It has a toll free phone you can call and ask where to go locally. Please get help ASAP.

Good luck

Go to your doctor and ask him about a Suboxone program. If she/he is not qualified to prescribe suboxone, go to www.suboxone.com and find a doctor near you. It's a very simple and private way to safely ween yourself off of opiates.

You could also go to a detox program but you will have to be there for around 5 days to complete the detox, and depending on your lifestyle, that may or may not fit.

The first hurdle you have to cross you've already done. You have the determination to get off and that's very important. I don't know how fast you want to get off, or how long you've been on, nor why you are on it but I was on fentynl for three years because of four years of ongoing brain surgeries, and shunt revisions. When I wanted to get off at the help of my Dr. I tapered off but it took me six months to do it safely. But, you could check yourself into a hospital and they can help you get through the with drawl symptoms and put you on medication to block the opiods, but you are going to need help under the direction of a Dr.
If you are going off cold turkey because you don't have any money to buy and can't get to a dr. for help your going to need to be determined, don't give in to the with draw symptoms, This is a horrible experience to have to go through, your going to shake, sweat, possibly even vomit, but drink a lot of fluids and one thing you are going to be most grateful for is that you are going to feel so much better when it's over, you are going to be free from that bondage that you're held captive to, the battle of having to serve that captive addiction.
You really do need to check into a three month rehab program. If this is a recreational addiction you need this - I would suggest a God centered program. This will keep you off, it will help you learn to cope with emotional issues, with sadness, stress, all the things that the morphine has covered. You don't ever want to have to do this again. It really does hurt your whole life, every point of it.
Good luck! And don't ever give up!

There is hope full stop! I have witnessed hundreds of people get clean and stay clean and lead amazing lives. I would suggest a detox facility and from there either outpatient residential or live in treatment. I would highly recommend attending some Narcotics Anonymous meetings. It has saved my life and helped me regain my position in society and garner the love of my family and many friends. good luck you can do this.

Morphine isn't destroying your marriage, YOU are.

If you want help, go see a doctor and tell him or her about your situation. They will give you medical care that will assist you with getting off of Morphine. Remember, you are not alone and this happens all the time....they will know what to do.

You have to take responsibility for your actions. Do not blame Morphine...or yourself... just take responsibility for your actions (consuming the morphine) and realize that you are OK since you obviously have your wits about you to stop!

Good luck.

I'm dating an opiate addict and it is definitely a struggle to overcome that hurdle and to avoid relapse. The first step is truly wanting to get off the drug which I'm glad to hear is your motive. You do need to check in to rehab, attend the meetings, and don't give up. Your wife needs to learn about your addiction and generate an understanding of what you are going through. It would be helpful for her to attend meeting with you (if there is a family night) or she could attend Naranon or Alanon meetings (meetings for family members of addicts- people who are going through what she is). While recovering, you will need a lot of support but and addict know that in the end, it all comes to your own will power and nobody except yourself can cause you to not take or to take drugs. You have to be strong and get everything out in the open. Once you are in rehab, they allow you to sign a consent agreement stating your wife can call to make sure you are at the meeting, ask to hear drug test results, etc. They are there to help you through it as you can't do it alone. YOU CAN'T do it alone. You need support of others and you need to be willing to be FULLY open with your wife or she will have a very hard time trusting you. After my boyfriend allowed these availabilities to me, I felt more at peace. And i disagree with the person who said you are destroying your marriage. YOU are not destroying your marriage but the addiction is. It is either the addiction or your wife and you need to decide what is more important. You both need to understand, too, that it is a life long thing and education, support, and honesty will in the end, help you to overcome your hurdles. Go to rehab. Get help.

I wanted to mention too that there is no quick way to get off morphine. And the withdrawal is AWFUL. But you can do it! There are some drugs that rehab centers can prescribe to help with withdrawal symptoms. Let me know if you would life further advice! I've learned a lot and I can give you a similar point of view as your wife. Good luck!

This is not something you can do by yourself. You need to get in a drug rehab center because coming off of it strait may cause harm. You definately need to be under a doctors care so you are safe. The biggest step you have already made by admitting you have the problem an you don't want to lose you marriage. My hat is off to you. Good luck an may God bless you on those really bad days.
