Why aren't addiction recovery kits more popular?

I just saw a post on Sell Your Shit Sunday by /u/GrandWizardsLair for an opiates recovery package which I think is a great idea, are there any other kits like this?

edit: /u/sobulbous thanks for pointing out my typo in calling GrandWizard a liar

My favorite "kit" from the movie Trainspotting:

"Relinquishing junk. Stage one, preparation. For this you will need one room which you will not leave. Soothing music. Tomato soup, ten tins of. Mushroom soup, eight tins of, for consumption cold. Ice cream, vanilla, one large tub of. Magnesia, milk of, one bottle. Paracetamol, mouthwash, vitamins. Mineral water, Lucozade, pornography. One mattress. One bucket for urine, one for feces and one for vomitus. One television and one bottle of Valium, which I've already procured from my mother, who is, in her own domestic and socially acceptable way also a drug addict. And now I'm ready. All I need is one final hit to soothe the pain while the Valium takes effect."

What is this?

eeh maybe. That's definitely not what people come here for obviously

Honestly this is a good idea. You could package librium and gabapentin for GABAergic withdrawal for example. Have injectable B vitamins as an add-on to the package for alcoholics. Maybe include some sort of psychedelic to assist their rebirth after detoxing.

I've got an enormous stockpile of Suboxone strips I've thought much about selling on DNM.

I know people have various opnions on the stuff, but it worked great for me and if you're determined it will for anyone else.

Addiction = profit. That's why no one sells them.

How dare you call the Grand Wizard a liar.

I think this could be potentially a great idea. Any thoughts on ibogaine recovery package?!


[1 Points] zeeceekaykay:

Its a fantastic idea and I'll be buying mr grand wizard's kit as soon as he's got it listed. :D

xanax to sleep, ganja to stop the FUCKING ANNOYING cramps and twitches. nothing else needed. you can even go to work when withdrawing, you just look like a sweaty pig

best non methadone opiate withdrawal kit =

subutex clonazepam (or xanax but from a medical standpoint longer halflife is better). clonidine

But you can just walk into any doctor and get buprenorphien and clonidine and if you have insurance itll be close to free. two out of 3 doctors ive used also gave a benzo. either alprazolam or temazepam.

there actually are effective means of addiction treatment out there

ibogaine is one - though mama ibo is one bad motha (the maoi component, for a start)

one that's specific for opioids (and interestingly enough, alcohol) is naltrexone. for opioids, it's only good for the physical, not the psychological dependecies, while for alcohol... if one takes the pill every day, it's damn near a cure for alcoholism.
