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: Washington 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 Washington.

Addiction Stats for the State of Washington
Prescription pain pills can often be overprescribed to patients who realize that they have become dependent on the drug. With recent crackdowns in Washington on opioid abuse, there has been a huge resurgence of heroin-addicted people in Washington. 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 Washington.
To understand why this heroin problem has reached crisis levels in Washington State, one only has to look at the current numbers. Without exaggeration, they paint a sobering picture. In King County alone, in the year 2014, there were over 150 heroin-related deaths, and that number is rising every year. This is the highest death toll in over 20 years of recording. Opioid overdoses are over three times what they were from the year 2009. Treatment intakes for Heroin addiction have doubled in the last 3 years and continue to rise dramatically. Heroin is the most mentioned drug during Emergency Help Line calls. read the full report HERE
Recent testing on the purity of the heroin in Ohio has discovered a shocking ingredient mixed in with the heroin. Elephant tranquilizers and Fentanyl are being used to cut and increase the purity of heroin in Ohio and Midwestern states. The crude mixing techniques used by the drug dealers consist of a cheaply made blender to mix the heroin and cutting agents. This is one of the main reasons for the rising death toll that heroin has left in its wake. Heroin and the cutting agents not being well-mixed make for a product that is uncontrollable in dosages and purity levels. This trend is starting to make its way to the great northwest through the vast network of Mexican cartels that are shifting their focus to harder drugs due to the legalization of marijuana in the state.
Mexican drug trafficking cartels, which dominate the country’s illegal drug market, are increasingly transitioning to heroin, replanting marijuana fields in Mexico with opium to produce a more potent, powder form of heroin to meet the growing demands in the United States. Heroin is a fast-moving drug, and it is growing in popularity among the younger drug experimenters. Having a more pure form of heroin appeals to those who are abusing Pharmaceutical opioid pain relievers, giving them a cheaper option to stay off the painful withdrawal symptoms and a much lower cost. The introduction of a much purer form of synthetic Fentanyl hitting the streets and being used for a cut in the heroin has contributed greatly to the rise in overdose rates in Washington.
