benzos aren't that dangerous or addictive?!?!?!? bro people rarely die from opiate wd's but benzo wd's are 20x worse.. that shit will kill you quick as fuck... im not hating on benzos I love them but truth is truth.
You can not die from opiate withdrawal. I repeat. Cannot.
You CAN die from benzo withdrawal, just like alcohol. The only two drugs that the withdrawal itself can kill you from having seizures. Not side effects from withdrawal, like not eating or staying hydrating.
Clonodine can help, it's a super strong blood pressure medication -- opiate withdrawal makes your anxiety levels go up, thus BP.

You're right in that you don't REPLACE one substance with another, but he is still correct in that you still use it to treat the symptoms as they come. They are actually prescribed for this reason.
Benzos aren't that dangerous or addictive either... they're quite safe -- especially at low doses.
Prescription clonidine might also help you OP.
No. Benzodiazipines are prescribed to people with anxiety. If you have a doctor who will prescribe you benzos for opiate withdrawal, then you have a bad doctor who does not truly care about your well being. End of story. No treatment facility will prescribe this. You may get off lucky with a prescription of (placebo) Buspirone and Trazodone to help you sleep.
