After detoxing from morphine how long can I expect the withdrawals to last? Any help would be much appreciated.

No telling....there are many variables and everyone is different. Are you planning to detox? Do you have medical assistance? Do you understand the differences between addiction and dependence?

If you are simply dependent on MS, you'll be able to taper off. Addiction is another story. Acute withdrawals last in the neighborhood of a week, but PAWS (post-acute withdrawal symptoms) can last years. Opiates are a particularly nasty addiction with sky-high relapse rates.
