acute opiate withdrawl

I have been addicted to herion for years.  About six months ago I started suboxone.  It was a miracle drug for me.  I felt like my old self.   That being said, I screwed up and started hanging out with some old 'friends'.  I started to use again.  since that time, I have tried to get back on Sub.  I waited 20 hours and thought I was ready but when I took the suboxone I went into rapid WD.  I was stuck out of town and did not get home for about 10 hours.  I thought that I was dying.  The first thing I did when I got home was use again, I could not stand the pain.

My question is, after I went into acute WD would it have been better to take another dose of Sub?  I was afraid to.  

If you are pushed into rapid WD, what do you do?
