I feel like it’s just going to be a waste of money. Maybe I can just go cold turkey? I haven’t quit yet, but I think I can do it on my own.

Engaging in a drug treatment program is going to help you. You said so yourself that you haven’t quit yet, which means that you don’t know if you’re going to experience withdrawal symptoms, and if you will be able to handle them. Getting medical help would still be best. But at least you want to quit. That’s already a huge step. You have to want this. You have to have strong willpower in order for you to go into abstinence. Try going cold turkey, if you experience any withdrawal symptoms, get medical help immediately. Money might be important, but this is your life that we’re talking about.
