Signs of Heroin Addiction
There are behavioral signs someone is addicted to heroin. A change in appearance can be a sign. Often, this manifests as a sharp decline in personal hygiene. An individual may stop shaving, bathing, grooming, or keeping their attire clean. When pressed about this change in appearance, individuals will be unnecessarily aggressive. Because heroin is an illicit drug, individuals using it become very secretive. Even when talking about seemingly ordinary things or events, they may appear agitated or unforthcoming. The combination of craving the drug and shame from use can be responsible for this. Other clear signs of heroin addiction include money issues, work quality rapidly declining for no apparent reason, issues at school, and a willingness to engage in risky or dangerous behaviors.
Once an individual develops an addiction to heroin, the severity of withdrawal symptoms can prevent them from seeking treatment. Heroin withdrawal symptoms vary from user to user. However, without support, detoxing from heroin can be so uncomfortable that many individuals relapse. Some common heroin withdrawal symptoms include:
- Nausea
- Sweats and chills
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Tremors
On top of these symptoms, individuals may experience more severe issues endangering their health, such as:
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Increased heart rate (arrhythmia)
- Seizures
- Hallucinations
- Slowed breathing
If not properly monitored in a safe, secure environment by medical professionals like those at our heroin rehab center, these symptoms can be life-threatening.
Treatment Programs at Our Heroin Rehab Center Near Keizer
- Residential Treatment: When most think of rehab, they think of this kind of short-term residential treatment where individuals get the therapy they need in a structured, tightly supervised environment.
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): For those who need a strong level of supervision but not round the clock monitoring, PHP is a means to get treatment for addiction.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Some individuals need treatment that accommodates their work and family responsibilities. We design IOP to provide clients with a concentrated treatment that fits their schedule.
- Extended Care: Not everyone completes treatment at the same time. For individuals in need of care going beyond the standard time frame to feel secure in their recovery, we offer this option.
