Heroin Addiction Rehab in Massachusetts
Heroin is a highly addictive drug that belongs to the class of opioid substances. Opioid addiction is considered an epidemic in the United States, and in 2021, the CDC reported that 75% of drug overdose deaths involved opioids. In Massachusetts, opioid deaths increased by 2.5% from 2021 to 2022.
These numbers tell the story of how widespread and devastating the heroin and opioid epidemic is. Heroin, as an illegal drug, doesn’t discriminate. It is, unfortunately, easy to find, including for young adults and teenagers. Heroin is so highly addictive that it’s possible to become addicted after using it just once or twice.
All of these factors combined are why Rockland Recovery is so dedicated to helping those with heroin addiction with evidence-based addiction treatment and a team of medical and mental health experts who believe in each person’s potential to achieve recovery.
If you or a loved one need help overcoming heroin addiction, we urge you to contact Rockland Recovery at 888-299-4833 today. We have care coordinators available 24/7. We also encourage you to reach out to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). SAMHSA offers a National Helpline that can be reached at any time of the day or night at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).
Heroin Addiction Treatment Plan
Effective treatment for heroin addiction requires a dedicated approach with a continuum of care that moves you from medically supervised detox all the way through aftercare planning.
Each person that comes to Rockland Recovery is an individual with their own life story that brought them here. With heroin addiction, there is often underlying trauma or mental health issues that need to be addressed and treated for successful addiction recovery.
Heroin Detox
The first step in overcoming heroin addiction at Rockland Recovery is entering our medically supervised detox program. Detoxification safely manages the acute physical symptoms of withdrawal associated with heroin use.
This phase is critical as it helps cleanse the body in a safe environment, reducing the risks associated with sudden cessation of drug use. Our team provides 24/7 medical supervision to ensure safety and comfort during this challenging time.
Inpatient Rehab for Heroin Addiction
Following detox, patients may transition to our inpatient rehab program. This provides a structured environment for recovery. Here, each individual’s treatment is tailored to address not only their addiction but also any underlying mental health issues, such as trauma or depression, often seen with heroin dependence.
Our program includes dual diagnosis treatment, which simultaneously treats co-occurring mental health conditions alongside addiction. Inpatient rehab typically involves a combination of individual and group therapy sessions, medication-assisted treatment, and other complementary therapies.
These interventions are designed to help patients develop coping strategies, understand the root causes of their addiction, and start building a foundation for long-term recovery.
Outpatient Heroin Treatment
Once a patient completes inpatient rehab, they may step down to our outpatient treatment program. This phase allows individuals to continue their recovery while gradually reintegrating into their daily lives.
Outpatient treatment includes regular therapy sessions and may also involve ongoing medication management, support groups, and access to educational workshops. This level of care supports the transition by maintaining a connection to support systems and therapeutic resources.
Post Treatment Support and Recovery
At Rockland Recovery, we understand that the journey to overcome heroin addiction doesn’t end when formal treatment concludes. Ongoing support is important to maintaining sobriety and ensuring long-term recovery. Our post-treatment support services are designed to help individuals navigate the challenges of life after heroin rehab and continue their path toward wellness. Here’s what we offer as part of your ongoing support:
- Continued Therapy and Counseling
- Support Groups and 12-Step Work
- Alumni Programs
- Relapse Prevention Planning
- Lifestyle and Wellness Coaching
Through these comprehensive post-treatment support services, Rockland Recovery ensures that every individual has the resources and support they need to succeed in recovery and build a fulfilling, substance-free life.
