Heroin Detox

Heroin abuse can lead to serious addiction problems which you must address with hospital detox. After months or even years of daily heroin use you have probably tried to quit many times but failed. Detox from heroin can quickly become very physically uncomfortable as your body tries to rid itself of the opiate. Beginning as sleeplessness, sneezing, and anxiety the condition can quickly evolve into severe chills shaking, nausea and vomiting. Quitting "cold-turkey" has a very low success rate. Hospital Based Detox followed by continued treatment has a much higher rate of recovery.

Often when a person is using heroin they may be doing to mask an underlying mental illness. Poinciana patients requiring psychiatric evaluation after detoxification can be referred to The Pavilion at Columbia Hospital, an on-site 88-bed inpatient psychiatric facility offering the most comprehensive psychiatric services in Palm Beach County.

Poinciana doctors can also refer you to a rehabilitation facility that will offer you the same level of care and treatment that you will receive at our facility. Our non-judgmental, compassionate homelike atmosphere will both impress and inspire you to get well.

Help is available

Opiates when taken long term or in higher doses can cause a physical dependency on the drug. Your body begins to show physical signs of distress when you stop taking the drug. These symptoms can include, runny nose, shaking, sweating, sleeplessness, anxiety, diarrhea and more. You may have the mental strength to stop, but your body is having physical reactions which should be monitored by a physician. Being monitored by a physician is extremely important as you may have other underlying conditions. See our "why a hospital" page to get more information on why we believe that a hospital based opiate detoxification program is the way to go. We can help you get your life back.
