Hi welcome to BL :) judging by the seriousness of your story I doubt you'll receive any negative feedback on this site. I'm new also and I've gotten nothing but niceness and people that want to help.

I don't really know how to offer you help. I'm addicted to heroin so I know about being sick but yet I have not been strong enough to quit. All I can really offer you is the idea of suboxone/subutex. You go 2-3 days (or 24 hours depending on metabolism) and you take the sub and it alleviates all feelings of WD. Its also used for pain management bc the active drug in it,buprenorphine, is a partial agonist. Which means it binds to the same receptors as opiates so you still get the relief of having them in your system but you won't feel "high".

There's others on here that know more about it or you can use the sites search engine and look up older posts regarding bupe and you'll find all you need to know (:

Hope I was able to help! If you ever feel the need to talk or vent feel free to PM me.
