Heroin Addiction Recovery

Most clients know from previous occasions that abrupt cessation of their heroin can have disastrous withdrawal consequences. Using opiate replacement medication gives one's neurology time to adjust, and time for the nutritional alternatives to build up in their system. For heroin withdrawal, this can comfortably take place through the use of Suboxone and endorphin building nutrients in one month. The person generally replaces the heroin they are on to an equivalent level of Suboxone, which is very taper friendly, and then tapers the Suboxone to zero. During this time, very specific endorphin building nutrients are delivered. It is due to the lack of endorphins that a person feels the pain of withdrawal.

How does nutrition affect withdrawal from heroin?

With heroin use, the body's production of natural painkillers has been shut off. The brain recognizes that a painkiller is present in the body, so it shuts off its own natural supply. When the heroin use is stopped, without a pain buffer, even light touch is painful. Natural pain killers also quell the stretch pain of digestion, so without them, digestion is painful. Our endorphin-building nutrients rapidly convert to endorphins, and the result is an amazingly gentle heroin withdrawal.
