Heroin Addiction Treatment

Heroin addiction is part of the opioid crisis and has come to national attention. However, if you or a loved one suffers from heroin addiction, the stories on the news is something you live every day. If you wonder if someone in your life is addicted to heroin, here are signs to look for:

• Looking flushed or red
• Lying and stealing from loved ones
• Displaying feelings of euphoria and a high
• Slowed respiration and breathing
• Confusion and cloudy thinking
• Extreme exhaustion
• Nausea, vomiting and other stomach troubles

• Severe itchines
• Persistent sniffles and runny nose
• Tremors
• Headaches
• Inability to maintain employment
• Financial and legal troubles
• Needle marks on the body

Many users inject heroin, running the risk of contracting HIV by using a shared or dirty needle. If you or a loved one is facing this addiction, there is hope to overcome it with the right treatment facility.

As part of a successful heroin addiction treatment program, you’ll explore the triggers that led to heroin addiction and learn new behaviors to deal with the triggers. Specifically, at an in-patient treatment center, you can leave the stress and daily concerns at the door. Your treatment team will help you create a treatment plan that’s unique for your personal needs, challenges, and goals. We specialize in luxury heroin addiction treatment program here at Cliffside Malibu in California.

As part of discovering your triggers, you’ll attend private therapy sessions. This is your chance to explore the things that create the most stress in your life and find new, more effective ways of dealing with them. You’ll need these tools when you leave rehab and return to your day-to-day life.

During your heroin addiction, you probably alienated loved ones, and you need to repair those relationships. Trust has been broken, and you need to begin the process of rebuilding it. Your treatment program will probably include family therapy sessions. These sessions can help you build the safety nets that you’ll need once you leave rehab, and it’s with people who already love you.

During your time at the center, you can expect to join group therapy. This is your chance to talk with others fighting heroin addiction. You may learn about your own triggers during these sessions. Typically, a counselor leads the group but only speaks to keep the discussion on the topic and to ensure everyone has a chance to share. If you keep an open mind, you can learn new ways to deal with your own triggers and most importantly, that you aren’t alone.
