You can’t die from just opioid withdrawal. Alcohol and benzos on the other hand…

What? Layne Staley died of his addiction, likely a blood infection based on the interviews ive seen. He refused to stop and get medical attention. My best friends mother drank herself to death, with a broken hip, she drug herself into her car and drove to the liquor store and just honked at people until someone would get the liquor she wanted, then drove home to drink alone. These people had every opportunity and resource to stop, and get the drug, and chose the drug, even when their health was wanning.
Death is perhaps one of the most natural part of addiction. Stopping is abnormal.
