A psychiatrist can help. Be brave and make an appointment to go and meet with one.
Methadone clinics can also help. Look them up in your phone book or
call your local drug and alcohol help line (here’s one 206-722-3703)..
NA (Narcotics Anonymous) can help too and they are free. www.na.org
Prayer can help because God is bigger than you, more powerful than you and more powerful than even opiates! Call your pastor or if you don’t have one, call some churches and interview the pastors. If you aren’t even sure you know who God is, call 1-800-NEEDHIM 24/7.
Soothing baths, herb teas, candles, soft music, friends are all also helpful in getting thru withdrawal.
