There are many different styles of rehab programs for heroin addiction available in Washington state. It is important for you to find the right treatment center to handle your heroin detox and usage. We are here to help you find the best solution for yourself or a loved one’s heroin addiction.

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

Inpatient treatment for heroin addiction is by far the best option for someone who has tried to stop heroin and failed in an outpatient or self-help program previously. For those who are in early development in their heroin addiction, some outpatient programs may work for those that put in the time and effort to stay away from their old habits and friends while going through the programs. Getting someone who is addicted to heroin into a program for a minimum of 45-90 days is highly recommended.

Heroin abuse is a serious problem and once the addiction takes hold of a person it can take a medical detox to help with the painful withdrawal that can be associated with heroin addiction. Some people will find that once they have gone through the detox process they decide that they do not want to go through with treatment because they “feel better now”. We strongly urge people to find a treatment program that is at least a long drive away from home, 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. This is where we can help.

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 too 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 also alleviates the temptation to use heroin due to the opioid-blocking drug Naltrexone.

Heroin Epidemic reaches 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.

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 the 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 makes 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. If you know someone who is looking for help, or if you are looking for rehab for yourself, in Washington, give us a call today. We can help you get the process of entering into a drug rehab started.
