How to quit heroin in a drug rehab treatment center:
|
|
If you were not able to quit heroin cold turkey, warm turkey, or with methadone or Suboxone for whatever the reasons may be, then you may want to consider Plan D: Quitting heroin in a rehab treatment center.
If you have the funds or health care insurance, then admitting yourself into a drug rehabilitation center may be the best way for you to go if you simply can’t stop using heroin while living on the outside. However, if you have children, a baby, a pregnant girlfriend, house payments, car payments, a business, a career or other major responsibilities then things can become a little more complicated. |
You may be willing to lose the house, the car and even the job but you can’t just leave a baby, your children or a pregnant girlfriend behind. You will have to make some form of arrangement without abandoning your responsibilities or call in the family for help. But if the circumstances are right, and you have the means of covering the costs for treatment, then a good, long stay in a drug rehabilitation center just might help you accomplish ‘The Impossible Dream’, and that is to quit heroin, stay clean, and turn your life around.
In rehab, you’re safe. You’re far away from the dope spot, the dope-man and all of your dope friends as well. Relocation, isolation and inaccessibility to opiates can help make your physical and mental battles much easier to cope with.
More than 2 million people in the U.S. alone are addicted to heroin. And only 1% of heroin addicts manage to quit heroin, stay clean, and turn their lives around. But believe it or not, you can be a part of that 1%. Yet due to the high costs associated with professional treatment, only a small fraction of these people are able to obtain the help they need. That’s unfortunate, seeing that long term and professional drug treatment programs often have high success rates.
The right program, in the right place, surrounded by the right kind of staff, can really make a difference in the recovery of these individuals. But once again, money and policy changes everything. If you have no money and no health insurance then you’re basically on your own. And Plan A becomes your best solution – Quitting Heroin Cold Turkey.
However, if you’re here in the U.S., then you find a free to low cost, state run or state subsidized, detox and rehab by calling the Substance Abuse Agency at 1-800-662-4357. Call them and tell them what city, state and county you live in and they’ll recommend a free to low cost drug treatment program for you to go to right away. (You may even qualify for free (state funded) treatment as well).
(NOTE: You can also quit heroin in a short term, medical detox center as well. Many state run detox centers are now using short term suboxone programs to help you detox from the heroin within a matter of 5 to 10 days. To find a free to low-cost, state run detox center in the US, call 1-800-662-4357, and they’ll tell you exactly what to do and where to go).

There’re also many long term, church ran rehabilitation centers which will accept you for free, as long as you can read, right and work.
The reason being is that most church ran rehabilitation programs are actually work programs where they help you but put you to work as well to pay for room and board. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Work is good. |
|
While you’re there, you may even learn some good solid principles, become a hard worker, and learn how to get along with others in a civilized manner. It might be a good place to go, even if it’s just to get away from all the drugs and give you enough time to get yourself together. To find such a program all you have to do is start visiting your local churches in your area, find the people in charge and ask them to direct you in the right direction.
The cost to admit yourself into a professional drug treatment center can range anywhere from $3,000, $10,000 to $40,000 or more. If you have insurance, then check with your health insurance provider to see what your options are and what they have to offer. They may have a list of their top picks for drug rehabilitation centers. And they may cover all or most of the costs. Then once you know you’re covered or have the funds to pay for your stay then do it. Go to rehab.
Start searching for a drug rehabilitation center and then proceed to make the necessary arrangements to go there.
If your insurance company has a list of recommended treatment centers then visit their websites to learn more about their facilities and see pictures of the place as well. Or, you can begin to perform a good search online for drug rehabilitation centers, drug treatment centers, detox centers etc.

Enter a search for “drug rehabilitation centers + state” into the Google search box and then see what comes up.
Start clicking on these places and see what they have to offer and then start calling them up asking questions. Look and/or ask for pictures of the facilities. You’ll want to know what the place looks like inside and out before you even go there. You’re looking for pictures of clean and decent bed rooms, cafeterias, recreational facilities, lobbies, meeting rooms, gyms, pools, basketball courts, running tracks, huge back yards, paths, scenic views etc… |
You’re going to be living there for as long as you can. The more decent and clean the facilities are, then the more comfortable you’ll feel while staying there. Ask them to send you pamphlets and brochures. Try to speak to the counselors who will be working with you beforehand in order to get a better feel for them. You can even ask them to send you a picture of them to your email address. As you’ll soon find out, your relationship with your dedicated counselor will have a great effect upon your stay and recovery.
And if you’re not on probation, then you may even want to consider going to rehab out of state, cross country, or even down south to sunny Florida, Texas or Arizona. If at all possible, try to get as far as you can. Going far, far away will help eliminate the temptation of giving up, packing up and going back home which happens more often than not.
Then once you know exactly where you’re going to go, get up, pack up your stuff, buy a one way plane or bus ticket and go. Take some specialty books of interest with you. You’ll have plenty of time to read. Bring books and magazines on health, finance, careers, business, self-help, personal development and anything else that can begin to help you to prepare for your immediate future.
You won’t be going into rehab just to get off of heroin. You’re going there to re-train, re-educate and re-create yourself all over again from scratch. The drug rehabilitation center will be your safe haven - a place to get away from all the bad things in your life. It will also become your training grounds to learn how to live the rest of your life as a drug free, honest individual.
While you’re there, you’re going to make a new man, or a new woman out of yourself. And it takes time and effort to change who you are into what you need to be. So plan on staying there for as long as you can. A 3 to 6 months stay in a professional treatment center can work wonders. Once you get there, make yourself at home. Don’t be cold or mean to the staff. Instead, be kind and respectful to everyone around you. And be extra kind to the lady who hands out the meds. She’ll be your new best friend during the detox stage.
They’re all there to help and assist you in any way that they can. So it won’t do you any good to put up a wall against those who are there to help change your life. Submit yourself to their authority and they will treat you with kindness and respect. When you have to go through the detox phase then most likely they’ll give you your own room, or divided room for the first 3-4 days. During those first few days, no one will bother you, other than to give you your medication, pain killers, Suboxone etc.
Then they’ll either introduce you to your counselor or have you start attending group meetings. Be kind and cooperative with your counselor and everyone else involved. And since you’re paying for it, make sure to get everything off your chest. Let it all out so that he or she can begin to help you find solutions to each and every one of your problems.
When it comes to introducing yourself and participating in group meetings, things can become a little awkward and unpleasant, unless of course, you’re already a social type person and enjoy talking to others. However, most heroin users are not the social type so it’s like being forced to be around people who you simply don’t want to be with. But hopefully, little by little, you can begin to overcome that common, anti-social feeling in order to get help and get to know your fellow patients. Little by little, you’ll start to feel more comfortable in these types of settings. You’re all there for the same purpose, and that is, to quit drugs and turn your lives around.

Make the best of your time while you're in rehab:
After you’re feeling better physically and emotionally and you’ve become used to your daily routine, then you might want to ask the head of staff to allow you to use the gym first thing in the morning.
Exercising 3 to 5 days per week, first thing in the morning can help you to become healthier, physically, mentally, and emotionally as well. This will also help you to live a better life within the treatment center for the long term. You’ll begin to feel much better as the days go by when you exercise 3 to 5 days per week.

While you’re there, try to help your fellow man (or woman), by encouraging them every day. Just by being positive you can help make a difference in their life. Even if you just send them a thumbs up or a few good smiles through out the day, your positive energy can begin to have a great effect upon their lives and your life as well. Don’t be cold to anyone. Be kind and courteous to everyone there. Before you can become a positive influence to anyone else then you’ll need to try your best to become positive as well. You’re there to fix your own life but if you can manage to become a positive influence upon someone else’s life then everybody wins. And in time, it will all come back to you.

When you’re not involved in group meetings, activities, counseling, and daily routines then take some time to read your books on health, self help, business and careers. Re-educate yourself daily. And for some of you, you can use this time to also think about all the wrong you’ve done to your friends and family and how you’re going to do your best to make things right in order to make amends. This is called restitution, and it must be paid in one form or another.
Use this time to create, design and plan your future. Write down your goals and dreams in a notebook. Include as much detail as you can. Then create and write a step-by-step plan on how to achieve those goals as quickly as possible.
You can start changing your life in rehab even before you go back out into the real world. And when you get out of rehab, then you can blast off and execute your plan with full force.
You can also use this time to write about yourself, what your life was like as a heroin addict and how you’ve come to the place to where you are now. Then once you’ve been clean and have remained clean for some time, then you can publish your writings on the internet to help inspire and motivate other addicts to quit heroin and turn their lives around, just as you did.
Make the most of your time while you’re in rehab. Use this time to renew and transform your mind and your manner of thinking as well. Work on your attitude, your personality, and everything else that you don’t like about yourself. And in time, you will change. If you really want it, then you can do it.
If you put these words into action then you should do well in rehab and even more so in the real world as well. Just remember to take it one day at a time. Each day without heroin is a great accomplishment so be sure to give yourself credit for that, and to be thankful as well. So if you’re able to go to rehab then do it. Quit this drug and turn your life around.
You can do anything you put your mind to. All you have to do now is just do it. Find a rehab and go. Change your life, once and for all. Good luck. And may the good force be with you.
