You should try to avoid pills, take herbal palliatives if necessary.

Don't stop opiates suddenly.You must be tapered off slowly.You may take something with codeine in it, but i don't know if that may need a prescription? Try poppy tea:buy at least 1lb of poppy seeds:put it into cheesecloth, and pour2cups of hot(boiled) water over it. squeeze the seeds out real well. There is your poppy tea:very bitter.Add honey and drink it fast.

Try salvia divinorum it'll help you with the pain relief and the cravings. A lot of people who use to be addicted to drugs like heroin and morphine are now using it to treat their withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Its primary psychoactive constituent is a diterpenoid known as salvinorin A. salvinorin A is a potent κ-opioid receptor agonist. what is does is it binds itself to certain opiate receptors in the brain called the Kappa-opioid receptor. Kappa-opioid receptor agonists are different in that they provide effective pain control without the dependence and respiratory depression that is associated with the "mu receptor ". drugs like heroin, methadone and morphine attach themselves to the mu receptor. you might call that the "main addiction receptor ".so basically it can replace opiates in the brain thus getting rid of your cravings or withdrawal symptoms. the great thing about salvia is its NOT toxic or addictive in anyway and there are no withdrawal symptoms if you stop using it... good luck!
