Trying to detox of heroin methadone percocet and tramadol

Hi I'm 16 and my name is Luca. I'm trying to detox off of heroin methadone percocet and tramadol. My parental units don't know nor can they ever. So far I've been puking my guts up and a whole other list of crap. Inpatient detox is out cuz like I said my parents can't know. Can anyone help me? I don't know what to do. I really need the help

Hi there- You may get pretty sick so your parents will know then...For now, be sure to stay hydrated. I know you're vomiting so just take A SIP of water every few minutes and don't eat anything. Keep taking just sips and/or some ice chips for four hours and if no further vomiting,increase the liquid.  If you can hold down several ounces of water, progress to Gatorade and some crackers.

You'll need rest and you should have some support going forward. Are you going through this because you want to quit?  Tell us about your brother...what happened?

Ok....so this situation does suck, but i dont think your going to have a choice but to detox, however, if your parents just dealt with your brother oding i am hoping they're going to see the signs....i understand you dont want to tell your parents, but do u think they want to take the chance of having another kid od? The amount of dope thats going to be coming out of you is alot....do u have a friend that can help you? Watch you? You might be feeling the h w/d now...in 2/3 days your going to feel the methadone.
in my honest opinion.....YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM!!! This is what i keep coming back to...i really dont think you have a choice....its too much to come off of safely where no one will notice....you know what i mean....if it was just h, maybe, just methadone, maybe, just trams, maybe....this is not safe. How about an aunt or uncle you can go to?

I asked about your brother because it matters!  Your parents have lost one child and I know they don't want to lose YOU!  You need to ask for some help and I think you know it...

You're confused because you're sick hon. It's hard to make a decision and we understand that so that's why we're making good suggestions to you. Just ask yourself what the worst thing is that could happen if you tell them. Trust me, as a parent, they would want the opportunity to help you so go ahead and tell them.  You almost have to.
