Heroin Detox - Heroin Detoxification - Heroin Detox and Treatment

Heroin Detox:

A proper Heroin detox helps a person's body chemically re-balance itself. During a heroin detox, the body needs large quantities of extra nutrients to help the person go through the heroin effects of withdrawl. Any drug will burn up more nutrients that the body already so desperately needs. A natural approach to heroin detox would account for the total well being of the heroin addict.

Heroin Withdrawal :

"The most wretched part of coming off hard drugs is the reaction called withdrawal symptoms. These are the physical and mental reactions to no longer taking drugs. They are ghastly. No torturer ever set up anything worse. People go into convulsions. These can be so severe the addict becomes very afraid of them and so remains on drugs."—From the popular book used for heroin and methadone detox Clear Body Clear Mind® by L. Ron Hubbard®.

Focusing on nutritional depletion and helping the body rebalance itself without more drugs is the best therapy during Heroin Withdrawal. Understanding the signs and symptoms of nutritional deficiency and remedying those deficiencies is the best FIRST STEP to long term recovery.

Medical Detox Vs. Holistic Detox:

Medical heroin detox usually involves mild or strong sedatives, medications, and sometimes narcotics. The heroin addict going through detox usually dreads the experience of detox from heroin. This can be a barrier to getting a heroin addict to detox.

Holistic Detox can use nutritional supplements, sleep, special techniques to ease the discomfort of withdrawal, and lots of care. Holistic or natural detox would not include drugs. Holistic detox is not 'cold turkey' or method of not treating a heroin addict during withdrawal. Massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, nutrition, naturopathy, homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and others have been used to help during heroin withdrawal.

Withdrawing from heroin is usually a short 3 to 5 day period of discomfort, if no medications are given during withdrawal. Medications usually lengthen the time taken for the liver and kidneys to remove heroin from the blood system. The evidence for this is that addicts given medication for withdrawal average almost 2 times longer in withdrawal than holistic withdrawal. Narconon detox, a holistic method, uses techniques which withdraw heroin users without pain and significantly reduces discomfort without any drugs at all.

“I have been drug free for
2 ½ years and with no desire or thoughts of ever using drugs again”

“My addiction started early on. I was drinking at an early age and by the time I was 16 years old, I was experimenting with drugs. I married a man that was a heroin addict and in turn, that's what I became.

“My life of crime also started early because I had to maintain my drug habit. I became quite infamous; my first conviction was in 1971 for breaking and entering. A few years later, I was the first person ever arrested under Crime Solvers in the mid-70s. I was in and out of prison five times. Two of those times, I did 6 years...

“My family was upper middle class until I totally depleted their finances through my years of legal fees, bonds, and restitutions.

“I had given up. When I first got here [Narconon], I just knew that this place was going to help me because the technique they use here is real and made total sense. This is one program that I completed successfully...

“I am a respected and mature adult,
with a family who believes in me again...”

“I became aware of my addiction when snorting Oxycontin was not enough anymore, and I began to shoot it. Prior to that, I participated in recreational drug use since the age of 14. I went through the progression that one hears about so often; pot and alcohol, to LSD and ecstasy and cocaine, and ketamine, pharmaceuticals and then heroin.

“The last years of my heroin addiction were the scariest times I could ever imagine anyone going through. I stole, lied, spent most of my day in the pursuit of opiates, and did all the terrible and pointless things that addicts do.

“I decided that I needed to get help that would actually work. I did not want to do another 12 step program that would make me feel like I would never stop using and my life was just an endless cycle of relapses.

“Anyone who's done the Narconon program could tell you of the carefully laid out steps that guide one to an ultimately empowered and aware state where one's life becomes so much clearer.

“...there is really no other program out there that will change a tired and hopeless addict into a productive, happy, and sane individual again.

“I am a respected and mature adult, with a family who believes in me again. I am married to a moral and upstanding man...I am healthy and clear about my future...

“For anyone out there that is struggling with addiction and wants to be free, for anyone who has a loved one or a neighbor or friend that needs a permanent solution, there is a program that will help once and for all.”
