In a few hours, the sweating will begin, the pain and anxiety of withdrawal. For the next two weeks, he and hundreds of heroin addicts like him will stay chained to their beds and be fed bread and water. Brutal as it may seem, this is a desperate grassroots response to Russia's escalating drug problem.

This is absolutely insane. A person going through withdrawals gets extremely restless, will be throwing up and having diarrhea, and the metabolism will get extremely fast, hunger will make withdrawals so much worse.
Literally every single one of those people will have PTSD, I bet the suicide rate is enormous.
well there gear there must be weak as f bc there not even really sick
@@davechristian7543 Maybe they didn't want to show it on camera. Even if the gear is shit it will still be brutal as hell.
@Dave Christian not even really sick? Lmao have you ever been through withdrawl?
You have to already be nuts in the head to try putting that garbage in your body in the first place. Seriously no sane person would even consider it!
@@davechristian7543 I saw a You Tube vid of a similar setup in Kabul where the heroin is very pure- and there was no shitting and puking shown there, either....apart from one poor old boy who crapped his trousers - the Taliban were rounding up addicts from the Pul-e-Sukhta bridge and elsewhere- literally capturing them and enforcing WD on them.

SUBOXONE XANAX AND LOTS OF WEED NOW IM 8 YEARS NO H
Albert's 6.0 Powerstroke I’m happy for you! That’s great to hear!
Alberto Sassoon Kratom will help you withdraw from any type of drugs. No withdraw symptoms. I buy from Kwik Botanicals. You must set up an account to view Kratom. G. Thai is the best. They are also the least expensive online.
Bread and water? Nothing like starving the body and giving it NOTHING to fight the addiction with. Dayam!!
Substance is the key without its going to be twice as worst.
Right? At least give them nutrient dense shakes.
at least add some orange juice to that. that's all you'd really need in those stages. wouldn't be able to keep much else down anyways.

The restless leg and arm syndrome would drive a person to suicide expecially with being cuffed to a bed
Ronald Forrest I had nasty withdraw systems from a medication I was actually prescribed for over two years. For some reason I was ignorant to the fact that I'd have them to that degree. I thought I'd be moody and a bit uncomfortable. Nah. Full blown withdraw. I felt like an addict. Essentially, I was. But anyways.. People call it restless leg syndrome but it's more like restless body syndrome. I'd wake up punching and kicking at the air. This unexplainable feeling throughout my entire body that made me with for death. Almost felt like my entire body was seizing up and I was going to have a seizure or some shit. If someone handcuffed me during that time..fuck. If I wasn't able to get up and do jumping jacks or run in place, I wouldn't doubt I'd get to a point where I would just start bashing my head on the back of the bed or anything I could, hoping I'd kill myself or knock myself out. I would be wishing for death. No doubt about it. You have to move. I would be begging every and anyone I saw to just kill me...I could maybe accept it if I was on some sort of chain, as barbaric as that sounds. But I'd have to be able to get up and move around. I literally cannot fathom not being able to. Even now, it gives me anxiety just thinking about it and I haven't taken that medication in a very long time. And never will again. That shit is scary.
Brianna Gordy exactly!! I,myself is also an Heroin addict for about 5 years now,when i had a withdrawal symptoms i need to move my whole body doing jumping jacks or something like that..for sure.
I cannot understand how they can endure the pain with handcuff on I'm sure I Can't..
I will neva understand how they can do that!!!
Zonunpuia Ralte Right? That just seems so...tortuous. You have to move. I can't fathom not being able to run in place or do jumping jacks. This honestly seems rather counter productive to me. These people are going to fear seeking help for the rest of their lives.. Anyways, I hope you're doing well. Good luck with your journey towards and into sobriety.
I was too busy puking up bile and living on the toilet to do jumping jacks... I'd get restless leg but I'd just writhe around. I could barely get up
Kayla Braidic we all deal differently i guess
Good God almighty ,,,unless you've been through severe withdrawals you've no idea how being fuck ing chained to a bed would be the most horrific ,anxiety filled ultimate nightmare a human could go through ,,,,,sends chills through my soul just thinking about it
There's nothing to fear except certain death , your not gonna die chained to a bed so it just you weak will beating you
@@sonic1k no it’s addiction… not weak will
@LIZZYinTHECUT tell that to the 22 million people in active use and the 45 million people who are directly affected by it, you most likely have some sort of addiction yourself, coffee, exercise, smoking, Sugar, food. Don’t look down on people when you don’t know what they have been through. Because you are most likely unknowingly part of the 22 million.
Handcuffed to the bed and fed just bread and water? what a stupid idea. When I was withdrawing from heroin I had major restlessness and had to keep stretching my arms out for some relief (being cuffed to the bed would make that impossible).Furthermore getting fed only bread and water is a surefire way to become deficient in nutrients, and while withdrawing from opiates your body loses a lot of vitamins such as B vitamins, which is why it is very important to keep nutrition high.
I used for 6 years. od'd twice. went cold turkey by myself. It's all about how bad you want a better life. and not to die. I wasn't afraid of death itself. I was afraid of being remembered of dying from drugs. and how bad it'd hurt my family. I did it for me. but I did it for them too.
u r a good guy . wish u a good life bro .
Devin playlist 1 Yay for you! Yay for you! Bravo! 👏
Just do heroin again bro, getting the high is the best feeling in the world.
No pain No gain he'll be back, nobody gets out alive. He's on a break for now.
One day at a time... I wish you the best!
I’ll tell you what, my stubborn and spoiled ass went to rehab 3 times in facilities with white linen beds. Not once did I ever truly want to stop doing dope. In my opinion, all of the suboxin, subutecs (not sure if I spelled those right), sleeping pills, etc that I took, really softened the blow of coming off that crap. It wasn’t until I was sent to a “harsh” facility, where I had to come off the hard way, that I really grasped my desire to never experience that pain again. I know it’s different for everyone, but thankfully, that way worked for me.
Kicking suboxone right now.. it's even harder than dope
+many different things Thank you for your comment. I'm working on a story about kicking heroin in this extreme way. Your comment has helped me a lot. Thank you to the OP also.
Tell me where in the U.S are there these treatment facilities that don't use medical assistance to kick drugs? I can tell you there aren't none, unless you're talking about prison... and I know this because I travel the country speaking at treatment facilities and I spoken at about 90% of them...I don't get why people think its cool to lie about this type of shit....Iv'e been a heroin addict for 15yrs, I'm 32, and its not only about the physical pain, its more about the mental aspect....I can tell just from the way you spoke in your statement you have no idea what you'rer talking about....by the way its suboxone and subutex...
That’s really awesome good for u
Adam Vapes No one goes from the street directly to prison in an acute state of withdrawal; they come down first without supervision in city jails and holding cells.
Had a friend whose father did this to him on his request. It worked, but it was such torture. Some people can't deal with withdrawals on their own, so this is the only solution..But this would only work if the person really wants to quit, as there is no point going through this hell and then ending up taking it again.
I had a friend whose father did this too. the son died.
The ptsd will develop
In America most drug dealers are off color and always driving a Chrysler 300 on 22s
That’s a called relapse pretty common you see
Si on peut mourrir d'un Deliriums Tremens si tu consomme beaucoup d'alcool. Ou ceux comme moi qui prennent des benzodiazépine avec de l'héroïne peuvent mourir si l'arrêt pour un sevrage est trop brutal et encore + si c'est une cure forcée.
Man i personally know how hard withdrawals are trying to quit cold turkey but to do it hand cuffed to a bed with your whole entire body hurting and not being able to get comfortable this just makes it a million times harder
I wish you well. I hope your OK now and you've f'ed that demon off. It is the devil's dandruff.

I went to rehab about 10 years ago because I didn't think I could stop drinking on my own. For 15 years before that, I had to drink every day or else I felt like I was going to die.
There was just something about the option of drinking being taken away from me in rehab that also took away that feeling like I was going to die.
I don't know what it is, but having the option gone kind of frees you from the anxiety of having to get it, so I kind of understand the whole handcuffing thing they're doing there. Even though it seems barbaric, it makes sense to that part of me.
Kangaroo Ninja What were you drinking?

This is not really how you kick heroin. The least of the problems with heroin addiction are the worst of the physical detox symptoms.. so you feel so completely sick and depressed it's easier not to use. When it's really hard is weeks or months later. We can see what the drug has done to the brain, if we could, we would see it is long process or remapping the brain. You didnt get addicted over night and you cannot free yourself from it with some time. Generally speaking, the longer you stay addicted, the more time you will need.
So true. We all soner or leater go to detox withaut anything. It happens that you dont have many and you dont still or do somthing else. You suffer and survive. But the worst thing is whot happen with you weks and monts, years leter. That dark depression. I still fighting with thots of suicide and i didnt tuch heroin for years now
Holy shit that suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkks. Not being able to roll around and move is way worse.
B Murphy Russians have a reputation for being tough as nails.
Right. Just an added torture that isn't necessary..
No medical supervision, handcuffed to the bed, beating them, feeding them only bread & water...are they trying to kill these people or help them get better. Like what?.
👍💯
Probably trying to off them fr
TheSantaslilhelper You are referring to tapering down. Parachuting in drug terminology would be breaking down a pill wrapping it in a thin piece of tissue and swallowing it.

I'm 4years clean off a 8year heroin addiction with crack cocaine on the side. I've even managed to have a family in recover and now have a beautiful family and 2 little boys. I remember these withdrawals and this is pure hell. I remember asking my friend please just tell me I won't die as it literally felt like I would. It's awful this is all the facilities they have I'd off rather died then done it this way, with 2 suicide attempts after a day or two in withdrawals I mean that!!
Disgusting
Im glad you recocered. It will be 3 years this summer that i met a beautiful irish italian white girl from new york in hollywood. I was walking around and we met. We hungout that night and exchanged numbers. I dropped her off in her rehab home and we had a date the next week. I saw how addicted she was. So i gave up. I ended up checking out her ig media and found out she od died on heroine. The whole time i would think of her. I was getting private calls 2. But the point is, im glad you were strong enough to beat addiction. Not everyone makes it. Rip alyshia
gratuluji 👍🇨🇿 hello from CZECH REPUBLIC i'm 12 years clean
@daval husen yes, sober
OMG that's just BRUTAL!!! Withdrawals are bad enough NOT being handcuffed to some bed!!!! Only being fed bread & water, your body NEEDS nutrients, vitamins & electrolytes MORE than EVER at that point in time & only feeding them bread & water only makes the situation worse!! Cant even imagine that shit
This wouldn't work. IT is essentially torture. Extreme boredom due to being in bed all day, and the inability to move would drive someone mad. Did it ever occur to them to simply keep them in a facility with a locked door so they at least had the ability to move about?
How can you sh%t and pee when cuffed to a bed????...especially when in opiate withdrawal.
adult diapers
@@bonson9156 Noooooooo
This is so inhumane. You cant just look someone to a bed while they are going through heroin withdrawal. Withdrawal from opioids is extremely painful, not to mention all the restlessness, anxiety, vomiting, diarrhea and insomnia. They can at least put them in their own room and not handcuff them to a bed. Damn.
I was a heroin addict for 7 years,I overdosed twice brought back to life both times by paramedics I put myself and more importantly my family through absolute hell,now I have two children and been clean for 10 years.

@@littlereptilian7580 Naloxone is dirt cheap and in america unless you have insurance you're getting the bill not the taxpayer. There's no need to be rude. Even if some tax dollars do go to saving peoples lives that's a much better use than bombing middle eastern kids.
I find it interesting that they only show the boys laughing and smiling while handcuffed. ..what theybshpuld do is show them in the middle of withdrawal's so people could really see how cruel this really is
I have done extremely well on methadone. No cravings since within a half an hour of my first dose, which was more than three years ago. I had to increase 5 mg last year due to it not showing up in my blood levels a few times, but it's still a relatively low dose at 40 mg. No relapses, and I receive the maximum allowable take-homes, which is 13 in my state. I was the ideal candidate for that kind of treatment, and I can live with the minor inconvenience of testing once a month. My doctors are satisfied and so is the clinic staff, so I see no reason to taper at this time. I wish it wasn't so stigmatized. I credit it with saving my life. I know perfectly well that getting off of it would take much longer (and be more severe) than the oxycodone withdrawals ever were, but I can live with being physically dependent on methadone. The important thing is that I function well at work and in my marriage and family, and that I don't obsess over my next dose, 'use on top', or take my doses improperly to get high and come up short later. Russia should at least give addicts this option, as it DOES save lives and reduces crime and the spread of TB and HIV and Hep C. MMT is cheaper than buprenorphine (and more effective than abstinence-based treatment, if used as it is intended), so I don't get Russia's reluctance to implement MMT. They don't seem to give a shit about their addicts (or about innocent babies born with birth defects, for that matter).
People literally die from withdrawals in prison...their heroin must be much weaker over there or something, otherwise there would be regular deaths in this facility.
It causes heart attacks much more often than people think. And like I said, the users in the video must use much weaker heroin than what's common in the USA, because being forced to quit cold-turkey like that would often cause heart attacks for heavy users.
I know all of this from experience. Alcohol withdrawal is deadly as well; there is nothing false about that.
@@ValCronin yeah your right because I’ve heard people dying coming off very high in
The addiction won't be gone in 2 weeks.
it's about moving through the withdrawal period which is often the most difficult part
No but the worst symptoms will be gone. They will do anything for dope during that but once that subsides they will want to stay clean.
Hoor-paar-kraat my brother did the same thing he took a trip to my grandmas house out of the united state, far from home. There was no way for him to find it where he was. So their was no choice but to go through the withdrawal. Of course my grandma took care of him and took him to the doctor when ever he felt really sick. He came back home all better with no addiction .
Prison worked pretty well for me.
Sily de Veen The withdrawal will. After that it is up to them. Can't keep them locked up forever.
I need a Xanax after seeing this
Omaha Joe No kidding...I need like 3! Never done illegal drugs and don't drink but have GAD (generalized anxiety disorder and am prescribed benzo for it...due to my medication I never get panic attacks at all and am able to live a good life being a great mother and a productive member of society...this medication saved my LIFE! I know when I did not take it for a few days it was so bad I wanted to put a bullet in my mouth...The neverending panic attack never stopped day and night and restless leg syndrome...you name it...ended up having a seizure. I do not recommend stopping anything " cold turkey" just not safe.
However from what I know kicking heroin or opiates (narcotics) it is hell but only for 2 weeks.
Benzodiazepines....people take years to quit and I don't get why because they were prescibed it for a good reason...I heard some people end up killing themselves and cannot function for years!!!
I wish they invented something for anxiety disorders that was not physically addicting. It is basically " maintaining/ stabelizing you" so you can live a life but anyone who cuts a person off these meds cold is either very ignorant or very evil. I had a er dr send me off that time my purse was stolen and she let me leave the ER with Nothing....glad I did not drive because if I had the seizure I did with my dad in Sam's club parking lot I could have mowed down children and families and would NOT be legally held responsible but the hospital sinnce I came to in the ambulance and went to ER that way. Word gets around and the bitcg DR who allowed me to leave in that condition without anything to prevent a seizure or any instruction ended up FIRED after that because she was new and all the nurses with seniority were against what she did ( or did not do...Her JOB) so obviously they were scared and KNEW she was a huge liability. TOO bad for her going through years of medical school and wasted it because now she works at Applebees but it is goid for her to learn ro serve people... builds goid charachter.

I'm kinda confused. Is the heroine way different over there or something bc normal detox includes constant puking and shitting
Naa. They r just Russian. The only withdrawal they feel is being withdrawn from their families.
No it doesn't. Not for everyone. I kicked more times than I remember and the only time I ever puked or shit my brains out was with precipitated withdrawal taking Suboxone too soon after doing a shot of heroin, back when I was using 3-6 grams a day & had to do a shot every 3-4hrs. If I went 5 or even 6hrs I'd start feeling withdrawal. Probably did a 1/5g shot at 7am & by 5pm thought I was in withdrawal but I clearly wasn't. Last time 2 times I kicked was "thanks" to really cut or fake dope. First of those I tested for a small amount of opiates and a "boatload" of the barbiturates (I wasn't surprised, as I wasn't really good the dope I was buying. Just thought I was keeping myself out of withdrawal), and the second of those I would do a shot at 7 p.m. one day and I could go on till 7 p.m. the next day and still not really feel any withdrawal oh, so I would guess the dope what is super super super cut and it was just a psychological thing.

How do they go to the bathroom ? Isn't it a fear of blood clots if they stay in bed all day ? Just curious.

What a brutal way to handle withdrawal. I couldn't even imagine being shackled into a position and stuck that way for days on end. That's another level of misery. Being shackled like that would make a padded windowless cell seem comfy by comparison.
Russia's a brutal country. Brutal culture.
Omg I have detoxed from heroin a shit ton of times and I would never ever ever do it like this... I have locked my self in a room but would never lock my self to a bed...and those guys that kidnap and kill dealers holly shit... that's not going to help anything
I’ve detoxed 3 times and between being hot cold, restless leg and not being able to sleep I couldn’t imagine being cuffed and not able to just get up and move not to mention the depression and all the other emotions that you have it’s as much physical pain as it is emotional I think I’d honestly try to kill myself if I was in their position. Also I puked and shit myself constantly when I was withdrawing so did they just not let them go to the bathroom or what?
Those are Slavs bro. They don't feel that much pain as Anglos and Changs

It's not just in America. The opiate epidemic is a worldwide issue. These sick people need long-term help, as detox is just getting clean. Staying clean is a real issue. My brother died after failed attempts at sobriety. Addiction is chronic, debilitating, progressive, incurable, and fatal. Those are attributes of disease, which heroin addiction clearly display. They need to come up with a cure.
Or clean drugs
The cure is not being weak and taking drugs …

heroin withdrawal plus being cuffed to a bed would be worse than anything else i can imagine
When you get through that you don't want to go back
Why the fuck they are handcuffing them. Just let them free in a room that is locked wtf... lmao
Yes, but i mean, being chained on a bed is just savage. Just let them free in a room with no windows, locked up, with a computer or something lol
So you want a violent maniac beating himself and others and doing anything to get his fix?
It's probably the most space efficient way to do it. Plus this took place in rural Russia in 2000, I doubt many people had access to the internet then.
Withdrawal makes you desperate, but violent not so much. Usually way too weak and malnurished to do much harm to anyone but yourself. Although given the right circumstances and the right hardware, there are plenty of violent crimes committed to stop the so called "ILLS". I feel like the handcuffing is used as a reminder of how terrible the detox situation can be. Honestly for a Heroin addict and I'm speaking as one in recovery after 20+ yrs of using. Multiple methadone programs, Suboxene, cold turkey kicks in Baltimore central booking cells. The euphoric recall ALWAYS overrides the horrific memory of the kick. It's like our brain has a built in forgetter when it comes to extreme pain but not extreme pleasure. I would imagine child birth is similar, and please let me preference by saying I am in no way comparing the selfless and painful experience of childbirth to the self inflicted pain of Heroin withdrawal. What I do believe is once a mother is through the extreme pain if delivery and experiences the joy of holding her baby and caputuring that love I'm sure the pain seems secondary to the tremendous joy she feels. That shot of dope will always override the pain of withdrawal. People quit when they are ready forced detoxes, handcuffs, prisons, mass extermination (Present day Philippines) none of it works. It's an individual decision.
Shawn Fedele ..I absolutely agree..you quit when you are ready....but for someone thats been through natural child birth and withdrawal's. .I pick child birth
That makes it unnecessarily harder why not just close them in a room.. (that has a toilet as well obviously and a bathtub and sink) and feed them normal food instead of bread and water... I mean I am not a heroin addict but I would find it hard AF to be handcuffed (especially both hands ) on a bed for weeks and having to eat only bred and drink water... if you add to it the suffering for wanting a fix it really makes it more unbearable without any reason...
If you want to ensure that they dont steal money from anybody and find a fix just lock them in a room.
Was on it for about 15 years I have been clean for 3 and a half now
Him laughing....in early WD 'laughing' is quite common...as the emotions awaken.
Lol
First off, my dad died from alcoholism. That was terrible, and one time before he tried to quit with the most awful withdrawals I have ever experienced. My best friend is a heroine addict. It's been 19 years, and it's just detrimental. But how the heck or what do these people think they're are going to get handcuffing a human to a bed? Idk this is horrible, addiction is horrible. But to force a human being to withdrawl (in my opinion) isn t going to work. This is just so terribly sad to watch, but it's so very real. I have saved my best friends life so many times, scary that was indeed. Now, however, no one knows where she is, or if she's alive. I pray everyday no one has to go through this.
I didn't physically go through withdrawl, however being involved and experiencing it was enough.
Alcohol withdrawals are life threatening. Heroin withdrawals are not.
Yeah you can die from alcohol withdrawal but with heroin withdrawals you just wish you would die. Having been through both I found the opiate withdrawal a much tougher process even though I was at more risk going through the DT's and I can't describe how bad that was but everyone reacts differently in their own way.
Wow sounds like our experience is paralleled. My best friend disappeared for 4 yrs she was an everything addict and prostitute. We reunited and she ended up back on the streets. Very sad life. She was killed last December. Missing her deeply.
Bless you all . Good luck
Its easy to tie someone to a bed for two weeks... But how do you stop someone relapsing when they are free?

Oh my god dude. This is cruel and unusual punishment. Tge restlessness that comes with detoxing even it a rehab with comfort med is horrible. I uses to have to walk the halls for hours while not getting sleep for three days. Being handcuffed and restless could make a person become psycotic.
They need to be hooked up to ivs with that. Dehydration is one of the serious side effects of withdraw and without iv treament they can die. Bread and water by istelf aint gonna cut it when your throwing up every 5 minutes.
This is insane
One word: Iboga. The Iboga root has been proven to greatly speed up withdrawal and reduce craving.
Only if they weren't selling the treatment so expensive, I'd be the first to go there!
This is an amazing documentary, God bless that man and God have mercy on the sick and suffering.
As a country or society, You can basically force a drug addict to get sober. The thing is that without proper care and support after, all of them will relapse very quickly.
You need to give this people a purpose, a reason to life, without a drugs, that’s the thing. If country or state won’t provide any help after, all of this young people will lose their lives, due to their addiction.
I urge everyone going through wd's to go to any department stores that sell OTC meds and try to find Loperamide (it's an anti diarrhea med) you need to take around a dozen of them at least every day so stock up! but you won't regret it because it will take away 60-70% of withdrawals away and it's super cheap!! I honestly thought it was giving me euphoria for a bit there too.. and you won't be running to the bathroom every 20 minutes.. also take your vitamin B-12 to get a little energy. Going through opiate withdrawal is a literal nightmare and I hope I can help ease someone's pain out there!
Cold turkey is not the way. Taper, taper, taper, and taper down.
Brett Mitchell nopnope.....you don't lose the urge you don't lose the grip ..you lose period!!
Royster Rodgers
apparently you lose exclamation marks.
Sure it works, thats why its the recommended method by doctors in detox etc
Doesn't work mate when I was on it if I have a large bag of smack it gets killed no matter how much I swear fi myself is gonna last.
Tapering heroin would be very difficult, best to stop taking it and use Valium for a week or so. But with pills tapering is the best way
nice head stomp @ 1:50. WTF!
Total w@nkerishness. Horrible.
He was drug dealer though.
The handcuffs are bit extreme. . Just lock them in. . Have separate rooms so when one person sleeps they aren't woken up by the others. . Give them privacy and peace. .
I'd love to know what happens if a case of explosive diarrhea, or vomiting comes on? Sounds like a worse idea than stopping on ones own...
Buckets and cleaning , what else ? both of those are to be expected so i am sure they took it into consideration
I've been offered heroin before but I've never done it!! I'd never touch it.
Good for you. Stay the hell away from it. Its pure evil. It will cripple you.
Damn ! That's no way to detox...If anyone is interested, I offer the opportunity once a month for opiates addicts to recover and stay drug free. We live in a french island where heroin is non existent and have buprenorphine maintenance program for 40$ a month.
Where
Cold turkey is not a solution to any addiction; even if you get off your addiction it is much easier to relapse in the future; slow gradual withdrawal is the best method to get off alcohol, cigerettes, drugs, food etc. That way you are building your withdrawal as a foundation which is much stronger and will deter relapse in the future.
This is a pure torcher
These people can die from withdrawal this is so sad, addiction is a serious illness and it's a battle, I'm over 3 years sober from alcohol, it was hard and I went cold turkey and almost died, had every withdraw symptom and hallucinations and seizures, eventually hospitalized which saved my life
Getting clean is easy. Hard part is staying clean. They got through acute withdrawal big deal, that's the easy part.
“Water and bread” lol
Its the thought of unbearable pain that scares me to go to rehab

Awww, babby spoke his first words!
methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus love your tag name. Not many know what MRSA is 🙂👍🏽
I feel for these people i know what opiate withdrawal is like and i dont wish it on anyone its a living nightmare its like the flu times ten
David Dougher for me the worst part of detox always is to know that just a little of your preferred opiate make the bad symptoms go away instantly..
@@natehazis1414 Absolutely. When you're that sick, its torture knowing that something out there that could fit on the tip of your finger would make you feel perfect again.
absolutley nothing like the flu! people say that, its fucking 100x worse, benzo withdrawal is fucking even worse, I am stuck with both
interesting to be able to see people in actual withdrawal. not a hollywood over dramatization.
Culture shines in these men.
Why do they not use buprenorphine? So much better than this nonsense.
Having others around you doing the same thing would help i think. Its hard doing it alone with no friends or family
And no one's whining. That makes it too - you're aren't going to be the only one complaining when everyone feels as bad and is stoic
god bless all these people
Unless they are chained there for 5 years or so, the success rate will be 10% or less.
That's what I call, cruel and unusual punishment.
Pure Cure.
BIG respect to Egor. God love him.
You can ween someone off by using Darvocet a milder form of Vicodin 72 hours after the last time a person used its safer and they don’t have to get hooked on methadone or suboxone, clinics don’t like that way because they don’t make money off it but they do offer this treatment in hospitals.
Those politicians are the dealers not the boys lying in dirty beds

dayyum russia- you scary.
18 years later. An update would be good..
Cold Turkey is the worst thing to go through but the best thing to SERIOUSLY stop! Sad but true....😔
This is not the the right way to get treatment for anyone and yes I have a great deal of personal experiences myself as well as many years of aiding others in small ways. I haven't ever been a recreational user, but I have a very rare and debilitating condition called cyclic vomiting syndrome or abdominal epilepsy or abdominal migraines. While my use is closely regulated along with my multiple types of specialists and basically multiples of every diagnostic test over more then six years now and even surgery. I was ending up in the ER with a full 10 on the pain scale way too often and even had to move back home from college to have access to the doctors and care I needed. I've seen probably many many Dozen maybe even close to 100 doctors in almost every field especially since so little is known about cvs or how to treat it many were useless and hadn't even properly gone through my large 8 year medical files and tests which is really a prerequisite if a visit is to be of any help and sadly despite being specialists and being told to look over it all well in advance of appointments I traveled quite far for sometimes(which is hard for me) and they would clearly looking though it for the first time and essentially asking me for a oral summary of hundreds of tests meds and doctors I've seen over 8 years which is pointless when I have a special packet prepared for this purpose in every way in addition to the large file of test data etc. Good doctors who spend the time and know what cvs is are depressingly hard to find and legitimate pain management doctors who understand pain is real and not everyone is just drug seeking abusers. Luckily mine is excellent but not everyone can afford a private doctor with monthly $300 cash non insured visits but that's where you need to go for real care since in the current climate doctor are too afraid for themselves even if the case is clearly fully legitimate and needed. The field became so difficult and I need a private pain management doctor or I'd be in the ER weekly like I used to be and unable to function at all. Sadly without any real cure or even many doctors lack of any familiarity with my condition it was many years of grasping at straws and it was basically a random chance is the doctor I was seeing would even be if any possible potential help, and some were depressingly terrible in their jobs. You should really go as long as possible reducing before cold turkey if at all possible (not take a dose the hour before even if your not doing cold turkey and silk get subs or methadone) that's just amplifying the intensity you will go through and honestly we have better ways to deal with this these days, albeit maybe they don't wherever this is at, but they could do better than this especially since there is no medical supervision. People can die while detoxing especially from things like benzos and some other drugs and very bad effects result from this type of extreme detox, it's also likely to very ineffective in any long term sense which is saddest of all. And if these people don't want to quit or aren't truly ready this won't change a thing. We know better and we can do better so let's get out if the dark ages here...
I’ve been addicted and detoxed from well over a dozen meds mostly opiates. Whether it’s medical or not I take such high amounts that it doesn’t matter if it’s medical I have serious physical and physiological addictions stemming from my very severe medical issues, even if they stated from medical needs. Don’t you dare fucking say or even imply I haven’t suffered. Yeah I could have been clearer but I have used my prescriptions at much higher levels to be able to cope with my debilitating medical issues and have had to be detoxed before because of that. But if you have th fucking balls to say I haven’t suffered Contact me like an adult so I can literally beat the shit out of you and we can settle this like you seem to want to ‘mr tough guy’. I have detoxed from all sorts of meds and gone though far worse than that and I have in all of these rough ways like cold turkey as well as detoxed many others and I still have to use opiates today so it’s a constant battle. My prescribed doses are likely equivalent to more than most heroin junkies use in a day. So seriously watch you mouth you little shit or be prepared to back it up face to face. Where do you live around cuz I’d love for us to have a quick meetup so I can pay you what you deserve. Now fuck off bitch, you’re too stupid to undestand this subject or what real suffering is and if you ever had to deal w opiates that way than at best we are even but don’t you dare talk down to me, I’ve spent 15+ years of near sucicial agony dealing with this and I’ll bet you didn’t even see what my disease was actually like before dismissing me. Anyone who responds like you did out of the blue is just a little punk trying to pretend they are tougher than everyone for no reason at all. I’m not a monster so I hope you never do expirience the true pain a lot of us have but tbh I won’t shed any tears no matter what happens to your sorry ass no matter how gruesome. Seriously tho if your gonn keep up that aggressive bs attitude and even worse if you have tried to harass others besides me about it then you’re getting a beat down. Be an adult and let’s meet up, no guns just a fight. I may be emaciated and hurt but I’ll bet I could end you if I had to defend myself to that level. Or you could take a look at yourself and change the piece of shit you currently are for the better!) You’re not tough you’re just a loud obnoxious puppy who needs to be diciplined. If you meant what you said then let’s meet and see how right you are. Or puss out like I expect you to and never show yourself in public again you human garbage. Good day asshole
Btw what makes you such a judge on what is or isn’t suffering enough? What have you ever had to deal with? Probably nothing real...
Are u seriously expecting us to read all that without even separating paragraphs or something
Mspark400 Smith
in case you didn't notice its fucking Russia,poverty and 0 help from the government for these people,there is no alternatives,its the only way for them and its worked on hundreds individuals you idiot.
Mspark400 Smith This is truth though. Health care is bad everywhere now.. If you don't have lots of $$ at your disposal, & you become seriously ill,, your in some serious trouble.. I guess if it happens to you, you'll find out "the hard way", just how easy the health care system is to maneuver, when you don't have thousands of dollars to just throw around... The majority of us don't have that kind of money sitting in the bank..
I hope you find a treatment that works good for you& feel better soon...
2:39 what a fucking angel
I stopped twice for years going cold turkey I was very irritated and flipped out once I basically just swet and tried to sleep while my mind raced
7:23 does he lie down and a needle gets stuck in his arm / jacket???? Dayum
F that! I'd chew my arm off!
surreal heroine I'd just take bed with me or break off the bar and hobble away..
I lived in Ekaterinburg for 15 years, it's not that many addicts in there now, comparing to 90s and there is no more Uralmash mafia gang, at least it's not that big as it used to be. Anyway I moved out of there 3 years ago but still miss it sometimes.
It is a really nice city. I stopped there during the world cup. It's amazing how modern Russian cities are now compared to how backwards they looked only 17 years ago
That’s very sad.
Yekaterinburg is my hometown. In 2000 I was 9yo, I remember smell of drugs and death on the streets.
