Heroin Detox

Heroin Detoxification using Suboxone is the first major breakthrough in the treatment of opiate dependence in more than fifty years. To date, the FDA has found Suboxone to be a safe and effective medication. Our Suboxone Heroin Detox Program is competitively priced, pain free, safe and short-term.

Suboxone Detox for heroin dependence is a comprehensive withdrawal treatment program designed to alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms. Heroin detox helps opiate addicts recover from physiological dependence and psychological craving. Heroin detoxification is a broad approach treatment program that addresses emotional problems such as; depression, obsession and impulsivity, as well as, physiological concerns such as; nutrition, hydration, rest and pain.

Heroin Tolerance is described as the decrease in pharmacologic effects after repeated heroin administration and the need for higher doses to get the same effect. Opiate tolerance is faster than any other drug classification.

Heroin Dependence is a physiological response to pharmacologic effects of chronic heroin use. More specifically, heroin dependence is defined as the probability of experiencing heroin abstinence syndrome also known as opiate withdrawals soon after heroin (diacetylmorphine) use is discontinued. The common symptoms of opiate abstinence syndrome are:

  • Yawning
  • Lacrimation (tearing)
  • Sneezing
  • Agitation
  • Tremor
  • Insomnia
  • Diarrhea
  • Mydriasis (pupil dilation)
  • Pyrexia (body temperature above 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit)
  • Hyperalgesia (hypersensitivity to pain)
  • Tachycardia (heart rate above 100 BPM for adults)
  • Hyperexcitability of the sympathetic nervous system (Fight or Flight)

Heroin abstinence syndrome is best explained as the exact opposite effects of heroin use. For example; miosis (constricted pupils), constipation and relaxation are signs of heroin use, while, mydriasis, diarrhea and agitation are signs of prolonged heroin abstinence.

Heroin Addiction is more than tolerance and physical dependency. Heroin addiction combines tolerance, dependency and three key psychological characteristics. The psychological characteristics of heroin addiction are:

  • Compulsive heroin use
  • Using diacetylmorphine (heroin) for euphoric effects
  • Preoccupation with acquiring heroin and associated paraphernalia (needles, spoons, cotton)
