You don't really have to, since opiate withdrawal is rarely fatal. However, opiate withdrawal lasts a long, long time. The worst of it lasts for weeks, and you might not feel 100% well again for over a year. Basically, it's like a horrible flu that lasts for months.

So, since most people cannot afford to spend 6 months in bed, going cold turkey usually isn't an option. People have jobs and families to attend to. But it is possible, and some people do choose to do it.
