Signs & Side Effects
What are the Signs of Heroin Addiction?
Understanding the early signs of heroin addiction can help you or someone you love get help sooner. Addiction is often sneaky, progressing over time until it affects every aspect of life. Keep an eye out for the following symptoms:
- Overpowering urges or cravings
- Using more than intended or struggling to cut back
- Extreme mood changes or feeling emotionally numb
- Ignoring job, school, or social obligations
- Taking dangerous risks or acting out of character
- Track marks or open wounds around veins from injecting
- Poor hygiene or a decline in personal care
How Heroin Abuse Impacts Your Health
Heroin abuse takes a heavy toll on overall health, and even limited use can quickly lead to dangerous shifts in brain function. As addiction takes hold, it can disrupt your daily life, relationships, and sense of self-worth. Possible consequences include:
- Memory loss and trouble focusing
- Ongoing insomnia and disturbed sleep
- Noticeable loss of body weight
- Heart issues and valve damage
- Liver or kidney disease

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Concerns
Taking the first step toward recovery often comes with uncertainty and questions – and that’s completely normal. We’ve compiled answers to the questions we hear most often to help ease your concerns and provide clarity about our program.
Our goal is to ensure you feel informed and confident as you begin this important journey.
How long does heroin detox typically last?
The length of heroin detox can vary depending on individual factors like current health condition, duration of use, and the amount of substance consumed. Most people experience the most intense withdrawal symptoms within the first week, but some symptoms may persist for several weeks. We will monitor your progress and provide support throughout the process.
Will I receive medications during outpatient heroin detox?
Yes, medications may be used to help manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings during detox. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your needs, and a medical professional will determine which FDA-approved medications are appropriate for you. The goal is to make you feel as safe and comfortable as possible.
What if I relapse during detox?
Relapsing does not mean you have failed, as it is often a part of the journey for many people. If you experience a relapse, your treatment team will respond with understanding and adjust your care plan to meet your needs. Our aim is to help you regain momentum with compassion and continued support.
What happens after I complete outpatient heroin detox?
Completing detox is an important first step, but ongoing care is often needed to support long-term sobriety. We will help you transition to additional services, such as one-on-one counseling, psychoeducational groups, therapy, or aftercare programs. This approach can help you build a strong foundation for lasting wellness.
Can I drive myself to and from my appointments?
It depends on how you are feeling and any medications you may be prescribed during the treatment. Some people experience symptoms that can temporarily affect alertness or coordination. The team will advise you on whether it’s safe for you to drive or if it’s better to arrange for transportation during the initial phase of detox.
What happens if I miss a scheduled appointment?
Missing an appointment can happen, but it’s important to let us know right away. We will work with you to find a new time and address any concerns you may have about keeping up with your program. Staying engaged with your appointments supports your recovery, and we are here to help you overcome any obstacles along the way.
