    Overcoming drug addictions are going to have a different component in them. There could be some similarities between what fuels the addiction, i.e. repressed emotions. In other words, does the addiction distract you from something else. I would, without question, recommend being under the care of a medical professional as you overcome an opiate addiction, but you understand how your personality relates to your addiction may also have some benefit. There may be some serious side affects that may accompany getting off opiates. Being under the care of a physician will allow you to make sure you do no harm to yourself.
