Squeaky doors get oiled, in other words go to your local human resource office, hospital, health dept.,etc.. and express your true desires to cure your addictions. There are many resources. I have kicked heroin and many other addictive drugs and I didn’t need inpatient therapy. A good resource is Narcotic Anonymous. For me I wanted out and went on a Methadone detox program(NOT Maintenance).
The best recipe for recovery is desire coupled with support.
Good Luck and I hope it works out for you.
