A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heroin od: The first and foremost is to stop the severe physical withdrawal symptoms from dependence. There is now a treatment outpatient using suboxone. This treatment involved a controlled induction of withdrawal by slowly saturating mu receptors in the brain. The peocess can take two hours with minimal distress and withdrawal symptoms. The next few days using Suboxone a dosage reduction is done.
