How To Get Rid Of The Of Drug Habits?

My fiance is about to go to detox and get saboxone tomorrow for his habit of snorting vicoden, oxycodine etc and he says that the withdrawls are not what he is afraid of it is the burning he gets in his nose if he doesnt snort the pills. Is there anything we can get him to help stop that pain? I really want this to work and I need to find him somthing.

This is not a common situation. Furthermore, certainly sniffing drugs will cause irritation of the nose--likely drug sniffing causes the pain in the nose and stopping sniffing them will remove the pain fairly quickly in those cases.

There's a lot of mild drugs for nose pain like topical novacaine. Aspirin like drugs (oral NOT SNIFFED) may also help.
