Recovery is a Journey. Take the First Step.





 
Heroin abuse is on the rise, largely due to the increase use and abuse of opioid prescription drugs. When those addicted to opioid prescription drugs either cannot obtain or afford expensive prescription drugs, they often turn to heroin, which is a more destructive, cheaper alternative. Our approach to heroin rehab employs a medical/psychological/social model of treatment.
Our goal is to assess the patient medically to determine what needs to be done in terms of detox and stabilization, to understand the psychological issues that the patient may be experiencing and to also understand the social environment the patient experiences in their day-to-day life. With a thorough understanding of these issues, we are able to help people dependent on heroin learn what triggers their use from all three perspectives and help them in term lead lives free from heroin.

Signs You May Need Help

Heroin is a seriously addictive substance and those addicted to it often experience a loss of normal relations with friends, family and associates. Work may be strained or those dependent may be unemployed. If you feel this describes you, you may need heroin rehab. If, however, you find you cannot feel “normal” without heroin, if you’ve been admitted to a hospital for overdose or if it is causing you to engage in criminal behavior to obtain the drug, you should seek treatment right away.

Detox and Heroin Dependency

It is quite normal for people who are dependent on heroin to need detox before entering long-term care. Withdrawals from heroin are severe. People may experience cramping, physical pain, flu-like symptoms, anxiety, depression and other symptoms that drive them to use. Medically supervised detox helps people dependent on heroin overcome their symptoms in the least painful way possible so they can enter treatment with the best possible mindset.

81% of heroin overdose deaths in 2013 were ruled unintentional overdoses.
