Heroin Addiction Treatment

Lakeview's Heroin Addiction Rehab Center

In the United States alone, approximately 3.5 million people over the age of 12 have tried using heroin at some point in their lives. Heroin is highly addictive and those who use it require professional heroin addiction treatment as one can become addicted after just one use.

Lakeview Health Systems is a nationally recognized alcohol and drug addiction treatment center. Our unique and highly effective drug addiction treatment programs help people overcome their addiction to drugs like heroin, and are also designed for those who have a dual diagnosis.

Heroin Addiction Treatment and Managing Withdrawal      

As part of our heroin addiction treatment services, we offer medically-based drug detox programs that allow patients to safely go through the heroin withdrawal process.  Heroin is extremely addictive, and the withdrawal symptoms can be serious. While in detox, Lakeview's heroin addiction treatment professionals will manage your withdrawal symptoms, while monitoring any potential medical risks.

Heroin withdrawal symptoms usually occur within just a few hours of heroin use and can include:

• Bone pain
• Drug cravings
• Muscle pain
• Restlessness
• Vomiting

Our physicians can dispense medications that can minimize and even eliminate many of these withdrawal symptoms. They can also provide medications for patients who have dual diagnosis and need to manage psychiatric symptoms.

Detox Followed by Heroin Addiction Rehab is Vital

Not all drug rehab programs have their own detox programs. One of the benefits of Lakeview is that we do have onsite detox programs that provide the foundation for continuing onto our heroin addiction rehab center. Detox simply gets the drug out of the system, but rehab is where the patient works on uncovering the core issues behind the addiction. To avoid relapse, it is essential to follow detox with a comprehensive heroin addiction rehab program that incorporates a variety of therapies designed for achieving lasting recovery.
