Heroin Addiction Treatment Programs in Hawaii
The Heroin Addiction Treatment Programs in Hawaii are specialized to help a person who is addicted to heroin overcome their drug abuse and recover in a safe, supportive environment. Heroin addiction is not something to take lightly. Heroin is an illicit, and highly addictive drug. It is one of the most abused and the most rapidly acting members of opioids. People who abuse heroin describe a feeling of pleasurable sensation, or “rush” or “high”. Repeatedly using high doses of heroin can result in physical dependence or addiction. Heroin dependency is best treated in an inpatient drug rehab center. There are many different styles of substance abuse treatment programs available. It is very important for you to find the right drug rehab center to handle your specific needs. It is sometimes beneficial for the client to go to treatment further away from home. Getting away from temptations and friends who may still be using is often better for many people. Clients who go to rehab in another state also have a harder time leaving treatment early as well. Depending on the situation, our counselors may suggest looking for substance abuse programs that are a plane flight away. Our treatment specialists are here to help you find the best solution for yourself or a loved one’s heroin misuse. Knowing the different options for detox and treatment can be the difference between success and failure in recovery.

Types Of Heroin Treatment Programs
Treating heroin addiction will involve many steps to make the recovery process effective. For most people, there will be a need for a medical detox to alleviate the symptoms of heroin withdrawal before going to a drug rehab center.
DETOX: Heroin addiction can sometimes include other drugs so it is very important to make sure that you disclose all of the drugs you are currently taking and have taken in the past 6 months. This will help the detox center better diagnose and prescribe the best medications to make your detox go smoothly and as pain-free as possible. Do not try to detox on your own. Heroin withdrawal can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the length of heroin use, and the amount of heroin being abused on a daily basis.
Inpatient rehabs: Detox should be followed by an extensive stay, at a heroin inpatient treatment program. Most of the people who have fought heroin addiction have one thing in common: They recovered from their addiction at an inpatient heroin rehab center. Some people can find sobriety in an outpatient treatment program but due to the temptations and availability to go find heroin, this type of program is less effective in treating the addiction as a whole. The typical stay for someone recovering from heroin addiction can vary from center to center and usually consists of 30-90-day programs.
Private Inpatient drug rehabs offer the best results for long-lasting sobriety from Heroin addiction. The best treatment facilities for heroin will offer different types of treatment models and detox options for the person who is suffering from the adverse effects of heroin.
Court-ordered treatment: There are many Drug Rehab Facilities that accept criminal justice clients and people with open court cases as an alternative to jail. County and state courts will often suggest treatment in place of jail time for some first-time offender cases.
State-funded heroin treatment programs: Hawaii has set aside some resources for the treatment of heroin addiction. Please call our specialists to find out if you qualify for these state-funded rehab programs that are offered in Hawaii.

Heroin Addiction Medications and Uses
Sometimes a medical intervention can be used to help wean a person off of heroin at a slower rate, alleviating the withdrawal symptoms normally associated with heroin detox.
Buprenorphine: Being an opioid, Buprenorphine accesses the same receptors in the brain that heroin interacts with. This allows for a seemingly painless transition while managing cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Methadone: Over the last few decades, this drug has become a bit controversial due to the fact that the body can build up a tolerance quickly if taken too often, and it is under investigation for being potentially addictive. Methadone is considerably stronger than Buprenorphine but works in the same manner, offering alleviated symptoms from withdrawal.
Naltrexone: Designed to block opioid receptors, blocking the effects that would normally take place once Heroin or an opioid is entered into the system. Also used in treating alcoholism.
Suboxone: Specifically designed to work in combination with Buprenorphine and Naltrexone. This combination of drugs not only manages the addiction but also alleviates the temptation to use heroin due to the opioid-blocking drug Naltrexone.

Addiction Stats for the State of Hawaii
Heroin addiction has become an epidemic in Hawaii, and the way the government treats addicts has not proven to combat the problem. The State of Hawaii has an antiquated policy of locking people up in their prison system rather than getting the addict the help they need. Study after study has shown us that the incarceration of heroin addicts has not helped the problem at large but actually fueled the problem to continue. Studies have also shown that the treatment of addicts is less expensive and far more effective than locking up addicts in Hawaii. Too often, people are being punished in Hawaii for the sole crime of being an addict, and in many cases, this leads to a felony that can have a life-long sentence for someone not being able to find work or decent housing. Prescription pain pills can often be overprescribed to patients who realize that they have become dependent on the drug. With recent crackdowns in Hawaii on opioid abuse, there has been a huge resurgence of heroin-addicted people in Hawaii. Adding to the problem is the fact that heroin is often times cut with Fentanyl (used for pain relief for end-stage cancer patients) and the potency can vary, leading to elevated heroin overdose deaths in Hawaii. In 2020, there were 274 overdose deaths in Hawaii, approximately 18.3 overdose deaths per 100,000 people (age-adjusted). The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing lockdowns were contributing factors to accelerated opioid use and substance misuse. Read the entire study here.
