Heroin Addiction Treatment
Heroin withdrawal starts within hours of your last dose, and that timing is exactly why medical detox matters. At Bennett Recovery, you get supervised detox, then evidence-based treatment that continues into long-term aftercare. You do not have to white-knuckle it alone. The plan follows you past the first hard week.
How Bennett Recovery Treats Heroin Addiction
Heroin withdrawal usually starts within hours of your last dose. Muscle aches, nausea, sweating, and intense cravings peak over the first few days, and the discomfort is real enough that many people relapse just to make it stop. That is why treatment starts with a clinical assessment to figure out what level of care fits your situation.
If your body needs it, medical detox manages withdrawal so you are not doing it alone. From there you move into residential treatment or step down to an intensive outpatient program, depending on your history and support at home.
If you are dealing with depression, anxiety, or trauma alongside the heroin use, we treat both together. Addressing one and ignoring the other rarely holds.
Therapies We Use
No two people arrive with the same history, so your care plan is built to fit yours. It combines therapies with a track record: cognitive behavioral therapy to change the thinking that drives use, group therapy to practice honesty with people who get it, and family support to repair the relationships around you. When it's clinically appropriate, medication-assisted treatment is part of the plan too.
