Heroin Rehab

Any and all use and abuse of heroin can pose serious risks to one’s life, especially because it is impossible to determine what other chemicals or substances are in heroin. For example, it is common practice for dealers to cut their heroin with other opioids like fentanyl to increase their profits. Unfortunately, fentanyl is tremendously potent and even the smallest bit of it can kill a person. The majority of opioid-related overdoses are caused by the presence of fentanyl in heroin.

Regardless of which type of heroin a person is using, continuing to use it is only going to put his or her life in jeopardy. In the United States alone, nearly one million people grapple with a heroin addiction and consequently experience repercussions of that use. These can include chronic unemployment, legal issues, financial problems, conflicts in relationships, physical health problems, psychiatric illness, and the guilt and shame that can develop if someone else is hurt as a result of the individual’s heroin use. The only true way to put a stop to a heroin addiction is to reach out and ask for help.

How Do I Know If I Need Professional Addiction Treatment?

If you are addicted to heroin, it can be hard to see just how dangerous of a situation you are in. The mental fog that follows you from day to day can start to convince you that you can keep using and nothing will happen to you. Unfortunately, that is not true. Knowing the signs of addiction can help you to determine if your relationship with heroin warrants professional addiction treatment. Ask yourself the following:

• Have you made attempts to stop using but have been unsuccessful?
• When you are unable to use, do you experience withdrawal symptoms?
• Have you continued to use heroin despite the consequences of your use?
• Have you lost your job or been expelled from school because of your use?
• Do your loved ones show concern about your heroin use?
• Do you feel like you will not be able to function if you cannot use heroin?

If any of these questions solicit a “yes” from you, then reaching out for treatment is the best and most important thing that you can do for yourself. At our heroin rehab in Lexington, KY, we can provide you with the care you need to stop abusing heroin for good.
