What to Do When You Need to Find a Heroin Detox Center
At least a million Americans use heroin, and the problem is getting worse. Many opiate addicts have turned to heroin as stricter laws make prescription drugs harder to obtain. At the same time, the recent popularity of fentanyl additives (extremely potent synthetic opioids) has greatly increased the risks of using unregulated drugs. Between 2010 and 2016, fatal heroin overdoses climbed, steadily but rapidly, from under 5,000 a year to nearly 15,500. If you or a loved one have the heroin addiction, the time to seek professional detox treatment is right away: every new dose risks your life and damages your overall health. And trying to detox privately will, at best, make you extremely ill for a week and leave other addiction-related issues undealt with. At worst, self-detox could kill you with a seizure, impaired breathing or impulsive suicide.
