Heroin Detox Program at San Refael Rehab

Heroin addiction is a powerful and destructive force that impacts both the body and mind. At San Refael Rehab, our medically supervised Heroin Detox Program offers a safe and structured environment for individuals to begin their recovery journey with dignity, care, and expert support.

What is Heroin Detox?

Heroin detox is the first step in treating opioid addiction. It involves eliminating heroin from the body while managing the intense withdrawal symptoms that often accompany early recovery. Detoxing without medical supervision can be dangerous, and that’s why professional support is essential for a safe and successful start to sobriety.

Why Choose Medical Detox?

Attempting to quit heroin “cold turkey” can lead to severe withdrawal symptoms such as:

  • Intense cravings

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Muscle aches and pains

  • Anxiety and depression

  • Insomnia

  • Sweating and chills

At San Rafael Rehab, our medical detox program includes:

✅ 24/7 medical supervision
✅ Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to ease withdrawal
✅ Emotional and psychological support
✅ Comfortable, private accommodations
✅ Compassionate, licensed healthcare professionals

The Heroin Detox Process
1. Assessment & Intake

Upon arrival, each client receives a comprehensive medical and psychological evaluation. This helps us create a personalized detox plan tailored to their health needs, substance use history, and goals for recovery.

2. Stabilization

During this phase, clients undergo medically monitored detox to safely manage withdrawal symptoms. Medications such as buprenorphine or methadone may be used to reduce cravings and ease discomfort.

3. Transition to Treatment

Detox is only the beginning. Once stabilized, clients are guided into a structured treatment program—either inpatient residential care or outpatient therapy—to address the root causes of heroin addiction and build long-term recovery strategies.

Is Detox Enough to Beat Heroin Addiction?

While heroin detox is a critical first step, it’s not a cure. True recovery requires a full continuum of care, including:

  • Therapy & Counseling
    (CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care)

  • Group & Family Therapy

  • Life Skills Training

  • Aftercare Planning & Support

  • Relapse Prevention Strategies
