Actually, withdrawal from heroin is a trivial matter. http://www.spectator.co.uk/features/3212846/withdrawal-from-...

Unlike alcohol, for example.



Trivial is perhaps a bit too dismissive.

But, yes, drug and alcohol detox units save the beds for alcoholics (who can die during detox) and not for heroin addicts (who tend not to die during detox).


Actually withdrawal from heroin is hell. You can't die from it but it's very far from trivial.
