Suffering From Heroin Addiction?
Heroin is a highly addictive drug under the class of opioids, made from morphine.
It is often sold on the streets in the form of powder or a black sticky substance. It is extremely dangerous and has a high rate of overdose and death.
Heroin slows down the nervous system, respiratory and cardiovascular system.
It can relax the muscles, lower anxiety and provide a sense of euphoria. Even after only doing heroin once, it can become addictive. Heroin enters the bloodstream quickly, providing an almost immediate effect. It also leaves the bloodstream quickly, this is what makes it so addictive. The drug changes your brain by decreasing natural dopamine and serotonin production. Heroin can cut off oxygen to the brain, causing organ failure and overdose.

What is Heroin Withdrawal?
Heroin withdrawal symptoms begin 6 to 12 hours after the last use. They are intense and often painful, such as nausea, constipation, diarrhea, sweating, chills, muscle fatigue, and mental disturbances such as anxiety or mood swings. These symptoms, paired with intense cravings, can make it nearly impossible to withdraw from heroin without medical intervention.
Safe withdrawal from heroin requires medically supervised detox. Here, medical staff are available 24/7 to monitor vitals, stabilize patients, and can prescribe medication to alleviate pain and cravings.

Heroin Detox Timeline
If you or someone you know is struggling with heroin addiction, reach out to Restorations Health Care today for help. Resources are available to detox, overcome the grips of heroin addiction and live a sober life.
Heroin withdrawal symptoms may begin within 8 hours after the last dose of the drug. When you arrive for your detox, you’ll meet with one of our admissions counselors who will help you understand the detox & rehab process. You’ll get information about insurance verification and undergo a clinical assessment to evaluate your full medical history.
Our treatment approach includes medications, therapies, and a 12-Step Program.
Medical assistance will be provided to heroin withdrawal symptoms. These help your body get through the peak withdrawal period, which is usually days 3-4. Our priority is keeping you comfortable while your body and brain adjust to the lack of heroin. Our 12-Step Program helps you take actionable steps to overcome your addiction and reach the goals you set for yourself in therapy.
Around day five, heroin withdrawal symptoms become less severe and begin to taper off, even without medication. You’ll get the most out of your counseling sessions as you and your therapist start looking ahead to life outside the detox center.
Nutrition counseling and exercise therapy are essential as they help your body feel strong enough to fight the cravings for heroin. Maintaining a healthy diet and getting good sleep are also key to preventing relapse.
Our team will prepare you for a safe discharge and recommend you are moved to an inpatient rehab program where you continue this treatment. Returning home immediately after detox can be difficult as you may feel tempted to use it again in a triggering environment. The first six months are the hardest, which is why we recommend at least a 90 day rehab program.
