Hello and Welcome to HCM
I can understand your concern but the fact is symptoms of opioid withdrawl are not easy to tolerate without detoxification treatment. For that you should visit a deaddiction specialist in your area for treatment (which sometimes need a opioid substitution therapy) and rehabilitation.
Good Luck
