Best ways are to stop slowly or use methadone. Suboxone is the best way to stop completely and not have the urge to use again. You can get info. on the Internet. But a doctor is the only way to get suboxone or methadone unless you can find it on the street wich may bring your urge to use again back since your close to that environment.

I know that detox facilities are expensive, but they can be worth it. There is good facility that my good friend went to where you can get off of these drugs. She had no problems with withdrawal and is still clean. They do a procedure under anesthesia for one hour and that eliminates the withdrawal and you only have to stay 3-4 days. Their website is Rapiddrugdetox.com. I have been considering doing this program myself, and I think they have some financing. Insurance doesn't cover it, but you can get it financed, and maybe use pay pal to help with costs too. It's the cheapest one I have found though, and the woman on the phone is very knowledgeable, you should give them a call. Otherwise, you could go cold turkey, but I have never tried this but know that some people have had success. You could research it on the internet and I'm sure people will have advice to give you. I would go to a methadone clinic and ask for advice too, although I have heard methadone can be worse than heroin. It seems like you really want to get off of this stuff and the most important thing is having the will to do so. You are not alone. Keep up the fight.
