Can be prescribed: Clonidine helps with some of the physical symptoms of opiate withdrawal, so it is sometimes prescribed to addicts trying to get clean.

Getting Clean: Yes, under the supervision of a physician and detox program to safely help a patient get clean and through the risk of seizures during withdrawal. It is not safe to take without supervision or prescription.
