Heroin Addiction Treatment
Heroin has a grip that willpower alone rarely breaks. We start with safe medical detox, then move into therapy built around your real life. From there, we plan for the long haul with steady aftercare. At Dodson Recovery, we walk every step with you.
How Dodson Recovery Treats Heroin Addiction
Heroin withdrawal usually starts within hours of the last dose. Muscle aches, nausea, restlessness, and cravings can hit hard and fast. We start with a clinical assessment. That tells us the right level of care for you, not a one-size plan.
When withdrawal needs supervision, medical detox keeps you safe and more comfortable through the roughest days. From there, many people step into residential treatment. Others do well in an intensive outpatient program while keeping up work or family life.
Depression, anxiety, and trauma often ride alongside heroin use. We treat those together with the addiction, in the same plan, with the same team. That is how change lasts.
Therapies We Use
Two therapies rarely fix everything. Recovery needs layers. We build each care plan around proven methods that fit your life.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy to reshape the thinking behind old habits
- Group therapy where honesty comes easier with people who get it
- Family support that mends the people around you too
- Medication-assisted treatment when it makes clinical sense
