Question about heroin detox?
my aunt showed up last night and admitted shes taken 10 doses of heroin and is now addicted. we got her some valium because she wants to get off but the withdrawls are too intense and she feels like shes going to die, we are going to keep her at our house and try to detox her by feeding her and making sure she has fluids and giving her the valium which i guess works the same way as methadone. does anyone know how long it usually takes for a 38 year old woman to come off heroin completely to the point where she experiences no withdrawls? remember shes only taken 10 doses. i will pick a best answer thanks alot. bye bye

Heroin Detox. Treatment centers.?
I'm trying to write, what is right now a short story, on a girl who is an heroin addict going to a detox treatment center. I've been to substance abuse mental heath centers, but they didn't deal with major things like this. So I was wondering if anyone has been through heroin detox, or knows someone who has, or has even worked at a center. I want to know what the steps are to get admitted, whats the first line of treatment they do, when do they let you leave, how long were you there, how did do you not relapse, how has this affected your life today.Also if your currently or have been a heroin addict, what is was your daily life like, how do you live with this addiction, how do you feel, think, thrive.I know this is alot of question, and slightly invasive, but I've never done heroin, and I don't want my ignorance, to ruin the story.I know that for some people, talking about things is hard, so if you'd like you can e mail me.And do give credit where credit is due, so if i use something you said, i will note it.
