Heroin Addiction Treatment Programs in Iowa

When searching for a rehab program in Iowa, it is important to remember that not all heroin rehabs are the same. Some addiction recovery centers will offer medical detox options while others will have a person tough out their withdrawal. We have found that a 90-day heroin rehab can offer the best results for long-lasting sobriety. Finding the treatment that not only heals the body but also heals the mind as well will be the difference between success and failure. 

Heroin addicts, too often find that once they go through the detox process, find themselves not wanting to go through with treatment or want to have one more romance with the drug before entering rehab for their addiction to Heroin. We strongly urge people to find a treatment program that is at least a long drive away to make the person have a chance to think about leaving a program before they make a seriously bad decision to leave before the heroin rehab is completed.

Heroin Detox Centers in Iowa

Treating heroin addiction in Iowa 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.
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 using and have taken in the past 6 months. This will help the detox center for heroin addiction, 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 Heroin Rehabs

Detox should be followed by an extensive stay at a Heroin Inpatient treatment program. Private Inpatient drug rehabs offer the best results for long-lasting sobriety from a Heroin addiction. 

Most of the people who have fought with 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. 

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 a 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 to often and 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 it also alleviates the temptation to use heroin due to the opioid-blocking drug Naltrexone.

With the recent crackdown on prescription medications, there has been a hole left in the drug market which has led the way for heroin to fill that void. The fatal overdose rate has risen from 1 or 2 in the early 2000s to 20 in 2013 and 19 last year. In Cedar Rapids alone, this year through June 5th of this year, there have been 52 reported overdoses in the city, 44 of which were heroin-related. Heroin has accounted for 85 percent of all overdose calls this year.

The National Heroin Epidemic is a growing concern nationwide. It has been spurred on by people who were previously using opiate pain medications and have found that addiction can be very expensive. When black-market opioids range in price from 10 dollars a pill to 80 dollars for oxy’s and when this addiction becomes too expensive to sustain, often the person trades their pill addiction for a much cheaper and more potent alternative, Heroin.

Heroin addiction is reaching epidemic in the country. With Mexico producing 50% more heroin than they have in previous years. This ramp-up in heroin production is due in part to the medical marijuana and legal marijuana the United States cutting into their illegal drug trade. This has made the cartels shift their focus on the sale and distribution of harder drugs to maintain their profitability. There has also been a significant improvement in the Mexican heroin purity which has brought the drug more into the mainstream due to its new white powder form.
