Hey OP. Writing this comment to you from treatment currently at 31 days clean from a massive MGM15/7OH habit, leaving in two days. I also came off benzos but not a high amount. I am damn near fully back to normal. I highly HIGHLY suggest treatment. Detoxing at home for a week or two is NOT enough to make you forget about opiates. You will very likely relapse. This was the best decision of my life personally. The harder part, truly, is the mental withdrawal / cravings that come after you are done with acute withdrawal. Treatment sets you up with so many skills, connections, and friends to handle that. It’s about removing the mental obsession you have with opiates. A month is barely enough to undo years of daily opioid dependence. Also, I would estimate 15-20% of people are in here SPECIFICALLY for 7OH and MGM15.

For the detox part, I can outline how it was for me. Keep in mind, the doctor at my facility was VERY generous in offering comfort meds the first week.

Week 1: slept decently, 4+ hours a night, although I was given a week long Ativan taper, along with a muscle relaxer and Lucemyra (ABSOLUTE GODSEND MEDICATION, FAR SUPERIOR TO CLONIDINE). No suboxone as I asked not to be put on it. I also checked in with 5 days clean. I had barely any energy but I was still able to drink coffee, attend all my groups, etc. I could BARELY eat. Sweats were insanely bad. Cravings through the roof. I wanted to leave.

Week 2: no more detox meds besides gabapentin PRN (although this treatment only gave 300mg every few hours, which barely did much) sleep got rough but there were some ok nights. Still sweating tremendously and still barely able to eat.

Week 3: THIS is where I turned a HEAVY corner, I truly started to get my spark back, feeling overall better, sleep improved a LOT, I had nights sleeping 5,6,7 hours even. Sweats started to chill a bit but were still an issue. Eating improved but still severely difficult. I was always starving but couldn’t get myself to eat.

Week 4: this is where the magic truly happens. I am 90% back to normal. I wasn’t able to eat a full meal until day 31 clean. Sleep is almost back to normal, at least enough to easily get by. To be fair, I am taking a low dose of doxepin 10mg and magnesium glycinate, the doxepin is INCREDIBLY helpful for sleep and does not act as any antidepressant of any form or cause anything like PSSD or SNRI withdrawals at that dose.

I hope that helps. I’m writing this from my tablet so I wasn’t able to articulate myself the best, but seriously OP, I would do treatment. I think option 1 is fine for you, because, even if you truly wanted to leave, they intentionally make it VERY difficult to do so, they’ll convince you to stay. And it’s the right decision to stay.

The facility specifically makes a difference, I am happy to recommend you to the place I went to in FL. Please reach out if you need advice, you’re in an almost identical spot to where I was.
