Lots and lots of heroin within a short time span. That will cure the addiction, quite quickly. Either that, or eat a bullet.

I wonder if #2 has ever had an addiction. Some addictions are out of the addicts control and need the help of a professional. I would talk to a doctor.
#3, you're a fucking moron!

#4, tell me the two solutions I offered won't cure the addiction... And that is what the OP asked for, ways to cure the addiction.
So, who is truly the moron, you self-righteous dumbass?

Throw out what you have and whenever you feel like doing it, don't.
Not rocket science. It depends on whether you want to or not. That simple.

Nothing is "simple" when it comes to addiction. See how easy it is to go cold turkey on your stupidity, and you'll understand what I mean.

#5, dying is not a solution, that is what makes you a moron.
People make mistakes and that is what makes us human. Just because they may not be seeking help in the right place, does not mean they don't deserve help.
I am amazed at people's lack of understanding. It is sickening to think that people will actually tell someone to kill themselves before offering a hand. If it were your mother, father, sister, or brother would you be offering the same "advice"?

We do drugs (crack, smack, crank, weed, sex, etoh, etc) for one reason and one reason only: they FEEL GOOD. Whether we define feeling good as actual pleasure or as absence of pain, that's the only reason we do them. It's unrealistic to expect to be able to just stop doing something that is hugely rewarding without replacing it with something else (preferably healthier!) that also feels good. So go through all your rehab, suck it up and put your mind to it, find God or whatever else shit you want to do to get clean, but don't forget to find something else that FEELS GOOD. Exercise, spend time with friends and family, have sober sex with your partner (you'd be surprized at how good it is!), find a hobby, or whatever it is that makes you happy, and do it mindfullly and intentionally as a replacement for your addiction. Counseling is a good way to get clean, but feeling good is what you have to do in order to STAY clean.

#5 here again. I work with drug-addicted jerkoffs on a daily basis. Most have addicts for parents, and therefore no support mechanism for getting clean. The ones who don't usually have affluent parents who are in denial and are top-notch enablers. And, most don't want to get clean.
As such, addicts usually resort to crime to get their fixes. Thus, they become a chronic burden to society and all of us law-abiding taxpayers. We pay for their passage through the criminal court system. We pay for their incarceration (housing, food, clothing, education, etc.). We pay for their treatment.
All in all, society is better off if these pukes off themselves.
So, shove that up your ass and smoke it!

Chemical addictions could be notoriously hard to kick, indeed.
Some simply can not be kicked - like alcoholism. Going "cold turkey" won`t help - alcoholism is not just psychological dependancy, but also a pathology. Body stops producing it`s own alcohol, which is necessary for normal function, relying on external source instead, so cutting that source off too will cause pretty serious unpleasantries. Therefore alcoholism has to be treated in hospital conditions to be really rid of it.
On the other hand, addiction to tobacco can be simply quitted. It`s merely a question of willpower. Same usually goes for addiction to sex or gambling.
However, aforementioned is not always valid - cleptomania is a bright example of addiction (to thievery, in this case), that is actually psychological disorder and requires professional treatment. Entirely the same could pertain to nymphomania.
Last but not least, addictions to illegal chemicals - which usually have mind-altering capabilities and are toxic.
Due to their effects, considerable number of those chemicals incurs palpable damage to body and, in particular, neural system (including brain).
That might make person in question incapable of even comprehending the necessity to drop the addiction in first place. If this is the case, forcible insulation from abused substance and 24/7 supervision is the only viable way to be rid of addiciton. However, when it comes to this, a question arises, weather there IS enough of person left to bother.
If it so happens that addicted understands the necessity to eliminate the addiction, confining him/her to hospital or near-hospital condition is the best way to deal with withdrawals. Synthetic analgetics like metadon can help with pains and sleep pattern distortions, but any analgetics should NOT be taken without professional medical supervision - trading one addiction for another seems to be quite useless gesture.
Ostensibly, negative reinforcement of surviving withdrawals is a VERY good reason not to go back to addiction in question. However, in retrospect, a whole lot of people go back, simply because they once quit, and that makes them believe that they are indeed capable to quit at any time. Therefore, if that path is taken, supervision is highly recommended.
