If you're in withdrawal right now
Acute opioid-alkaloid withdrawal is unpleasant but not generally life-threatening on its own. Risks: severe dehydration from diarrhea/vomiting (drink electrolyte fluids), accidental relapse at reduced tolerance (extremely high overdose risk), and mental-health complications. If you have heart disease, are pregnant, or have any other serious medical condition, contact a clinician before attempting unmanaged discontinuation. The SAMHSA line above can help you find a clinician same-day.
