Your post really hit home with me. I became addicted to dilaudid through doctors prescribing this for colitis. I recently went through detox at an inpatient facility and it was the best choice for me. I strongly recommend trying to get into an inpatient detox facility where they can monitor you because there are so many risk factors involved when trying to come off medications, whether they are valium, pain killers or anything else. It won't be pretty going through the detox, depending on how many valium you take in a day. But, the feeling of waking up clean and being clean for me and getting compliments on how much better I look, was better than any feeling I got from the dilaudid. Definitely look for a meeting, whether it be AA or NA, even if you don't want to talk, listen and you really can learn so much. I will say a prayer for you.
