Types Of Heroin Treatment Programs
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: Mississippi 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 Mississippi.

Addiction Stats for the State of Mississippi
Prescription pain pills can often be overprescribed to patients who realize that they have become dependent on the drug. With recent crackdowns in Mississippi on opioid abuse, there has been a huge resurgence of heroin-addicted people in Mississippi. 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 Mississippi.
As Heroin overdose rates increase at an alarming rate nationwide, Mississippi has not been left out of the equation. Mississippi has had more deaths due to a heroin overdose in the first 6 months of 2016 than the previous 6 years combined. There have been 13 deaths in the first 6 months of the year and are on pace to reach 26-30 deaths from a heroin overdose by the year’s end. In Mississippi, nearly 60% of the 310 drug overdose deaths in 2018 involved opioids—a total of 173 fatalities (a rate of 6.1). The 3 counties with the highest rates of overdose deaths per 100,000 persons in 2020 were Pearl River County, Jackson County, and Yalobusha County. This is a dramatic increase in heroin-related deaths and if the trend continues, we will see even more deaths in the near future due to the availability of the drug. read the full report HERE
