Heroin Addiction Treatment
Heroin withdrawal hits hard, usually within 12 hours of your last dose, which is why treatment at Hollick Institute starts with safe medical detox. From there you move into evidence-based therapy and a long-term aftercare plan built around your life, not a generic checklist.
How Hollick Institute Treats Heroin Addiction
Heroin withdrawal usually starts within hours of your last dose, bringing muscle aches, nausea, sweating, and a level of cravings that makes quitting on your own extremely hard. That is why treatment here begins with a clinical assessment. We look at how long you have used, how much, and whether other conditions are present, then match you to the right level of care.
When withdrawal needs medical support, medical detox keeps you safe and comfortable while your body clears the drug. From there you move into residential programming or a more flexible outpatient schedule. If depression, anxiety, or trauma is part of the picture, we treat it alongside the addiction, not in a separate track.
Therapies We Use
No two people arrive with the same history, so your care plan gets built around what you actually need. That usually means cognitive behavioral therapy to work on the thoughts driving your use, group therapy with people who get it, and family support to repair what addiction strained. When it fits your case clinically, medication-assisted treatment is part of the plan too.
