Can any doc tell me what's the best way to stop heroin cravings?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A combination of: Medical and social support. The physical withdrawal and cravings can be very intense, and medical detoxification is strongly recommended. This needs to be together with psychosocial treatment - counseling, psychological and emotional support from peers and professionals. A blocking agent (naltrexone, vivitrol) is available, and for many people, a period of maintenance with buprenorphine/methadone.
