Have any of you guys ever tried a medically supervised detox? 3-5 days in hospital. I wonder if that would be the most comfortable way of doing it.
I've done a detox called detox5 in the eu it's not pleasant and when I did it over 10yrs ago it cost £2500.Dont get me wrong they do give you meds which make you sleepy but some think your out cold for the whole detox (wrong!).I was mostly awake and uncomfortable and when you tried to leave your bed to use the toilet ect my legs just gave way.Tbh the worst was when I got home I don't think I slept for abt 3 weeks gradually getting more after wk 3!.Everyone is different as i think there were abt 6 of us there and a few were getting up for meals whereas I didn't eat a meal in there as everything tasted disgusting due to the meds they fed you daily.It is obviously easier than a home detox as you can't just leave really as you wouldn't be able to drive ect.I think if it's longer acting opiates your problem is with ie methadone it's harder to say H or morphine..
Peace

I did this last month. I have good health insurance, so it was very little out of pocket on my end. I was detoxing from Oxy and Hydrocodone. I checked in Saturday afternoon and checked out on Thursday afternoon. I simply took the week off from work. They used Suboxone and Ativan (and tapered me down). Also, none of my normal ADHD stimulant medicine and NO caffeine. The first couple days were rough, but by the time I checked out, I just felt groggy. My primary doc put me on XR xanax, raised my Lexapro intake, and I've been supplementing with Kratom. I've also started to get more physically active (long evening walks). So far, so good. I did fill and take my hydrocodone script (had a refill), but have not had anything in about 3 weeks. Kratom has been a lifesaver.
