Heroin treatment programs at MBH.
Medical Detox
Physician-supervised heroin detox with evidence-based comfort medications — safely managing the acute withdrawal phase before transitioning to active treatment.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
Buprenorphine and naltrexone significantly reduce cravings, prevent relapse, and dramatically lower overdose mortality risk during and after treatment.
Partial Hospitalization (PHP)
5–7 days per week of structured, intensive programming for clients who need frequent clinical contact and a high degree of daily structure.
Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
9–15 hours per week — the balance of clinical intensity and real-world responsibility that sustains most people in longer-term recovery.
How we treat heroin addiction.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
The evidence is clear — MAT with buprenorphine or naltrexone reduces overdose mortality by up to 50%. We provide and manage MAT as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Restructures the thought patterns, beliefs about drug use, and emotional triggers that drive heroin-seeking behavior.
Group Counseling
Peer-based recovery is foundational to opioid treatment — building community, reducing shame, and holding each person accountable.
Trauma-Informed Care
Unresolved trauma is a primary driver of opioid use disorder. We address underlying trauma alongside addiction as part of integrated treatment.
Family Therapy
Heroin addiction devastates families. We engage loved ones in the recovery process — providing education, rebuilding trust, and healing relational damage.
Aftercare & Relapse Prevention
Discharge planning, ongoing MAT management, and community resource connections ensure support continues long after formal treatment ends.
Heroin treatment is covered.
Opioid use disorder treatment is a federally required covered benefit. We accept Aetna, Anthem, BCBS, Cigna, Beacon Health, Carelon, GEHA, and Cox Health. We verify your benefits before admission — at no cost to you.
Frequently asked questions
Heroin withdrawal typically begins 6–12 hours after the last dose and peaks at 36–48 hours. Symptoms include severe muscle aches, abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, anxiety, and intense cravings. While rarely life-threatening for otherwise healthy adults, it is extremely uncomfortable and medically managed detox dramatically improves both safety and treatment retention.
