So it seems... It requires the Beit Hamikdash, the Holy Temple, in order to make the required sacrifice...
Harzel:
I think it might be possible to release one from his vow of Nezirut bye a Jewish court using the general procedure of התרת נדר releasing from vow. I am no expert though...
But this procedure is meant to be used to release people who vowed and then regret their vow, and to use it premeditatedly is surely not advised.
Harzel:
Look at this: a Jewish nazir: No haircut, No wine, can have a wife
a Christian nazir (monk): have a hairdo (shaves the crown of his head), can drink wine, no women.

Oh, perhaps simple fasting is more appropriate.

Yes I think the practice of being a Jewish nazirite generally stopped being practiced long ago. It was usually not encouraged anyway because it is very stringent and we don't want people to deny themselves so much, as a general rule. But people who take on additional piety today usually do so through fasting or other measures in their personal life without a vow which is very serious transgression if one fails to live up to a vow.
