  Addiction Treatment?
• Do you or a loved one suffers from heroin
  addiction? If yes, perhaps it about time you get
  treated at the Drug Treatment Center California.
  Why? Heroin addiction is a deadly type of
  addiction that if not treated could lead to
  long-term side effects like mental deterioration,
  health problems and other extreme side effects.
  Below is a quick overview on heroin addiction
  treatment.
• Detoxification Process
• The first line of treatment for Heroin addiction
  is detoxification because this medical procedure
  aims to remove the dependency of the addict to
  this type of drug and eliminate all the harmful
  toxins left inside the system. During the
  detoxification, the patient will be given
  medications, therapy session and other treatments
  to reduce or at least control the withdrawal
  symptoms. After the patient successfully
  recovered from the detox, he or she is required
  to undergo a series of counseling and therapies
  like cognitive behavioral therapy to ensure full
  recovery.

• Medication Replacement Treatment
• Overcoming Heroin Addiction can be a struggle on
  the part of the user and certain medication
  replacement treatment programs are given and may
  include
• Prescription of methadone and suboxone are given
  to patients with heroin addiction as part of the
  replacement therapy. These medicines may cause
  sedation, but will still allow the patient resume
  to his or her daily activities.
• Administration of these replacement medicines are
  done under the supervision of a doctor to assure
  no misuse or overdosing happens.
• Other pharmacological medications are given to
  treat addiction such as Buprenorphine and
  Naltrexone. Buprenorphine is widely prescribed
  because this medicine is less prone to being
  addictive and may not cause euphoria or feeling
  high. This medicine is proven to minimize the
  addicts physical dependency on heroin.
  Naltrexone is another medicine prescribed to
  people with heroin addiction and has the
  component of blocking the effects of heroin and
  opiates. This medicine helps the addict to stay
  away from this drug because they know that taking
  heroin with not produce the high effect or having
  fun.
