Heroin Treatment

Heroin is a difficult drug to quit, and causes suffering for the addict and his or her family and friends. It can lead to criminal activity to support the addiction, even to homelessness and, without heroin treatment, will likely prove fatal. And the possibility of an accidental overdose is a constant threat.

Heroin withdrawal results in physical symptoms that include nausea and vomiting, body pain, and insomnia and should not be attempted without professional assistance. Heroin detox drugs such as methadone, suboxone and buprenorphine, when combined with an appropriate inpatient drug treatment program, have turned around the lives of even the most hopeless addicts.
