Do you still have access to meds? I keep pushing this because no matter how prepared you are, if you can get your hands on meds the odds are that you'll relapse. You also need to start thinking about your support system; you have to tell your secret. If you don't you'll relapse behind it. And finally, at some point you need to get to aftercare - NA meetings.
One thing that I can suggest that you buy is Ensure. At some point during your detox you may not be able to eat, so drinking Ensure will keep your body fueled.

Why are you detoxing? Have you decided that you need to stop the meds, or have your scripts run out? And I apologize if you've already posted this, but how long were you using and why? Legit injuries/pain or was it more recreational?
Detoxing is just the first step. There are lots of things to do in order to stay clean, if that's what you want to do. All the stuff that Rosy suggested will help, but ultimately time is the only thing that you can count on.

HYLANDS for RLS, MELATONIN, VALERIAN ROOT or SLEEPY TIME TEA for sleep. IMODIUM for bathroom issues.. GATORADE, WATER etc... VERY IMPORTANT to stay hydrated..
Why the wait to quit?
