Treating Opiate Addiction

Addiction to opiates, including heroin and prescription painkillers, OxyContin™, codeine, Vicodin™, hydrocodone, oxycodone, and more, require medical detox and psychological addiction treatment. Though many focus on the physical aspect of opiate addiction due to the extreme physical withdrawal symptoms, psychological dependence and cravings are just as significant. It would help if you chose an opiate residential treatment that addresses both the physical and psychological addiction of drug use and offers aftercare services so that you have continued support in sobriety after you return home. 

Treating Heroin Addiction

Opiate addiction and heroin addiction are two of the most challenging types of drug addiction to fight. A methadone drug detox is standard in heroin addiction treatment. It has proven to be very successful in helping those dealing with the issue remain drug-free for longer periods. After a patient is stabilized on a methadone dose comparable to a heroin dose, they slowly begin to drop that dose milligram by milligram until they are completely drug-free. The amount of time spent on methadone will vary from person to person. Still, the most significant benefit is the minimal withdrawal symptoms and the ability to immediately turn your attention to the psychological aspect of opiate addiction. 

What Is a Methadone Treatment Program?

Methadone treatment programs are offered at licensed methadone clinics and usually involve daily visits to take a dose of the medication under supervision. Trained medical professionals at a detox center regulate the dosage to ensure the patient’s well-being.

In addition to medication, Michael’s House has a methadone treatment program that also includes therapy and support groups to address the underlying issues contributing to addiction and provide tools for long-term recovery. There are some physical and mental benefits to choosing a methadone treatment program. Those benefits can include the following:
