If you are using heroin and you can’t stop, take heart.
Recovery is possible. The right combination of medication, detox, rehab, and focused therapies can help you create a happy, healthy, and sober life.
Heroin rehab typically involves drugs like methadone, naloxone or other medications, which will help you to manage the severe withdrawal symptoms that can happen when you stop using. Inpatient programs at residential treatment centers are one of the most effective options, since medical supervision can be helpful in managing symptoms. In some cases, a comprehensive outpatient program can also be a good solution.
The first step in recovery is detoxification – the process of allowing the body to endure the symptoms of withdrawal and return to steady functioning.
The balance of treatment will involve a combination of medical monitoring, medications and counseling.
The experienced team at SunCloud understands that treating heroin addiction requires a blend of compassion with advanced medical and psychotherapeutic skill.
In caring for those facing drug addiction, we dig deep on all fronts. We understand that other sources of emotional pain, and even other addictive behaviors, may have led to your problems with heroin. Therefore, we will help you address all of these related factors as you enter treatment.
We also realize that psychiatric conditions such as depression, trauma or anxiety may have played a role in your drug use. You may even be abusing other substances to cope with the side effects of your addiction.
