition from buprenorphine to methadone is easier than vice versa, but that's not to say you couldn't easily relapse after using methadone, and then get on buprenorphine, which would probably be just as easy. Taking buprenorphine while on methadone is a bad idea because it will cause precipitated withdrawal.
