Recognizing Heroin Withdrawal Symptoms

Users typically begin experiencing withdrawal symptoms between 6 and 12 hours after their last dose. Heroin withdrawal symptoms are often similar to those of prescription opioids, though because heroin leaves the user's system more quickly than painkillers, withdrawal symptoms have an earlier onset.

The following are symptoms of heroin withdrawal:

Intense cravings
Nausea
Vomiting
Cold sweats
Chills
Bone and muscle pain
Fever
Anxiety
Severe cramping
Insomnia

The duration of heroin withdrawal will vary depending on the length of time the user abused heroin, the size of doses they took each time, how often they used, the method of which they used (injecting, smoking, etc.), and whether or not they suffer from additional physical or mental health issues.

Understanding the Long-Term Effects of Heroin

Here are the long-term effects of heroin addiction:

Heart disease
Liver disease
Seizures
Infections

Effective treatment for heroin addiction is required to eliminate or reduce withdrawals and the negative consequences of continued use in order to improve our patients’ well-being. Our staff is committed to reducing dependency, reducing criminal behavior, improving physical and mental health, and helping patients reenter the employment field and become integrated into society once again.

How to Help a Heroin-Addicted Loved One

If you know someone struggling with heroin addiction, urge them to seek help. While it may be uncomfortable to approach them about their struggles, speaking up and letting them know you are concerned could potentially be the push they need to turn their life around. You could be saving their life.

If your loved one is in need of heroin addiction treatment:

Learn as much as you can about heroin addiction so you can better empathize with their situation and understand exactly what they are going through.
Approach them from a place of compassion, not judgment.
Plan out what you want to say in advance. If it helps, write down your thoughts and feelings.
Understand that they may react negatively. They may not realize the extent of their addiction or they may be in denial. Be persistent, but understand that you cannot force someone to seek help.
If they agree to seek treatment, stay involved in their recovery. Be the support they need when they need it most.
If your loved one refuses to acknowledge an obvious problem, consider staging an intervention with professional help.

Heroin Rehab FAQ

What Can I Expect During Heroin Rehab at Decision Point Center?

At Decision Point Center, our heroin rehab program begins with a medically supervised detox to help manage withdrawal symptoms safely. After detox, you’ll enter the rehabilitation phase, which includes a combination of individual therapy, group therapy, and holistic approaches. We focus on addressing both addiction and any underlying mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression.

Our goal is to help you build healthy coping mechanisms, improve emotional well-being, and develop strategies for long-term recovery. You’ll also participate in educational sessions designed to help you understand the nature of addiction and relapse prevention. The treatment plan is personalized based on your unique needs.

How Long Will My Heroin Rehab Last?

The duration of rehab varies depending on your individual situation and progress. Typically, heroin detox takes about 7-10 days. The rehabilitation phase may last anywhere from 30 to 90 days, depending on the severity of the addiction and any co-occurring mental health disorders. Longer programs allow for deeper healing and better prepare you for the transition back to everyday life. Our team will work closely with you to determine the right length of treatment and ensure you're ready for each step of your recovery.

Is Heroin Rehab at Decision Point Center Covered by Insurance?

Yes, heroin rehab is often covered by insurance, but coverage can vary depending on your provider and plan. We partner with many insurance companies and are happy to help you navigate the insurance process. Our team will assist with verifying your coverage and discussing any potential out-of-pocket costs. If insurance does not cover the full cost of treatment, we offer flexible payment options and financing solutions to make care more accessible.

You can learn more about our in-network providers and other insurance coverage matters here.

How Can I Prepare for Heroin Rehab?

Preparing for rehab involves making logistical arrangements like taking time off work, arranging for childcare, or asking a loved one to handle your bills. It’s also helpful to mentally prepare by understanding that rehab is a safe place where you can focus solely on your recovery. Trusting the process and committing to it fully can improve your outcomes.

Will I Be Able to Work or Go to School While in Heroin Rehab?

In outpatient rehab, it is possible to maintain a job or attend school while undergoing treatment. However, for inpatient rehab, you will need to take a leave of absence. Focusing on your recovery is essential, and many employers and schools provide support for individuals seeking treatment, including medical leave or academic accommodations.

We can help evaluate what type of rehab is best for you and discuss options like our intensive outpatient program (IOP), which offer patients a structured program while still allowing them to work, go to school, and attend to other responsibilities.

What are the challenges of recovering from heroin addiction?

Challenges include managing cravings, avoiding triggers, building strong support systems, and coping with stress and anxiety. Relapse is common, but with continued treatment and support, many people can overcome these challenges.

How does heroin addiction affect the brain?

Heroin alters the brain's reward system, leading to intense cravings and compulsive drug-seeking behavior. It can also damage brain cells and impair cognitive function.

What are some tips for preventing heroin addiction?

Educate yourself about the dangers of heroin, avoid risky behaviors, build strong relationships, and seek help early if you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse.

What is the role of family and friends in the recovery process?

Family and friends play a crucial role in supporting individuals in recovery. They can provide emotional support, encourage healthy behaviors, and help establish a strong support network.

What Happens After I Complete Heroin Rehab?

After completing heroin rehab, your recovery journey continues with aftercare. This can include continued therapy, participation in support groups like Narcotics Anonymous, and follow-up care with your treatment team. Decision Point Center provides resources for sober living arrangements if needed and offers ongoing relapse prevention support to help you maintain sobriety.
