• Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Often, when clients arrive, they are suffering from an underlying mental health issue causing their substance use disorder. This may be depression, anxiety disorder, or PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). Many times, they are not even aware they have an issue. However, for recovery to be meaningful, both conditions need to be treated simultaneously. This is what dual diagnosis treatment addresses.
• Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): This treatment program allows clients to receive the therapy they need but centered around their schedule. While they fulfill their work, school, or family commitments, they also receive the same high-quality treatment as in other programs but in a concentrated format.
• Family Therapy Program: Sometimes, issues of addiction require working with and resolving issues with family members. The scope of family therapy is broad. It can involve spouses working with each other, adult children and their parents, parents to their young children, and issues among siblings.

Also, the heroin rehab center professionals may decide medication is the best form of treatment. Several medications treat heroin addiction, including:

• Methadone: This relieves withdrawal symptoms and serves as a long-term maintenance medication.
• Buprenorphine: Intended to shorten detox, it is frequently combined with other medications to reduce or avoid dependency.
• Clonidine: Helps clients manage the physical symptoms of heroin withdrawal.
• Naltrexone: A relapse prevention medication helping individuals break their physical addiction.
