I am going to be honest with you if you are thinking about doing a heroin home detox be advised that it is going to be very agonizing. In a lot of cases this is also true even if you go to some sort of heroin rehab. From my experience it can be done either with or without medication. Today lets go with the heroin home detox without any medication to fall back on when things start to get a little hairy.
My suggestion to those of you who are serious about kicking heroin is that a day or two before you intend to stop using heroin you should try to stay awake as long as you possibly can. The reason for this is that it may help you to actually sleep through the worst of your withdrawal.

Another factor that can determine whether you make it through your heroin detox is that you will need some help. For this you can invite a friend or loved one to come and stay with you. I can not tell you how much this can help to know that someone knows the pain you are going through and are in your corner to see that you make it. They are often the deciding factor whether you get clean or not. One reason for this is that when you get heroin cravings they can be there for support. If no one was present during this we would more than likely use.
With this being said it would not hurt to go to your local drug store and pick up some Motrin and perhaps some Benadryl. The Motrin will help relieve muscle cramps as well as headaches caused by your heroin withdrawal. The benadryl may actually help you to sleep, should the staying awake as long as possible idea prove to not help much.
