Finding Effective Heroin Addiction Treatment at The Cabin Chiang Mai

Effective Treatment for Heroin Addiction

Probably the most important benefit to attending a residential rehab centre for heroin addiction is that this allows the addict to be completely removed from their daily life where people and places encourage them to use. Instead, they are able to stay in a safe place where everyone shares the same goal – ridding themselves of their addictions.

Residential heroin reliance treatment also provides counsellors and support workers round-the-clock, meaning that no matter what time of day, there is someone to speak to for support. Completely confidential inpatient treatment allows addicts the ability to remove themselves from all regular life stressors while focusing completely on addiction recovery.

Furthermore, compulsive overeating often occurs in private. This can make it challenging to identify and diagnose. If you’re concerned about someone’s eating habits, there are early signs of Co-Occurring Disordered Eating you can be mindful of.

Is Medically Supervised Detox Required for Heroin Addiction?

Heroin withdrawal symptoms are often felt within a couple of hours after the last high wears off, and include the following:

Although withdrawal symptoms from heroin can be incredibly painful and physically and psychologically uncomfortable, they are not life-threatening and thus a medically supervised detox is not required. However, it is suggested that during this period of withdrawal, a heroin addict is monitored by an addiction counsellor or support worker.

Because of the severity of these withdrawal symptoms, it is very common for addicts to give up on recovery at this point. In severe cases, methadone may be administered to help soothe the withdrawal symptoms and ease the body off the drug.

What Types of Heroin Addiction Methods Work Best?

Heroin addiction is one of the most disabling drug addictions. It is rare to see a high-functioning heroin addict – meaning that they are able to maintain work, family and social obligations during their addiction. However, especially in the case of different opiate addictions such as opium or prescription drugs, outpatient treatment is an option for those who have not yet hit ‘rock bottom’.

For those who have difficulty maintaining day-to-day responsibilities, or who have completely lost everything due to their addiction, inpatient addiction treatment is recommended.

Heroin abuse, addiction and overdose have been on the rise in recent years around the globe.

And those numbers do not take into account any overdoses which did not result in death, or those suffering from heroin addiction who have not overdosed.
