Help with Beating opiate addiction

[mickenator]

Swim has been an opiate addict for about 16 years and has come to the end of there tether, swim has got to the point were there body is knackered. In the 16 years swim has only done there withdrawl and got clean once when they where in jail, but swim knows the good feeling swim got from being clean and desperately wants to get it back. Swim also needs to get clean due to health problems caused by there drug taking, a year ago swim was diagnosed with hepatitus C and has been told that there liver is shot. But when swim makes the decision to stop madame opiate keeps caling them back, what also dosen't help is that swim is perscribed DF118's for there Carpul Tunnel Syndrome and knows that they also need to stop these if they are going to get clean( just not looking forward to the pain ). Swim would be gratefull to anyone who could give them advice on whats best to do as swim really doesn't want to go on another medication to detox but can't do a full blown withdrawl as they have to work every day. Also what bothers swim is that they aren't getting any younger and swim doesn't know any addicts who have lived to a ripe old age.
