Understanding Heroin Addiction
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.
"Before I called Brightside, I couldn’t make it past three days clean from heroin. The cravings were so intense, and I was constantly on the verge of relapse. But from the moment I spoke with Brightside, everything changed."
Free Yourself From Heroin with Personalized Treatment Plans
At Brightside Clinic, we recognize that every individual’s journey is unique. Our approach to heroin addiction treatment is tailored to your specific needs, whether you’re dealing with additional challenges like pregnancy, employment demands, or co-occurring mental health conditions. We offer a comprehensive outpatient program that combines Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) with supportive counseling to help you achieve lasting recovery.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Our MAT program uses FDA-approved medications such as Suboxone®, Zubsolv®, Bunavail®, Sublocade®, and Subutex® to help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings. This medical support enables you to focus on rebuilding your life without the constant struggle of physical dependence.
Our Approach to Treating Heroin Addiction
Induction
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.
Stabilization
In the first week, we closely monitor your response to treatment, adjusting medication as needed to help you achieve stability.
Maintenance
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.
Tapering
When you’re ready, we guide you through a gradual reduction of medication, ensuring a smooth and successful transition to long-term recovery.
Integrated Counseling and Psychiatric Services
Recovery from heroin addiction involves more than just medication. Brightside Clinic offers integrated counseling and psychiatric services to address the mental health challenges often associated with addiction. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic modalities, we help you develop healthy routines and coping strategies for a fulfilling life.
