Detox at home

Detox at home

I would like to find a way to detox in the privacy of my own home. Can anyone share any info/resources?  I have been taking 7.5mg Lortab 3-4x daily for 4 years.

The key element is an slow taper. Start by taking off 0.25 or 0.50mg for a couple of weeks, if you feel fine, continue tapering the same dose at the same pace, if you feel bad symptoms of W/D go back by .025mg and taper every 3 weeks instead of two, it will take months and willpower but you can do it safely and at home, drink plenty of liquids and look for the Thomas Recipe, it helps, even if what you're taking is not a benzo. Above all remember that this is only my opinion based on all the posts I read here, I'm not a professional.
Good luck and get well soon
