Heroin Addiction Treatment
Quitting heroin starts with a safe medical detox. Our team manages withdrawal so you stay comfortable and stable. From there, you move into therapy, medication support, and a plan for staying off heroin. Treatment continues through long-term aftercare, so you keep the ground you gain.
How Dillard Recovery Treats Heroin Addiction
Your first step is a clinical assessment. We ask about your heroin use, your health, and what you've tried before. That conversation decides your level of care.
Heroin withdrawal hits hard. Expect cramps, nausea, sweating, and deep restlessness within hours of your last dose. When symptoms need medical support, you start with medical detox, where staff manage the withdrawal so you're not white-knuckling it alone.
After detox, treatment continues. Some people need the structure of residential care. Others step into an intensive outpatient program and keep working or living at home.
Depression, anxiety, and trauma often ride alongside heroin use. We treat both at once. Addressing one and ignoring the other rarely holds.
Therapies We Use
Your care plan starts with a clinical assessment. From there, your team builds a mix of therapies matched to what you actually need. That usually includes cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, and family support. When it fits your case, medication-assisted treatment is added to ease withdrawal and cut cravings. Your plan changes as you do.
