I wholeheartedly agree with ibizan. Detoxing can be a very dangerous thing to attempt on one's own. We don't know the circumstances of your addiction or what else you may or may not be addicted to.
In the past i have been through many detox & rehabilitation programs for various substances and although i know what meds to use and have access to them , i would never attempt to detox without proper supervision. I also know that the urge to " Go It Alone " is very appealing to us addicts , for we are an independent lot as well as " Know it all's ". That's a couple of the reason's we find ourselves in the position's that we are in.
There are many things that can go wrong while detoxing , like high or low blood pressure , dt's , heart problems , etc
As ibizan said , there is funding for not only detox but for a follow up 2 to 4 week in or out patient program to teach you some coping skills to STAY sober during crushing events in your life , like not getting a job that you have put all your hopes on or a death in the family etc.
Of course , even these programs are not enough and you have to be ever vigilant of " The Beast " for he will devour you when your at your weakest. It is vital that you have some sort of support after completion of a comprehensive program.
I pray that you find the help you seek , Knock and the door shall be opened.......
