Kick the Habit Fast

Answered by Lita Perna, MA, Family and Community Counseling

Question

I have to report to jail in 5 weeks to serve 7 months for grand larceny. I am addicted to opiates. What's the best way for me to kick before I need to go in?

I don't know a 'best' way for you. 

Five weeks is not a lot of time.

Check a medical detox program.

Check out Rapid Heroin detox.
