my BF had to detox in order to enter rehab. It was nasty, although his DOC is opiates. For a month he would make it to the 2nd or 3rd day and then go pick up enough to stop shaking, Then one day he just woke up and locked himself in the bedroom in his pjs and kicked it, and was dry for two weeks upon entering the facility. He gave me dates to quit too. never did, until one day he just said "(expletive ) this. broke his phone and removed his transportation from himself. He wouldn't leave the house except for church. like everyone says. actions. not words.
