Heroin Rehab | Heroin Addiction Treatment

As one of our former clients explains:

“Coming to rehab made a huge difference to my life in so many ways, not just in terms of managing my condition but in all aspects of my life…all I can say is go for it – you won’t regret it and it may well just save your life.”

Heroin rehab at Linwood House begins with heroin detox which breaks physical dependency, allows your body and mind to start healing and provides you with the necessary state to really move forward with your recovery.

At Linwood House, we know that heroin can isolate people from their loved ones, making overcoming heroin use even harder. This is why our recovery approach is centred around connection and a pillar of peer support.

Many of our therapists have been through rehab themselves and are familiar with the challenges you are facing. You will also be able to connect with other clients in heroin rehab who are on the same journey, creating an inclusive environment and a trusting family unit that cannot be achieved through outpatient rehab.

We also offer a Family Support Programme, with weekly group sessions designed for loved ones. These meetings can provide your loved ones with essential guidance, provide answers to important questions and help you build a support network.

It is always best to seek help as soon as possible but it is not always easy to recognise the need for treatment. If you are unsure of whether you need heroin rehab, the following questions may help:

• Have you attempted to quit heroin use but found that you couldn’t?
• Do you feel like you need to use heroin to feel normal, or have a need to feel the rush of using heroin?
• Do you socialise only or mostly with others who use heroin or other drugs?
• Have you lied or deceived loved ones about your whereabouts, heroin use or your financial situation?
• Do you spend much of your time obtaining, using or recovering from the effects of heroin?
• Are you neglecting your personal, home or work responsibilities because of your heroin use?
• Have you continued using heroin despite the negative consequences that may have come about due to it?

If the answer to any of these is yes, reach out to our support team to discuss any of your questions and concerns and learn about our various treatment options.

Heroin use does not only affect the individual but all of those closest to them as well and you may be having a difficult time if you have a loved one going through heroin rehab.

The most important thing when a loved one is in recovery is offering your support and understanding as knowing they are not alone can help them focus solely on their recovery.

Here are some other ways in which you can help:

• Attend family support programmes
• Visit your loved one in heroin rehab and offer your support
• Encourage your loved one to participate in therapies and treatment programmes
• Offer them a safe, sober and supportive home environment when they leave heroin rehab
• Stay in touch with their therapists or counsellors
• Encourage them to attend aftercare appointments and offer to drive them to therapy.
