I've read alot about this type of treatment but I don't think it's what it's cracked up to be. First and foremost, you need to WANT to kick. If you think your are done with your addiction after 48 hours and you can just put it past you -- you are going to be terribly surpised. There are 2 main ingredients to an opiate addiction - physical and mental. Sometimes the mental part is much much worse than the physical piece. ok fine -- after 48 hrs you may not have any w/d but you sure as hell are still going to have the mental addiction. I can't remember the exact quote but in the movie Trainspotting, after Ewen McGregor's character goes through the w/d, he eludes to the fact that staying off wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the BOREDOM, DEPRESSION AND THE NON-STOP SUICIDAL THOUGHTS.

W/D is just 1/2 of the battle. Believe me, I know....
