Heroin Detox Center
We utilize a medication-assisted detox program that allows your body to naturally detox heroin. This may take place over just several days, or it could last longer for some clients. Besides medication, other therapies will be used to ease your pain. Post-detox, you’ll learn how to manage chronic pain through both psychotherapy and holistic approaches to treatment.
Some of the therapy programs we offer include:
- Our individual therapy program uses one-on-one sessions to address not only substance abuse disorders but additionally your approach to mental health.
- Our group therapy program, which is a form of psychotherapy, is led by a therapist with the addition of other clients working in tandem to achieve sobriety.
- Our family therapy program brings in your close family members to aid in your addiction recovery. Addiction is known as a family disease because substance abuse affects the entire family, not just the one who is under the drug’s spell.
Heroin Addiction and Withdrawal
Heroin is so addictive because it works with the neurotransmitters in your brain that interact with each other. The brain learns to associate feelings of well-being with the euphoria that is a byproduct of heroin usage. The old adage “if it feels good, do it” applies here because this is the message your use of heroin is telling your brain. When addiction sets in, there is nothing telling your brain to stop.
Our expert staff is well-trained to combat heroin’s takeover of your mind and body. The longer one uses heroin, the harder it is to stop. The brain becomes reliant on it to function, as it affects the brain’s reward system. This makes it nearly impossible for an individual to stop using without entering a heroin detox center.
Heroin withdrawal can be very powerful and can set in within as little as six hours after the last dose. It is physically difficult to stop using on your own. There are a number of withdrawal symptoms that we address in the recovery process.
- Anxiety
- Agitation
- Insomnia
- Muscle pain
- Sweating
- Diarrhea
