Detoxing detox

I've appeared to have overstated detoxing. Ken is now taking less opiates in a 24-hour period than he once took every six hours, give or take an hour or two.
Granted mornings are difficult. He goes his longest span of time without anything during the night. In the morning his legs don't move well at all. If we had to leave the house in a hurry he'd have to drop to the ground and I'd just roll him out. But otherwise he's handling this fairly well.
I'm less so.
It's part of that shallow knowledge thing. I don't know why he appears more overly medicated now than when he was taking nearly six times as much opiates.
