Check yourself into a center.

Answer by Lynn K
Rehab that promotes no step down (this can be dangerous if you’ve been an addict for a long while. Going cold-turkey will likely put your body in a state of shock, so please do not do this somewhere where a doctor is not present).

Go to Canada and get Ibogaine treatment ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibogaine ) and psychological treament for the non-chemical dependency that will be left over.

I’m not an expert, obviously, so it may be better to talk to a doctor who may know more.
