Heroin is a highly addictive drug that can alter your brain chemistry, behavior, and thoughts, and feelings. This drug takes a tremendous toll on the body of young and older adults alike. It also has debilitating withdrawal symptoms that make it difficult to quit on your own. If you would like to find a heroin rehab program in Asheville, North Carolina, look no further than Red Oak Recovery. Contact us today at 866.457.7590 to learn about the treatment options available.

When Should You Seek Help for Heroin Use Disorder?

Because of the drug’s addictive nature, using heroin just once or twice puts you at significant risk for heroin use disorder. Once your brain and body become dependent on heroin, it’s challenging to quit on your own.

Here are some of the signs that indicate you or someone you love may need substance use treatment:

  • Excessive mood swings
  • Periods of joyful behavior followed by fatigue
  • Sleeping for long periods
  • Stealing to pay for heroin
  • Losing interest in friends and hobbies
  • Lying to your family members

If you recognize these or other symptoms of heroin dependency, it’s time to get help at a reputable heroin rehab center. At Red Oak Recovery, our treatment programs include dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders. This comprehensive approach can help you avoid relapse due to unaddressed triggers and cravings.

Can I Quit Heroin on My Own?

Some people try to stop using heroin on their own all at once. Due to the pain and discomfort of heroin withdrawal symptoms, this puts you at great risk for relapse. Many people who begin to detox alone end up using heroin to alleviate the withdrawal symptoms, which include the following:

  • Insomnia
  • Numb emotions
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Muscle spasms
  • Drug cravings
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Hypertension
  • Difficulty breathing

While withdrawal symptoms from heroin don’t typically put your life in immediate danger, they make you feel very sick. So, many people take heroin to alleviate the pain of withdrawal symptoms. That’s why you need a safe, structured environment with medical professionals and therapists who can help you work through this difficult time.

What Causes a Relapse?

Because of the powerful control that heroin has over your brain and body, it begins to change the way you think. Heroin causes the white matter in your brain to shrink, making it hard for you to have healthy reactions to ordinary circumstances.

Perhaps your heroin use developed after you used prescribed painkillers. You may have chronic pain or other conditions that make it difficult to function without some pain relief. So, you use heroin again to ease your discomfort. At Red Oak Recovery, we use medication and behavioral therapy to help you learn ways to overcome cravings and avoid a relapse.

What Does Heroin Rehab in Asheville, NC Include?

We welcome clients from within Asheville, throughout North Carolina, and around the country. Some of our holistic and science-based therapies include the following:

  • Men’s rehab treatment
  • Dual diagnosis treatment
  • Individual and group therapy
  • Cognitive behavior therapy
  • Trauma therapy

It takes a lot of courage to ask for help for heroin addiction. Fortunately, we are only a short drive away in Asheville, North Carolina. Our gender-specific programs for young men and women allow our clients to open up freely and avoid conflicts and distractions in mixed groups.
