Cold Turkey?: A "home remedy" for opioid withdrawal would be amazing. To my knowledge, none exist except Cold Turkey with or without Marijuana. Yep. Weed. The Cannabinoid and Mu-opioid Receptor systems overlap with each other. New Research shows that increased marijuana use may offset opioid withdrawal or reduce the frequency of opioid use. Yes, one may have opioid withdrawal symptoms even if not a daily user.

Many options: There is no single best remedy but I advise a good multivit., Vit C 1000 mg every 2-3 hours, Magnesium Taurate or Glycinate, herbs like passionflower & skullcap, lots of fluids, warm baths & moderate exercise. The homeopathic remedy Nux vomica can be very helpful as can acupuncture. See http://www.balancingbrainchemistry.co.uk/72/Heroin-Addiction-Natural-Remedies.html Less an issue if not daily.
