kicking opiods is exceptionally difficult and while there are certainly cases of people, like above, who are able to do it within a week or two and somehow be ok, the MAJORITY of people will not have that type of luck. The body develops certain tolerances and begins building its own receptors for that stuff that beg for the drug as you come off.
There is a high percentage success treatment called Ibogain that has shown great promise over and above the typical treatments used here in the US (suboxone mostly).
I have been down the road and kicked opiods. But it took many years to get through the whole thing. In the process I buried my 3 training partners. We all started with the simple Nubain hits to kick ass in the gym. But then nubain got so popular that nobody could get it. So it progressed on to whatever the hell we could find. Temgesic, codeine, percs, dilaudid.
My best friend in the entire world died at 29 from a hotshot. He went from 289lbs at 5ft8, to one year later weighing 165lbs strung out on heroine. He tried to quit repeatedly and going to NA meetings only ended up giving him better sources to buy from. He got a bad batch and it killed him.
My 2nd training partner and very very good friend was hooked on all sorts of pills. He ended up taking his own life after being arrested multiple times importing gear and getting caught.
And then another guy that I considered a brother from another. He was the epitome of excellence and much like CVM. Good looking, super personality, smart as they get. But he got hooked into Nubain. Then heroine. He accidentally got a pack of fentanyl and that killed him.
In 10 years I lost 3 of my closest friends.
Staying clean is hard. Every day is a struggle. But it can be done.
