Can You Quit Heroin Cold Turkey?

Suddenly stopping heroin use is not recommended. It can cause the onset of very severe withdrawal symptoms. Those who try to taper off these types of drugs seldomly succeed. Relapsing during withdrawal is one of the causes of overdose. It is essential to experience withdrawal in a medically assisted heroin detox where it is safe.

Detoxing Off Heroin

What Sets Our Heroin Detox Apart?

Licensed Therapists Dedicated to Providing Detox Support

Detox can often be the most challenging part of recovery. Therefore we have some of our best therapists providing psychological and emotional support throughout this difficult time.

Professional Medical Care In Our New Trailhead Facility

Unlike detoxification in a hospital surrounded by bright lights and white walls, our medical detox environment of care is provided in our brand-new Trailhead facility located on our 11-acre Colorado Springs Campus. It provides a relaxing & comfortable environment and caters to decreased stimuli.

A Smooth & Guided Transition Into Our Inpatient Program

Before leaving our medical detox, our nursing and detox therapists help prepare you for what to expect when transitioning into our residential and inpatient rehab program.

Our Safe & Comfortable Detox is a Crucial Starting Point

We know choosing to detox can feel both fulfilling and daunting. Let us provide you with the care you deserve.

A Personalized Heroin Detox Plan

There is no one-size-fits-all detox plan, even for individuals who have abused the same substances. Within the first stages of our medical detox center in Colorado, we prepare a personalized heroin detox plan influenced by the following:

Physical health
Mental health
The substance(s) consumed
The length of substance use
How often the substance(s) have been used
And more

Stabilization

Our 24/7 staffed detox environment continuously monitors your neurological, physical, and mental status throughout your stay to ensure you have the proper well-being to take the next step in recovery.

Transition

While detoxification is an important step, it is only the first. Our team supports you in the next step of your recovery plan, whether in our inpatient program or somewhere else that appropriately fits your needs.

What Happens After Heroin Detox?

Detoxing from heroin is the first step toward recovery. However, the longer a person distances themselves from their last use, the greater chance of recovery. At Peaks Recovery Centers, the next step in our recovery process is transitioning into our inpatient residential rehab.
