I think that you should visit a drug rehabilitation center.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I think that you should visit a drug rehabilitation center. They will be able to administer proper therapy so that you do not suffer from withdrawal symptoms. They would also provide proper motivation and psychotherapy so that you do not land up taking the opiates again.
Tramadol is unlikely to be helpful. Rather, the medicines on the following page are likely to be helpful:
