I'm really really sorry to bump this old thread but I wanted to contribute that might be interesting to those who will use it as a valuable resource in the future:
I once read an old and obscure article published by Jonathan Ott in a journal about using an ultra-low dose naloxone (but I mean ULTRA LOW, as in a few micrograms) to cure opiate withdrawal (so basically skipping withdrawal), to reverse tolerance to opiates and to cure paws.
As I remember, he speculated that naloxone might bind first to receptors that cause tolerance and withdrawal (he was right as there are three Opiate Mu receptors: Mu1, Mu2 and Mu3, the last one being the one responsible for addiction and tolerance). He tried it on himself and published the case report in that article as he was addicted to Codeine.
I don't think the journal is available freely (you must pay or be part of an institution that has a copy or something) but here's the information and link for the
"Obviation of Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome by Concomitant Administration of Naltrexone in Microgram Doses: Two Psychonautic Bioassays" by Jonathan Ott in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs, 2006 (Vol. 38, No. 1).

I'd be wary of holy grails and panaceas but I thought this might be worth a shot as it involves the use of a drug that would be pretty much harmless in the doses suggested (it wouldn't be able to precipitate withdrawal) and to people who're already past acute addiction and just suffering from withdrawal, it wouldn't make withdrawal worse and in people with paws it wouldn't make it any worse; besides there's precedent, as Flumazenil has been found useful in reducing Benzo PAWS and also in avoiding Benzo WD altogether, and is already been used in a detox facility in Italy to detox patients painlessly in one or two days.
I hope someone might find it useful or at the very least interesting.
Congratulations to anyone who has achieved sobriety, stay that way for God's sake and good luck!
