Counseling in heroin addiction treatment can help you understand and overcome your addiction.
Treatment for heroin addiction is an ongoing process that will take time and may require a multitude of different intervention steps in order to help you fully heal. Heroin rehab helps you overcome heroin addiction by providing you with the support, medical intervention and relapse prevention tools necessary to make better decisions, say “no” to drugs and restore balance into your life.
Relapse Prevention
Much of what you learn in heroin rehab will be about how you can prevent relapse in the future. Because heroin addiction is a disease, even with treatment there will ALWAYS be a risk of relapse. Heroin rehab will provide an array of relapse prevention techniques and may even provide you with Naltrexone, a medication that the National Institute on Drug Abuse claims can help.
Diminished Cravings
During heroin rehab, one of the main goals of treatment will be to help to diminish cravings that you are having so that you no longer “want” or feel like you “need” to use drugs. With each day of treatment that you make it through, the cravings that you are having will be gradually be diminished until eventually you will realize that your drug use really is a thing of the past.
Supportive Care
Heroin rehab provides a number of different opportunities for you to get supportive care including individual counseling and therapy sessions, group counseling and therapy sessions and various support groups such as NA. The support that you receive in treatment will be a foundation for your ongoing success in recovery.
Disengagement
Heroin rehab removes you from the situations in which you are accustomed to using drugs. The disengagement that comes with treatment will help you to adjust to other scenarios and to restore balance into your life.
Restoration of Routines
Each day in treatment will be filled with a routine that includes counseling, self-reflection and daily chores or activities. Because heroin addiction is often responsible for a lack of routine and a complete loss of sense of self, those in recovery find that the restoration of routines is helpful especially when they transition back into society.
Healing
Physical and mental healing on a wide range of levels will take place in treatment. You will be provided with medical care as well as psychological counseling that will aid in your recovery and in the healing of post addiction related problems. Much of your healing will take place in rehab and will continue on once you move forward in recovery.
