A buprenorphine doctor can easily help with opioid replacement therapies, so can a methadone clinic. Those are opinions along with detox and a 30 day program (where they will highly recommend sober living to retrain you addictive behaviors). The bad part is a lot of those sober living homes do not allow people on opioid replacement treatment into their programs. You would have to do your homework on that in your area.
I’ve been clean from opioids like heroin/fentanyl for over 8 years now. The only thing that really got me through that addiction was an attitude of pure hatred toward opioids and what they had done to my brain and body. Gabapentin and other gabapentiniods really saved my ass and allowed me to sleep. Gabapentiniods are also addictive, but they are one of those drugs you can successfully ween off of, unlike opioids, in that no matter what people say; you cannot realistically ween off of opioids (once your receptors are dependent on that drug function properly) you will have to suffer significantly. There is always withdrawals and PAWS from opioid addiction/dependence no matter how long you taper, and you will need comfort meds to get past the acute withdrawals.
What nobody says is “you have fucked up your opioid receptors so much, that it will take well over a year (sometimes more) to get those receptors back to baseline”, but that exactly what happens with heroin/opioid addiction. I guess they don’t want to scare people into thinking it is nearly impossible for people with addiction/dependency to opioids to get clean (which is the truth). That fact is that opioid addicts have a less than 3% rate of success stopping opioid addiction on their own. The odds don’t get a lot better with medical intervention and opioid replacement therapy (having a success rate of less than 8% even in the most realistic studies).
Success rate of relapse for people that have been medically weaned from suboxone/buprenorphine therapy is about ~8.7 % compared to abstinence from opioids while on buprenorphine replacement therapy of ~47 % success rate, regardless of cognitive therapy included in the opioid replacement treatment.

I’ve been there and have done that, and so can you! Fuck that trap those drugs have over your soul! You should hate opioids to be able to stop them completely! That’s what I did and I was in that small percentage of those that quit opioids.
