I have been through both inpatient and outpatient programs. They really help when I go through early recovery. Then after a wile in recovery I can manage with a good addiction treatment plan along with meetings/groups.
The taper down plan sounds good. I suspect it may be difficult to do, but then most everything worthy of ones effort has some level difficulty to it. If tapering becomes impossible, a doctor supervised detox can work as a good option. I've gone through that type of detox, there are short term use prescription medications that help ease the discomfort.
