HOW HEROIN AFFECTS THE BODY
When you contact ARIA, our intake team will conduct a thorough physical and psychological exam to better understand your needs. Please inform us about any medications or other substances you may be taking. We may also ask about your family history and current living situation. Based on this information, our team will create a personalized care plan tailored to your specific needs. Rest assured, we view addiction as a medical condition, not a moral failure, and you will be treated with dignity and respect throughout your stay with us.
Once you are admitted, our medical staff will administer the appropriate medications to gradually eliminate heroin from your system. At the same time, we will monitor and manage withdrawal symptoms to ensure your comfort. You will be provided with plenty of fluids and nutritious meals or snacks as needed. We will also keep an eye out for rare but serious symptoms like seizures or blackouts. Rest assured, our medical team is highly qualified to treat these symptoms and ensure your safety. The detox process may take anywhere from a few days to over a week, depending on your individual needs.
