Its good that you are trying to abstain. There is no need to suffer. There are good deaddiction services run by government now where opiate withdrawals are adequately controlled with medications like buprenorphine, tramadol, some painkillers and benzodiazepines. These are available only under supervision. It usually takes around 2 weeks for detoxification. It will be better if you avail these services as they will make you comfortable and easier to abstain. It will also help in deciding the long term plan after detoxification. I hope your query is answered!
