Heroin Use
As one of the most addictive and dangerous substances ever, heroin continues to destroy the lives of thousands of people in Ohio alone. Amazingly, 1 out of every 4 first-time heroin users will become addicted. Due to the a number of factors such as additives, heroin poses an especially high risk of physical harm. Additives including sugar, starch, and powdered milk can easily clog arteries or veins cause permanent and irreversible damage to a number of different organs (lungs, liver, kidneys, brain).
Heroin hijacks the brain’s reward system and makes it all but inevitable that continued users will become addicted. Each and every day addicted to heroin can challenge even the ability to perform daily functions. As with other opioids, withdrawal can quickly drag users into a vicious cycle that feels inescapable. Many clients describe the story of a how a cheap way to have fun turns into an impossible financial burden necessary to survive.

Suboxone Treatment Phases:
- Induction Phase – treatment begins under the supervision of a licensed and certified addiction physician. Administration of the first dose must take place during a state of moderate withdrawal. As individuals progress through Suboxone therapy, providers will taper and adjust dosing to optimize therapy for each client.
- Maintenance Phase – once proper dosing has been identified, the following phase consists of continuity and support in all aspects necessary for recovery. This phase demands consistency in order to maximize the effectiveness of treatment.
- Tapering – Suboxone therapy during detoxification is an essential part to avoid withdrawal and decrease the body’s need for opioids. As the need lowers, so does the administration of Suboxone. Tapering is similar to “landing the plane” as safely as possible. This takes close communication with our physicians and their medical expertise to maintain benefits of treatment and minimize the likelihood of relapse.
