Any Ideas on How to Beat Opiate Addiction at Home?

Question by trying~hard~to~quit: Any ideas on how to beat opiate addiction at home?
I have a horrible problem. I started taking opiate drugs (such as Vicodin and Percocets) about 4 years ago for pain. I always had legitimate prescriptions. I would take them on and off but always atleast a few weeks out of every month. I think at that point I was mentally addicted but not physically. I have horrible kidney stones and I am always passing them. I have pain constantly now. My doctor says that when a person passes so many kidney stones, that the pain receptor gets turned on and doesn’t turn off again. Anyway, in September I was hosptalized for a surgery on my kidney. I was then put on all sorts of opiate drugs. I have been trying to taper off since then. It is the most horrible, painful thing that I have ever dealt with in my life. I think that it is worse than the kidney pain. Anyway, does anybody have any ideas of how I can beat this horrible addiction. I never imagined that I would be addicted to something….. I cry all the time and I am sad 🙁
I don’t really want to go to a rehab. I was wondering about any home remedies…herbs?….anyway to get my opiate receptors back to normal so that I can have a natural high instead of only being happy when I am taking a pill? Please some help?
