Heroin addiction creates a euphoric state for the first time user and starts the psychological addiction that will make some people want more and more of the drug to get the same effect. Once you have crossed the psychological addiction and into the physical addiction, the addiction takes a different turn making the addict need and actually, physically crave Heroin. Wisconsin has seen a substantial rise in heroin addiction and getting into heroin rehab can be difficult. More treatment and detox centers for heroin are needed in Wisconsin to help fight the epidemic that the state is facing. 

Finding programs that can handle Heroin addiction in its entirety, can be the difference between success and failure. Detoxing from Heroin can be difficult on your own and having a medically assisted detox in Wisconsin will have a huge impact on a number of addicts in the state. Many people stay addicted to heroin out of need, not want. The problem facing heroin addicts in the state is the fact that if they stop using the drug, the pain of the withdrawal process sets in, creating sleeplessness and sickness that rivals the worst flu without being able to sleep. 


According to the CDC, Heroin abuse has more than doubled in the past 10 years among the 18-25-year-olds in rural areas of Wisconsin. While the new users of Heroin seem to be young adults, it is not uncommon for older adults. With the CDC reporting that 45% of heroin users regularly use opioid medications as well as their heroin, the rise in overdose rates is skyrocketing out of control. With Heroin being a much cheaper alternative to prescription pain medications, the stage is set for an epidemic of epic proportions to engulf the state.

Treating heroin addiction in Wisconsin will involve many steps to make the recovery process effective. For most people, there will be a need for a medical detox to alleviate the symptoms of Heroin withdrawal.

Heroin addiction can sometimes include other drugs so it is very important to make sure that you disclose all of the drugs you are currently using and have taken in the past 6 months. This will help the detox center for heroin addiction, better diagnose and prescribe the best medications to make your detox go smoothly and as pain-free as possible.

Most of the people who have fought with heroin addiction have one thing in common: They recovered from their addiction at an inpatient heroin rehab center. Some people can find sobriety in an outpatient treatment program but due to the temptations and availability to go find heroin, this type of program is less effective in treating the addiction as a whole.  The typical stay for someone recovering from heroin addiction can vary from center to center and usually consists of 30-90 day programs.

Sometimes a medical intervention can be used to help wean a person off of heroin at a slower rate, alleviating the withdrawal symptoms normally associated with a heroin Detox. 

Buprenorphine: Being an opioid, Buprenorphine accesses the same receptors in the brain that heroin interacts with. This allows for a seemingly painless transition while managing cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Methadone: Over the last few decades, this drug has become a bit controversial due to the fact that the body can build up a tolerance quickly if taken too often and is under investigation for being potentially addictive. Methadone is considerably stronger than Buprenorphine but works in the same manner, offering alleviated symptoms from withdrawal.

Naltrexone: Designed to block opioid receptors, blocking the effects that would normally take place once Heroin or an opioid is entered into the system. Also used in treating alcoholism.

Suboxone: Specifically designed to work in combination with Buprenorphine and Naltrexone. This combination of drugs not only manages the addiction, but it also alleviates the temptation to use heroin due to the opioid-blocking drug Naltrexone.
