Heroin Rehab Arizona

Why is the Opioid Crisis So Widespread?

Heroin’s low cost and ease of access, along with the rise in fentanyl, have been a cause behind the current opioid epidemic. Also, heroin addiction has increased with the number of people who become addicted to prescription pain medications.

Whenever someone can no longer access these drugs (for instance, when their prescription runs out), it can be a compelling and lower cost alternative to turn to heroin and fentanyl.

Also, with prolonged use, the brain becomes used to experiencing pleasure from heroin. This results in diminished enjoyment from everyday activities.

It also triggers withdrawal symptoms from opiates. These can be severe, which makes recovery much more difficult.

Note that prolonged heroin use can lead to other serious health conditions. These include kidney and liver disease, lung infections, and a host of mental health conditions. This makes rehabilitation that much more vital.

How is Heroin Addiction Treated at Purpose Healing Center?

The safest way to manage heroin withdrawal symptoms is with medical detoxification. Supervised by physicians and nurses, medical detox not only eliminates all traces of heroin from your body but also prepares you for entering a personalized treatment program.

Completing medical detox for heroin means you will be in better physical health. In addition, the counseling you receive during detox helps you think more clearly about overcoming a heroin addiction. Purpose Healing Center provides medication support throughout detox to ease withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, joint pain, nausea and cravings.

Our inpatient opioid addiction treatment program takes place in a comfortable environment where patients receive 24/7 medical care, therapy, counseling, and support. The length of an inpatient treatment program is typically 30, 60, or 90 days. While participating in the program, patients reside and sleep in the treatment facility. Amenities such as housekeeping services and healthy meals are provided to ensure patients do not have to worry about anything except healing themselves and recovering from heroin addiction.

Intensive outpatient opioid addiction treatment at Purpose Healing Center allows patients to remain in their homes while receiving at least nine hours of therapeutic counseling each week. Patients can choose how they want to divide their hours at the center to accommodate family or work responsibilities. For example, you can visit our center three days a week for three hours of therapy each day. You may also schedule treatment hours on the weekend if preferable.

• Substance abuse education
• Medication management

Types of Therapy Used in at Our Arizona Heroin Rehab Programs

There are many different types of therapy. The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy is to identify negative beliefs or thought patterns that contribute to substance abuse and replace them with healthy ones. Family therapy can help address relational issues that contribute to abuse.

Group therapy can help create a supportive environment for the individual. These can be useful for sharing life experiences and advice for overcoming addiction.

The main thing to look for in a rehabilitation center is the willingness and ability to construct a recovery program tailored to the patient.

The right type of therapy depends on the individual and their unique circumstances. Having a range of available options can help achieve the right regimen.
