Are You Ready for Rehab in Delft Colony, CA?

Knowing when it is time to enter a heroin rehab center can be difficult. If you have decided that it is time to fix the problem, this is a good indication that you are ready to explore your treatment options.

Dangers of Heroin Abuse and Addiction

Heroin addiction and abuse is the epidemic of our generation and affects people of all race, background, and class. Opiate related deaths are the leading cause of accidental deaths in the United States. The death toll per year of opiate overdoses resulting in death has recently taken the lead to vehicular collisions. Every 19 minutes someone is losing their life to this deadly drug.

Overdose and death are not the only worries for those using heroin. Injecting the drug puts users at high risks of contracting diseases through blood and bodily fluids. HIV and hepatitis C are among the common diseases we see transmitted through sharing needles.

Types of Therapies to Expect During Rehab in Delft Colony, CA

Therapists use different types of therapy depending on their training and the needs of the patient. The most widely known therapy is CBT, but other examples of potential therapy types include:

• 12-step facilitation therapy;
• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT);
• Community reinforcement approach (CRA);
• Contingency management (CM);
• Family behavior therapy (FBT);
• Motivational enhancement therapy (MET);
• Rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT);

Paying for Addiction Rehab in Delft Colony, CA

A common question is in regard to what it will cost to complete a heroin addiction rehab program. Costs vary between centers, but there are various options to help pay for treatment, including private insurance, sliding-scale fees, loans, or payment plans.

Signs and Symptoms of Heroin Addiction

If someone is using heroin on a regular basis, you may notice many different changes in both their appearance and behavior. Their skin may be flushed. They may keep scratching "itchy" skin. They may experience vomiting, shallow breathing or even fall asleep without warning. If they are using with needles, you may notice needle marks as well, but now that so many people prefer to sniff or smoke heroin, marks (or lack thereof) are not the only thing you should be looking for. Besides those signs, you may also stumble across their equipment — rubber tubing, syringes, metal or glass pipes, or even dirty spoons.

What are the long-term effects of heroin abuse in Delft Colony, CA?

Prolonged use of heroin has devastating physical effects. Chronic users may develop liver disease, collapsed veins, abscesses and infections. They may experience pulmonary diseases such as pneumonia. Because heroin sold on the street is not pure, it may contain additives that can clog vessels in the brain, lungs, kidneys or liver. If this complication does not result in death, it can cause infection. It destroys the addict both physically and emotionally if used for a long enough period of time.

Types of Rehab for Heroin Addiction in Delft Colony, CA

There are three main heroin treatment options available: inpatient, outpatient or residential treatment.

Inpatient rehab is in a facility where people live and undergo heroin detox and withdrawal. Medical providers provide medical and therapy services around the clock. The patient's time is structured to support the healing process.

Outpatient treatment requires a high level of trust between the patient and the doctor. Most doctors will only agree to outpatient treatment if they know the patient well.

Residential rehab blends inpatient and outpatient heroin treatment programs. For this type of treatment, patients live in a facility with access to medical and psychiatric care. However, people can leave and attend jobs, school, or fulfill their obligations. Residential treatment allows people to remove negative influences in their life that encourage drug and alcohol abuse while letting them continue to fulfill their roles.
