Snorting or injected, it doesn't matter, you have had a steady intake of a heavy drug. you can either try to wean yourself off of it yourself, or find a center to help you. i don't recommend cold turkey- i went cold turkey myself off of a heavy xanax addiction and almost killed myself by accident because my heart rate went crazy and i couldnt stop shaking and shitting and vomiting and it was terrible. my doctors were so mad at me for doing that without telling anyone, they will disapprove of the addiction but help you wean off of it in a safe way. thats the physical addiction anyways. i still get cravings emotionally = /

Physical withdrawal about few days to a week depending on the toxin accumulated inside the body. Psychologically it depends on the length of time you have abused the substance. For instance if you have been addicted and depends on it for a period - you need it regularly just to be normal and take more and more just to get the kicks. The withdrawal fight will be difficult as you will want to give in especially when the physical part is over and your mind starts to tell you that you don’t need to suffer, you just need to do it again to feel good again. The longer you put drugs into your system, the more time you will suffer to rid your body and soul from it.
