Restorations Health Care helps struggling addicts detox from heroin and begin their path towards a sober life. Starting a journey towards recovery, especially from heroin abuse, requires a compassionate, structured and medically supervised approach to safely detox.
We recognize the severity of heroin addiction and aim to provide clients with comprehensive care.
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.
Becoming physically addicted and psychologically dependent on heroin can cause a number of problems to one’s health, decrease their quality of life and increase early risk of death. Some of the long-term effects of heroin abuse could include:
Recognize the warning signs in yourself or a loved one to reach out for support. Symptoms of dilaudid abuse include:
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.
Restorations Health Care provides medically supervised detox in a safe facility to rid heroin from the system. Heroin detox can be dangerous if done unsupervised.

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.
