Opiate withdrawal is usually not dangerous but it can be if there are complicating factors, especially if they involve dehydration and/or poor diet. In particular, Methadone can be fatal if you stop using a large amount of it cold turkey. Add in the eating disorder and I think she needs professional help. Just my opinion.... @ Margo – I would take her to an inpatient rehab, the eating disorder complicates the whole thing and also makes it a bit more dangerous.

She also has an eating disorder which she is receiving treatment for. Any advice before we start. She has a methadone script and key worker but is still using most days. She wants to do it but is scared she will stop eatiing again if she stops using. Vicious circle as she thinks she'll get kicked of the eating disorder support if they know she's using. Any suggestions please I really want to help her succeed ... I want to help my daughter do a home detox. She also has an eating disorder which she is receiving treatment for.
