Christian Heroin Rehab

Explanation Of Those In Need Of A Heroin Rehab…

Heroin is a highly addictive illicit opiate derived from the opium poppy found mainly in Asia and the Middle East. Heroin is processed from morphine and is distributed in the streets in the form of either a brown or white powder or a black sticky tar substance. Heroin is a depressant and works on the central nervous system and when interacted with the opioid receptors of the brain; the overall functions of the body and organs will slow down and make the user feel drowsy upon their initial high. If left untreated without the help of a heroin rehab, one could die!

Heroin can be smoked, snorted, or injected which unfortunately is most common due to the addict’s ability of reaching the climax of the high within seven (7) seconds which produces an incomparable “rush” the user wants to recreate. Due to overwhelming desire to re-experience said high, the user develops a tolerance to the drug and more often than not results in overdosing and risking potential death. The addict’s now diseased brain and dependent body has reasoned how it is worth breaking the law and doing anything necessary to continually chase the high heroin provides. Not to mention the importance of having to avoid symptoms associated with withdrawling. The heroin addict is no longer concerned with ramifications such as overdose, incarceration or even death. Herein lies the vicious cycle of addiction that occurs with heroin until the addict either ends up in jail, heroin rehab, prison, or dies.

Heroin Christian Rehab Treatment for Addicts

It is extremely important if you or a loved one is suffering from a heroin addiction to seek professional Christian treatment (Heroin Rehab) immediately as this particular substance has the lethal potential to end a life faster than any other drug. The steps one can expect in addressing their heroin addiction are as follows. First, you must successfully undergo detoxification (a process usually involving medical management and medication to safely taper from heroin use) to avoid or curtail withdrawal symptoms as much as possible. You may bypass the medical management process altogether (which is not necessarily like a heroin rehab) and go through a “social detoxification”  that does involve placement in a residential inpatient heroin rehab relying heavily on staff and fellow group members for support and guidance.

Whichever route you proceed with, the next step will be inpatient Christian treatment to force a physical separation between you and the heroin. You will give your brain the necessary rest it requires to function properly again. In severe cases you will need to take Naltrexone pills or shots to curb cravings, aid with depression, and cap off opioid receptors. Inpatient Christian treatment will also allow time for you to become aware of your triggers and true reasons behind using as well as to develop new alternative healthy coping skills. You will also have the opportunity to explore your underlying issues and mental health concerns.

To successfully recover from heroin, you must then complete an aftercare (outpatient) program to ensure accountability and to keep the heroin addiction at bay. Upon successfully completion of both detox, inpatient, and outpatient Christian treatments, one can expect to continue to regularly attend self-help meetings within their local community. You may also find yourself living in a monitored environment such as “Sober Living”.
