Heroin addiction often begins with a dependence on prescription opioids, leading many down a dangerous path when painkillers become inaccessible. This progression is not uncommon, with nearly 80% of heroin users having started with opioid painkillers. If you or someone you love is struggling with heroin addiction, it’s crucial to understand that addiction is a disease – not a choice.
For many, the path to heroin use starts with a struggle against pain—both physical and emotional. What begins as a search for relief can quickly spiral into dependency. But recovery is within reach, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Your journey begins with a thorough assessment and the initiation of Suboxone® treatment. Our team ensures that you are comfortable and supported during this critical first step.
In the first week, we closely monitor your response to treatment, adjusting medication as needed to help you achieve stability.
We provide ongoing support, including regular check-ins and adjustments to your treatment plan, alongside therapy and counseling to address the psychological aspects of addiction. This step can last between six months to a lifetime, depending on your addiction and long-term goals.
When you’re ready, we guide you through a gradual reduction of medication, ensuring a smooth and successful transition to long-term recovery.
