Heroin Addiction Treatment
Treatment for heroin addiction at Bradshaw Recovery starts with a safe medical detox, where clinical staff manage withdrawal symptoms and keep you comfortable. From there you move into evidence-based therapy and structured care, followed by long-term aftercare that supports you as you rebuild a life without heroin.
How Bradshaw Recovery Treats Heroin Addiction
Your care begins with a clinical assessment that looks at how long you have used heroin, how much, and what your health and living situation allow. That assessment sets your level of care. If you are physically dependent, medical detox comes first, because heroin withdrawal (the aches, nausea, sweating, and restlessness that peak in the early days) is intensely uncomfortable and safer managed with medication and monitoring.
Once you are stable, treatment moves into residential programming or, when you have steady support at home, an intensive outpatient schedule. If anxiety, depression, or trauma sits underneath the use, you are treated for both at the same time. We do not separate the mental health work from the addiction work. They belong together.
Therapies We Use
Your care plan starts with an assessment, then a combination of therapies matched to what you actually need. That usually means cognitive behavioral therapy to change the patterns behind use, group sessions with people in similar situations, and support that involves your family. When it fits your history, medication-assisted treatment is part of that plan too.
