Heroin Rehabilitation
Withdrawal symptoms from heroin may start from 6 to 24 hours after discontinuation of the drug. Symptoms can include sweating, malaise, feelings of heaviness, cramps, insomnia, cold sweats, chills, muscle and bone ache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. Many users experience “itchy blood” which often results in compulsive scratching that causes bruises and scabs.
A drug rehabilitation center can help to ease the discomfort and to challenge patients to come clean. This is never a simple process, and rehabilitation is a lifetime endeavor. Relapse is always possible, so constant monitoring and encouragement by friends and family is needed. Patients must be able to remove themselves from the drug culture.
Rehabilitation in a drug rehab center aims to end the psychological, legal, financial, and physical consequences of heroin use. Drug rehabilitation is often required by the legal system.
For uninsured patients, drug rehab can be quite expensive. But options are available including inexpensive programs in Cuba. There are Canadian programs that can arrange a stay at a Cuban drug rehabilitation center.
