Benefits of Inpatient Heroin Rehab

When deciding to get sober from an addiction to heroin, the best starting point is an inpatient treatment center. When you commit yourself to an inpatient stay you are removing all temptation from the outside world and allowing yourself the opportunity to focus on your recovery 24/7. For many, the withdrawal symptoms and cravings can be so intense during the first few days and weeks of sobriety that it is virtually impossible to stay off the drug. Going to an inpatient facility will remove that temptation and access.

Another positive of inpatient treatment is the around the clock care that is offered. You will have plenty of time to learn about addiction and how it manipulates your brain, as well as learn coping skills and other tools needed to maintain sobriety. You will also have the time to get to know a therapist and dive into more deep seeded issues that lead to your drug use. All of this is possible at an inpatient facility.

Medications for Heroin Addiction Treatment

Heroin rehab treatments can be more complex than just how long you spend there and who you talk to about your addiction struggles. It often might include a medication side to it too. The goal is to help prevent drug cravings that might come after treatment due to difficult situations. There are a few drugs you can expect your doctor may prescribe you:

Methadone
Buprenorphine
Naltrexone

Methadone works to weaken the “high” that could occur on different routes to the brain. This aims to prevent the heroin withdrawal effects from occurring. Buprenorphine can stop the drug cravings without recreating the scary side effects other opioids may cause. Naltrexone, while not being addictive or sedating, can block the actions of drugs like heroin and not leave you physically dependent on it. When taking any one of these drugs in order to move off a drug, you should pay attention to all of the potential side effects and impact they might have on your life. Naltrexone is a good example since patients have been noted to have trouble complying with their treatment. It’s why working with a doctor can be the best way to end your heroin addiction in the long run.
