I went to a medically supervised detox inpatient program because my counselor said it was dangerous to do it on my own. When I quit my blood pressure went sky high and I had so many other symptoms that were relieved by the medications they gave me and helped me to be safe. I'm glad I did it that way. I was never able to just cut back, and she said definitely don't quit cold turkey. It only took me 48 hours, with all the medical supervision, and it felt safe and more comfortable than I ever would have been on my own.
