Heroin Addiction

Heroin Addiction Treatment at San Rafael Rehab

At San Rafael Rehab, we understand the devastating grip that heroin can have on individuals and families. As one of the most addictive and dangerous opioids, heroin use can quickly lead to physical dependence, mental health issues, and life-threatening consequences. Our heroin addiction treatment program is designed to help clients safely detox, recover, and rebuild their lives through evidence-based care and compassionate support.

If you or a loved one is struggling with heroin addiction, hope and healing are within reach.

What Is Heroin Addiction?

Heroin addiction, also known as opioid use disorder, is a chronic disease that affects brain function, behavior, and overall health. Heroin binds to opioid receptors in the brain, producing intense euphoria followed by deep sedation. Regular use leads to increased tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and compulsive drug-seeking behaviors.

Heroin is commonly injected, snorted, or smoked, and often cut with dangerous additives like fentanyl, significantly increasing the risk of overdose and death.

Common signs of heroin addiction include:

  • Intense cravings and inability to stop using

  • Needle marks or paraphernalia

  • Drowsiness, confusion, or “nodding off”

  • Sudden mood changes or withdrawal from loved ones

  • Financial or legal troubles related to drug use

Our Heroin Addiction Treatment Program

At San Rafael Rehab, we offer a comprehensive heroin treatment program tailored to meet each client’s unique needs. Our team of licensed professionals provides medical, psychological, and emotional support every step of the way.

🔹 1. Medical Heroin Detox

Heroin withdrawal can be painful and dangerous without medical supervision. Our medical detox program provides 24/7 monitoring, medications (when appropriate), and compassionate care to help manage symptoms safely and comfortably.

🔹 2. Inpatient Residential Rehab

After detox, clients transition to our residential rehab program, where they receive intensive therapy, group support, and holistic healing in a structured and nurturing environment. This phase focuses on building healthy coping strategies and identifying the root causes of addiction.

🔹 3. Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Many individuals with heroin addiction also struggle with co-occurring disorders such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Our dual diagnosis treatment addresses both addiction and mental health for a more effective and lasting recovery.

🔹 4. Outpatient Programs (PHP & IOP)

We offer Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for clients who need flexibility or are stepping down from residential care. These programs combine individual therapy, group counseling, relapse prevention, and life skills training.

Evidence-Based Therapies for Heroin Recovery

Our program incorporates a range of clinically proven therapies to support healing from heroin addiction, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)

  • Group and Family Counseling

  • Trauma-Informed Care

  • Mindfulness and Relapse Prevention

We also integrate holistic therapies like yoga, art therapy, nutrition counseling, and fitness to heal the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

In appropriate cases, we offer Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to reduce cravings and prevent relapse. FDA-approved medications like Suboxone or Vivitrol may be used as part of a complete recovery plan.

MAT is always combined with therapy and lifestyle support to help clients build lasting change.
