Heroin Detox Center

Heroin continues to fuel the American opioid epidemic. As a highly potent and immediately addictive drug, heroin has become the main cause of overdoses in the United States. Many individuals who struggle with heroin addiction began using prescription opioid pain relievers but then turned to heroin or other illicit forms of opioids after running out of their prescription. Quitting heroin can be challenging. Going through detox alone can be dangerous, and many individuals relapse in order to feel relief from painful or uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. At San Antonio Recovery Center, we offer a heroin detox center where individuals who are struggling with heroin addiction can go through withdrawal in a safe, supportive environment.

Set yourself up for success on the road to recovery by reaching out to our San Antonio detox center today. Whether you are contacting us for yourself or for a loved one who is struggling with addiction, our team can help. Contact us at 866.957.7885 or reach out online today to learn more.

Do You Need a Heroin Detox Center?

Why do patients need to go through the withdrawal process in a heroin detox center as opposed to quitting cold turkey? Heroin withdrawal symptoms are, even by the standards of other drugs, known for being severe. Doctors recommend that all patients go to a detox center in order to receive medically monitored treatment.

Withdrawal can occur in as little as six hours after the last use. Heroin withdrawal symptoms can include:

  • Insomnia
  • Agitation
  • Pain in your muscles
  • Diarrhea
  • Anxiety
  • Sweating
  • Seizures

In addition to the mental and physical effects of opioid withdrawal, symptoms like seizures pose a life-threatening risk. Even without those symptoms, an individual who is attempting to quit outside of a heroin detox center could be tempted to relapse in order to feel relief.

What to Expect in Our Texas Heroin Detox Center

The main benefit of a heroin detox center is the knowledge that you are secure and medically monitored. At San Antonio Recovery Center, our medical professionals on staff ensure your safety throughout the withdrawal process.

Instead of weathering heroin withdrawal on your own, you are ensured that your detox will be a success. As your body purges itself of the presence of heroin and adapts to life without it, your symptoms will ease up.

At San Antonio Recovery Center, we also offer separate men's detox and women's detox centers. These distinct programs can help our guests feel more comfortable and can lead to stronger networks of support among our patients.

Residential treatment at a heroin detox center is also useful due to post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS). In the outside world, the mental symptoms of PAWS could lead you to relapse, resetting the entire recovery process. In a detox center and rehab facility, therapists and staff help you deal with the cognitive impairment, mood disorders, and intense cravings caused by PAWS.

Addictions Treated at Our Heroin Detox Center

As we mentioned above, heroin is often the last drug of choice at the tail-end of an opioid or opiate addiction. For years, doctors improperly prescribed overly-potent painkillers to unsuspecting patients. These patients then became dependent on those drugs and moved on to heroin after running out.

At our Texas heroin detox center, we have experience treating painkiller withdrawal symptoms as well as addiction to the entire class of opioid and opiate drugs. These include:

  • Hydrocodone
  • Oxycodone
  • Oxycontin
  • Percocet
  • Tramadol
  • Vicodin
  • Methadone
  • Fentanyl

Dual Diagnosis Treatment and Therapy

Many addictions also co-occur with mental health disorders. In some cases, addiction and its effects on a person can cause them to develop a mental illness. In other cases, a mental illness led them to substance abuse as a negative coping mechanism. For those patients, we offer dual diagnosis treatment.

In our residential treatment facility, we offer a number of therapies designed to help with addiction and mental illness. With dual diagnosis, the two problems are inextricably linked. The psychological dependence caused by addiction fuels mental illness and vice-versa.

Therapies offered at San Antonio Recovery Center include:
