Opiate withdrawal : I do not know the ingredients of the pills but it does have useful information in the packet. Any help is good help. The best help would be to see a physician and plan a detox that may or may not include trazadone, clonodine, and/or Suboxone to help alleviate the symptoms. Good luck it is one of the most difficult things you will ever do in your life but the rewards are unbelievable if succeed.

Withdrawalease: Withdrawalease contains multiple nutritional supplements & herbs, including passion flower and lemon balm (calming nervine herbs). I can find only 1 study using passion flower in opiate withdrawal: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/11679027 -- here, adding passion flower to Clonidine was better than Clonidine alone. This is not the same as proving effectiveness of withdrawalease itself.
