yes they do as a former addict i know for a fact it does help but i was also on antidepressants and still on opiates too and found that antidepressants sort of lower the high feeling that you get from opiates so it can help with the detox by lowering the craving you get and speeding up the clearing of your system. I'm still doing some research on whether or not antidepressants do cancel out the opiate effect i know it does for LSD and somewhat of THC but I'm not sure

This isn't a professional answer so dint take it as one its just from former experience I'm still pretty young. hope i helped =)

Can you ever recover from taking morphine for more than 10yrs?

While I am not a doctor and we generally do not dispense medical advice, it is well-documented that there are many former addicts who have gotten clean and sober from a wide variety of addictive substances, morphine among them. I would recommend that you talk honestly with a doctor to see what damage has been done to your health from your addiction; and then, please seek out a support group or a therapist with expertise in substance abuse, to help you manage your physical pain and empower you to quit using morphine (or any other drug, for that matter). Good luck, and yes it can be done!
