You're in a good place at this forum! You've made a good choice to seek help, and to acknowledge wanting to stop. I have never been an addict, but I have a 26 year old son who has injected oxys (and everything else) for the past 6 years. I was with him through all sorts of attempts at rehab, etc. I also worked as a substance abuse counselor for a few years, and as a methadone counselor. That said, detoxing at home is difficult, from what I've seen. May I ask how long you have been injecting opiates? And if you've been using benzo's with them (xanax, k-pins, valium) with them, especially in large quantities, detoxing from them puts you at risk of seizure. When the vomiting and diarrhea starts, you're going to need to be careful about staying hydrated, which is why most people detox in an inpatient setting.
I wish you the very best, and I'll be glad to provide any information I can for you.
