i quit using heroin when i was in in-patiant rehab, its very hard to quit using opiates the reason i didnt get on methadone treatment was because its harder to quit using then smack and i figured if i quit smack without methadone then so be it. to quit you first have to be VERY serious about staying off whatever your on, and i mean very serious. half of the battle is in your mind. if its not enough you can always check into in-pateint like i did. the second thing you must do is treat all of the underling disorders (deppresion, anxety...) so your urges to use are decresed. you have to mentally prepare yourself for the horrors of opiate withdrawl (it is one of the worst thing you can experiance). just tell yourself you can beat the fiend. good luck
