It's absolute hell going through it on your own couch never mind a jail cell.
Yep seems like you know. You could be on an island with 100 naked females, and being waited on by servants , and it's hell😂😂😂
Rob- the withdrawals are a main reason I don't use now. I can't go thru that hell again. The Exorcist ain't got nothing over. I was chucking that bad. 😭
Hahaha the exorcist ain’t got nothing on WD. Hahahaha so tru. Damn head spinning
So true
Thank you for your video. As a nurse trying to understand about correctional nursing and detoxing, this was very helpful. I hope life is going very well for yu
Jail sucks. Jail sucks so much more if you have addiction. You start to withdraw from everything all at once. (Caffeine, nicotine and whatever drug/alcohol you're doing)
I've chucked the methadone over my shoulder a few times ,couple of days later it starts the punishment .😂
Funny in jail i can sleep through withdrawls out here i can't sit still...... i think in jail Your mind knows its over out here you cling to hope😂😂😂
When I was withdrawing in jail I was doing double-time cos I didn't get any more than ten minutes sleep everyday for a good two months. Then I started to get an hour or two now and again, but it was SO LONNNG !

Yes, this is why the only time Im successful at detoxing is leaving town and going far up North.. the physical stuff still sucks but the mental part knowing I didn't bring paraphernalia and won't find a pill anywhere helps
Four people in my county died of dehydration last year. One of them was an 18 year old girl. They don’t give a shit.
I watched the cam of this girl im talking about. She begged and begged for some water for hours. She literally curled up in a ball and died in her cell.
Absolutely horrible.
The jail I was in Santa Rosa FL they wouldn't give you Tylenol even if you're running a fever, they don't care if you ate or not. I past out standing up once and shit myself and they just laughed and wouldn't give me a change of clothes, one person died while I was their and they would just say damn pice of shit junkie's ain't worth feeding. The nurses loved seeing people suffer
Thank goodness you at least got benzos for the first five days.
But for serious benzo withdrawal that can be a small fraction of the total time you’re withdrawing.
I wonder how many out of control alcoholics or benzo addicts die in prison from withdrawal if they only get five days of tapering but they’ve been abusing for years and are still in crisis withdrawal territory. People even die in detox or rehab from mismanaged withdrawal, let alone prison.
That's my fear
I think, besides the physical withdrawals, the mental anguish that comes from fighting the urge is what makes the illness so bad.
This. Noone who's not an addict will understand that hell and endless/helpless inner conflict.
@@sarpsays The memory of what went through my head the days I was trying to handle withdrawal cold turkey is very vivid. That feeling causes trauma when it pops back up.
Hey, how did you finally defeat urges and cravings and get your day one and onwards? If I may ask @@MJP160
I’ve had to come off methadone twice in jail. It’s messed up that they’ll deny you something that on the street can save your life, like it did for me.
Fake a seizure... you will be put in the hospital. I stayed out of jail when I got my dwi because when they wanted to do a blood draw for my b.a.c. I told the nurse that I had a seizure the night before trying to quit alcohol (which was a lie) and they wouldn't let the cops take me.
dude i'm on 50mg now i'm terrified of coming off it. What mg were you on?
@@mgk0586 150
@@mgk0586it's not that bad. Don't jump off from fifty but decrease slowly. I went from 90 down five ml a week until I hit 15 then 2 a week until 3 then one less every week. The last ml I took it for two days and each time I took it I went into withdrawal so those were my last two drinks. It's been around three months maybe a little more. Idk I really don't care what the date was. I was on methadone for 10 years and did every opioid known to man in every way imaginable for 14 years. U can do it, eat sleep good, and exercise will make it easier. The withdrawal comes and goes, keep busy and moving you will be fine
@@mgk0586you better start tapering down. Methadone withdrawals are bad. Slowly start tapering down for the next year or two. You don't want to jump off from 50mg.
You are an amazing human being to have survived this. I have titrated down over years (I literally have lost count) from 135 mgs of Methadone which I took for over 10 years everyday before trying to get off. I have been stuck between 10 - 20 mgs for 2 years now...multiple attempts to jump off, make it 5 or 6 days, and literally feel like I may die and give up each time. Of course, I am older now, and have lost around 30 lbs of mostly muscle in this process. It is brutal to reduce even a milligram or 2 once you get so low on the dosage. There are a few people who have been thru what you described here, and lived to tell about it. Not only did you survive, you appear to be thriving! Youth is a magical gift, stay sober my friend bc it only gets harder with time, and cherish your health! I am truly in awe of your accomplishment!
Well said. It’s impossible to explain these things to non addicts and even folks that have addicts in their families who had front row seats to this stuff. I’m on methadone too. Actually in February it’ll be 16 years. I don’t think I’ll EVER be off it completely. Came close once but I’m not volunteering to go through that again. Most of us can’t do it unless forced. Jail, prison, deployment, job/contract, ect.
@@jpmnky 3 weeks ago I quit everything! I switched from Methadone to Liquid Morphine (not the IV kind, the kind you drink) bc of the shorter half life & withdrawal, then used Kratom to stop the morphine, then CT'd the Kratom. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, but I wanted to be off Methadone sooooo bad. Getting stronger everyday now (I was a personal trainer in my former life). Still taking tons of patience, bc I want to feel fit again. But it is nice to not wake up dopesick.
You are a warrior...most will never understand what you have been thru, but you ARE a straight up winner!!
I've been on methadone for 5 years and idk how I'm gonna get off without going back to street drugs
@@jpmnky if you have a prescription and you go to jail, legally they have to give it too you, when i was booked the nursed ended up taking half my dose and i got to keep the other half, it way hell but a lot better than cold turkey off 130mg methadone
@ayejay2140 it is possible!... when you are finally sick of the methadone and feel really ready it is doable!..Drop down on your dose very slowly as low as you can possibly go then get off but be prepared with things that will make you more comfortable..I'm on day 5 free from methadone.. it has been the biggest challenge of will power I've ever had to go through but I'm actually doing it! I found something that actually helps with the worst of the withdrawal it's L-Glutamine take a teaspoon in 1/4 of bottle of water or juice. I am at day five with and I'm still able to eat and get up and walk around.. it really helps with the horrible muscles aches and pains that make it unbearable while detoxing. And has been keeping my anxiety in check and I've been pretty calm alot calmer than whenever I have tried to do it before and I'm sleeping at night which I usually never can doing this!
This channel is for anyone thinking about experimenting with hard drugs. Thank you.
I remember watching your videos while going through withdrawal LOL even looking at my old comments haha it feels so much better to be over that Loop❤❤
Just found your channel and subscribed. As a former opiate/cocaine addict thats been maintaining on Suboxone for years I've been enjoying your stories.No one should ever have to detox from opiates or alcohol in jail without medication
That’s so much Brandon. That means a lot to me. Yea no one should have to deal with that I totally agree
Get off the Suboxone...get on some weed if you need anything but your still on opiates
This makes me cringe, I have never been through wd in jail but it’s definitely my biggest fear. This is inhumane
Dude I went thru it numerous times its hell on earth, you just know that it's only gonna get worse , depending where ur from though theres shit in the jail, but especially if you've never been locked up before your probably not gonna be able to find it, as I became more familiar with being an inmate I was able to find subs in the jail it still sucks tho and a few days will pass before that happens anyway
My niece is in right now. I am hoping the detox in jail is enough to get her to stop. Im worried she's on a death trip
Probably is, my 22yr old niece died in December. I helped raise her from newborn to 8ish. She was like a daughter to me. I think what's worse is she was on life support for days (she was brain dead) while everyone prayed and then waiting for organ donations to get setup. She saved multiple people.
@@ruthnoya8424 so very sorry for your loss. She's here and still dry TG! 5 months now.
Damn... what you went through was no fun... Sometimes the mental torture is the worst. It is insane and kinda traumatizing how extreme the suffering can get at times. It makes you appreciate the current moment a LOT more for sure.
Ain’t that the truth Mike. Appreciate today being alive and not sick. So tru. Hope
Your having a good day
@@SoberDogsare you still sober my brother
Super fascinating account of your experience! Man I cant even comprehend what it'd be like to go through all of that in prison,,,,, don't know if its intentional, but love all the little touches of humour you put in,,, just adds this touch of humanity that makes your descriptions stand out in ways other similar content creators don't quite...there's a very serious side to all the anecdotes of course, but those little touches of introspective humour really makes your message that much more engaging and powerful... even the way you say "it was....bRRRRUUUTAL" -somehow I'm laughing when you say iy,but with great respect for what you went through at the same time - excellent video and fascinating story as always!
"He brought me a coke and some crackers" - for a split second I was like what?! The police officer brought you coke and crack?? 😅🙈
Hahaha no a soda lol. A Pepsi coke lol. Hahaha he was actually nice
I was in jail in Cambridge MA one time, just the holding tank but they give you McDonald’s! Cheeseburger fries and coke lol I was like WOW isn’t that nice. I usually got a granola bar and some sink water in most stations.
Bro thank you for making this video. It was almost mirror of my experience. Noone can know until they go through it.
I have been a stupid idiot much of my life but I'm so glad I never got into hard drugs, alcohol is more than bad enough..
Would rather be a dope addict than an alcoholic any day of the week.
Not everyone who gets addicted to hard stuff are stupid idiots. My little brother got addicted after a sports injury. He's one of the most intelligent persons I know, smart as whip and can learn anything he puts his mind to. Was in Talented and Gifted in school and many advanced classes.
Thanks for sharing, hope your life’s going well .
Damn that’s a crazy story. I don’t think I would of survived. You’re a strong person for being able to go through all that.
I have a lot of respect for you
And I can see love in you
Thank you - God bless
Love you bro
I was on a high dose of methadone and Xanax for about 15 years. It took a year before i stopped getting night sweats that drenched my clothes and left me freezing when i woke up. I ended getting on subs that saved me.
Damn brother...been there...shits rough
Absolutely my bro
Good vid man, I made a methadone detox video too and mine was very similar
Jails should just let us use in prison. It is ABUSE to keep an addict away from his dope.
Hell on earth
Yes it issssss
Hi from Oklahoma 💜💜
Hey hey Carla!!
I had a six week detox off Suboxone, it was pure hell! Im terrified of taking methadone's or Suboxone these days
That sucks man. Im glad you are clean. Proud of you. A buddy of mine got lucky. He was thrown in jail for a week and a half and the jailers would give him the subboxonens he takes. I think he puts it under his tongue. I guess the county hes in is really good and treats the prisoners good. Ive only been to jail for one hour. Ive never been into drugs so i dont know. But man im so glad that you got off. Take care.
Dude that sucks. I believe it man. Where we are and are mind set def play a huge role in it. How long do u think it would have lasted if you weren’t in jail?
That’s a very good point. Idk man that’s a good question. I think It prob would have been 3 weeks if I was out. The other 3 were mostly mental
Yea man I went thru this a few times
Oh wow.Had no idea you were from my city
I can't even imagine. I went through sub withdrawal in treatment. Even that was hell once they stopped giving me tramadol
They gave you Tramadol to come off Subutex ??!
@@cannotfindmyshoes3 ya. Why wouldn't they? They use trams for all opiate withdrawal
@@cannotfindmyshoes3 ya. Why wouldn't they? Trams are used for all opiate wds. Unless that changed recently.
Saw title. Wishing it was about the Sacklers. 💜
Was this your first/last time detoxing? Somewhere in the middle?
Middle Erin. Had a bunch before then a a handful after that time. Few more in prison and a few on the street after prison
I want to go in deep on this topic because it’s been on my mind a lot lately but…..My worst fear! I’ll just put it like that
Bro, it's a miracle you're not 9ea9 !!
Brother I jus got narcanned 4 days ago still feeling the ending of it I have slow metabolism I had did 2 bags of some shit that made me odhe I never odhe but this feeling wouldn't wish on worst enemey
I went through something so similar. I was so bad I was laying on the floor until I got put in medical I was throwing up all over I almost died from actual dehydration. I looked like a caveman my hair was matted to my head. It was horrible. I wanted to die though
Yea , how you doing now?
Times a flu by 10 then add crippling anxiety/blood pressure issues. It's intolerable
We're you coming off benzos with the opiates? I'm going g through BW it's no joke mate
@bfullstar ya i was coming off both. But ive also gone through them individually too. Honestly I think benzos were worse because they fucked with my head pretty bad too.
@stevejones8550
Were you in a great band in the late 70s who did one, f'kin excellent album ??! Is it you ?
@@cannotfindmyshoes3 lol i wish
Wow. Just found you recently and you’re from Monroe county PA so am I? I played football at pleasant valley. 11 months sober
You went to PV? I graduated in 2011
Hey I’m Monroe county NY. Not pa. But anyway thanks so much for the support. I went to college on pa edinboro. Outside of Erie
When i withdraw from fentanyl ut only last 4 days physically..
4 days? No opiate withdrawal lasts only 4 days! Especially short half life fentanyl! Cant have tolerance to it if thats the case!
How much were you using?
Im so use to going to prison that the wds are usually over after a week in county im eating full trays doing pushups bye my first 90 days in prison i look like i never left😂 i gain a lot of muscle and weight quick
Brighton Colorado??
No Brighton NY. It’s a suburb attached to Rochester NY
How do you stay sober now?
100,000 bail holy crap
Rob, how sucked up did you get?
I'm always curious how people that don't have a prescription do it. I mean it seems there would be long stretches without any for whatever reason. I wonder which is worse. I have 2 prescriptions at the moment of xtampza and roxycodone . It's never enough and honestly I run out every month for anywhere from 5-10 days. Every month I withdrawal and the days I have my meds I'm consumed with worry about when I'll run out this month. I don't want to take this stuff anymore but I also need it for cancer pain. Sucks. But yeah I wonder who's situation would be worse, different etc. I don't know if I could do it if I didn't know were my next dose is coming from. Sure I run out but at least I have a date.
It comes down to not having much choice I guess. Go through withdrawal or commit crime to get more.
@@lifesagamesobeawinner I know what you're saying but if I payed street prices for the amount I take it would be $700-1500 per day. That's allot of stealing or panhandling
Detoxing in jail for me was always easy, get to county and after intake go right to the medical wing for 7-10 days. Of course its brutal but mentally it was easier because I knew I cant get anymore dope.
Also most people think you'll be fine in a week, and its only like a flu. Uh no, it takes weeks sometimes months. It is the most horrendous sick ever. Your nerve endings are super sensitive. The cold hurts on your skin , and at some points the anxiety is so bad its like you are on fire , but you're not. Its no joke. Please anyone thinking of trying methadone don't. Its the one mistake i regret immensely.
How much is a bag exactly? In Texas, black tar is more popular, so we don't have those "folds" as I've heard some northerners call them, so I don't have a good idea of how much is in one of these "folds" or "bags" whatever you call em
So Idk how to explain how much is in them. Not a lot at all. If you google dime bag of heroin some of those pics are very accurate
It’s usually just a .1 or .2 if you got a good dealer lol. Most addicts need like 10 to 15 of them a day.
In UK, we used to get half gramme bags, quarter grammes or for ten quid "a bag" which was on average about a sixth of a gramme.
I've withdrawaled from methadone enough times for a book. Question: anyone who's withdrawaled here ever smell whats called a phantom smell. Its phantom because it doesn't exist, but only to you ?
For someone who was more of an alcoholic than into drugs, when you say “in a shot” I’m assuming you’re referencing filling up a syringe?
And when you say 2-3 bags of coke, what quantity is this in grams? Is a bag more than a gram and you were doing that every hour??
A bag of dope is a tenth of a gram, ten bags is a bundle, a bundle is a gram. So .10 in CT , that's all I know, it's not universal though
I came off alcohol.. meth... pills...fent all at once 10000 percent cold turkey many timee its the best way.. the quickest way to normal
How the hell did you have that much money?
If you smoke it bro withdrawals goes for montbs not weeks
That aint neccessarily true. Anyway, everyones withdrawal is different, depending on the length of their habit, their age, their bodyweight, their diet, ALLSORTS of things. Maybe you're just one of the unfortunate ones like me who seemed to get really long ones. An if you think about it, when you smoke it you're not getting all of it. When you inject it you're getting all of it and everything that's mixed in too, so long as it's soluble.
6 weeks?
Male 26 155lb
Was taking the M30 pressies X-11 and real* 7-12x oxy/perc/dro every 24 hours. everyday for years. Been addicted for nine years I would go hard-core never would take a break and then 3 to 9 months within those times I would just flip the switch and stop cold turkey. Always have made it through the pain and Innoway, I kind of like feeling myself come back alive and feeling that type of pain in a weird way. .
Recently, I was arrested for the first time and had to go through cold turkey in the jail with no medication. No gabapentin, no blanket even. At that time I was taking 11 to 12 pressies and around 10 real piled on top of that. It was a very cold experience.
How the hell did you have money like that? Even with theft... from what you are saying its atleast 500 a day no?
I ant ever heard of someone detox for 6 weeks
It's very common after years of misuse, includes post acute withdrawals as well
I have. Especially if you're taking Methadone on top of the H. That stuff takes ages to get out of your bones.
Anyway, he did say about 21 days of physical withdrawal at it's worst, then six weeks of the crap that follows. I can totally relate to what he said.
Not gonna lie. Your experience was torture. Also, the sad part is that most people leave prison and go right back to the street drugs. You were a perfect candidate for Methadone or Buprenorphine. And yes....people have died going cold turkey off Fentanyl/Heroin alone.
trading one form of the drug to another form of the same drug I don't understand how people can't see that
if that's the case they should just give you Clean heroin and it's non-toxic and very safe in normal doses
@funnycatvideos5490 I understand your concern. I felt the same as you. Do you consider this to be a mental illness?
@@funnycatvideos5490you would just rather do the s*** that gets you high right
Don't kid yourself it all gets you high just ask any drug addict methadone is one of the best highs in the world@@jdl2180
How much is in a "bag" of coke?
That depends !
that are heavily dosed shots
JesusChrist❤
100k bail for stealing? This sounds suspect
Did you even listen to what he said? It was for multiple felonies. He didn't specify which felonies, but felonies carry the harshest sentence of all crime.
Easy don’t break the law or get caught equals no jail and detoxing in jail.
Oh, easy as fuck, Officer Dibble !
Drug are bad, mowkay...ask Mr Mackie from Southpark!!!!
😂😂😂
How did you pay for all that? Crime? 😮
Meaningful channel got only 30k subs where meaningless channels got 30mil subs … such a world huh😢
