Get checked: Opiate withdrawal can be a serious thing. It would be best to go to the hospital for medical attention. At the hospital they can likely help relieve some of the withdrawal symptoms but also make sure that he is safe and getting all of the proper medicines that he needs as well as keeping an eye on his diabetes and blood sugar. Good luck.
