Heroin addiction is a serious and often overwhelming substance use disorder that can take a significant toll on both your physical and emotional well-being. The addiction process is all-consuming, and the battle to overcome it can feel never-ending.

At Clear Behavioral Health, our expert team of clinicians has developed heroin addiction treatment programs specifically designed to address heroin addiction at its source, helping you heal and work toward a future of hope and recovery.

Heroin Addiction Treatment at Clear Behavioral Health

Living with heroin addiction is challenging, and we are here to support you through your withdrawal with our detox services, and your recovery through our rehab programs. Our comprehensive heroin addiction treatment programs are created to prioritize you and where you are in your recovery journey, and provide support to address the root causes of your addiction.

Initial Heroin Addiction Assessment

When you begin your journey with us, our clinical staff will thoroughly assess you and your heroin addiction symptoms to determine the best course of action for your treatment.

This allows us to identify your symptoms, evaluate the level of care required, and create a personalized treatment plan aimed at helping you achieve healing, independence, and lasting recovery from heroin addiction.

Our Residential Rehab for Heroin Addiction Treatment

We offer semi-private, comfortable rooms, group outings to reconnect with nature, and in-house meals prepared locally and delivered daily. Our residential treatment is designed to provide a nurturing and healing environment, allowing you the time and space to work through your heroin addiction symptoms and regain control of your life.

During your heroin addiction treatment in our residential rehab in the Los Angeles, CA area, you will receive a comprehensive treatment regimen that includes heroin detox with medication support for managing your withdrawal symptoms, individual therapy sessions, group therapy with your peers, holistic therapy such as breathwork, yoga and art therapy, case management sessions to build fundamental life-skills, 12 step meetings, and 24/7 support from our knowledgeable staff.

Heroin Detox Support

The first step when recovering from heroin addiction is going through detox from the substance in a safe and monitored environment, as the withdrawal symptoms can have a significant impact on your mental and physical well-being.

Our detox program is clinically supervised and has on-site nursing staff and regular check–ins with a doctor to ensure a more manageable withdrawal from heroin and the associated symptoms.

Our PHP & IOP Programs
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) & Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Depending where you are in your recovery journey, the next step after rehab is our PHP and IOP Programs. Both programs for heroin addiction include one-on-one and group therapy sessions with medication management where needed, case management sessions on an individual and group level, and our holistic therapy.

Our outpatient treatment programs allow a more flexible schedule to live at home while attending the program during the day or evening and provides a community of mentors, relapse prevention education, personalized assessments, and holistic healing methods, and our PHP and IOP treatments ensure full and sustainable mind-body wellness.

What to Expect with Our PHP and IOP Programs

Depending on the level of care that best suits your needs, you’ll begin at the PHP level of care and then move into the IOP program or may begin at the IOP level. In either case, once you’ve completed your treatment, you’ll become a part of our supportive alumni community, providing hope and healing to those who need treatment after you.

Our treatment programs are structured with therapy and case management at both an individual and group level, as well as holistic therapy and medication management for a heroin detox and addiction treatment schedule that provides healing at every step. These programs include:

Individual Therapy

Weekly sessions with a therapist to help you explore the underlying causes of your heroin addiction, identify your triggers, and develop coping strategies to last a lifetime.

Medication Management

If necessary, our clinicians will prescribe and monitor medications to manage heroin addiction withdrawal symptoms and support recovery.

Holistic Groups

Yoga, meditation, sound baths, and other holistic therapies are practiced daily to restore balance between your mind and body.

What is Heroin and Heroin Addiction?

Heroin is a synthesized opioid substance from the opium poppy that has been derived illegally and sold across the world, impacting and widely abused by millions to alleviate pain and anxiety while inducing a euphoric high. Heroin is mainly found in the form of a white or brown powder or a black sticky substance, and is highly addictive, and can often lead to overdose or death.

Heroin addiction, classified as an opioid use disorder, is a chronic condition that occurs when someone becomes physically and psychologically dependent on heroin. Chronic heroin abuse also presents significant health risks including heroin overdose.

Heroin addiction is not a result of moral failure or poor decisions but a complex disorder that affects the brain and behavior. Heroin use can significantly alter your life, impairing relationships, health, and daily functioning.
