Renaissance Malibu - Heroin Addiction Treatment Center
Heroin addiction is a dangerous, life-threatening illness that has repercussions far beyond the individual addict. Derived from morphine, heroin is usually injected, sniffed/snorted, or smoked. Heroin abuse can quickly lead to physical tolerance, dependence and heroin addiction.
Heroin addiction is a chronic, relapsing disease, characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, and by neurochemical and molecular changes in the brain. Eventually, the individual suffering from heroin addiction will have one primary purpose in life: to seek and use more heroin. Chronic heroin abuse literally changes the brain and behavior. Heroin detox can be a nightmarish experience without a medically supervised heroin detox program. Acting alone, few individuals achieve lasting heroin addiction recovery.
Heroin addiction can be treated. New and effective behavioral and pharmacological therapies provide hope for individuals who suffer from heroin abuse and heroin addiction, and for those around them. The goal of heroin addiction treatment is for the addict to regain control over drug craving, seeking and abuse. People do recover from heroin addiction. The first step is to recognize and admit there is an abuse problem. The second is to get help at an effective heroin addiction center like Renaissance Malibu, a world-renowned treatment facility situated in the breathtaking mountains of Malibu, California, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Can Heroin Addiction Treatment Work?
The National Institute on Drug Abuse has determined that the best treatment for heroin addiction "are the therapeutic community residential programs lasting 3 to 6 months".
Starting even before arrival at Renaissance Malibu's residential heroin addiction facility, the clinical staff works with the client's family and friends to develop an understanding of significant concerns and issues. Upon arrival, each person receives a series of personal evaluations to assess the client's status in each of the program's four main healing components; Mind, Body, Spirit, and Relationships. After coordination with all clinical and medical team members, the client moves to a luxurious suite, ready to focus on their individually tailored heroin addiction treatment plan.
Heroin Detox - The primary objective of Renaissance Malibu's heroin detox program is to facilitate safe and humane withdrawal by minimizing the severity of symptoms while the patient adjusts to a drug-free state. Symptoms of heroin addiction withdrawal include restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting, cold flashes, and leg movements. Without professional supervision and support, most addicts who attempt heroin detox will relapse. Heroin detox is not in itself a treatment for heroin addiction or abuse. It is a useful step only when it leads into long-term heroin addiction treatment. At Malibu Renaissance protocols are tailored to each individual, taking into account the client's physical and emotional condition, as well as their heroin abuse history, so that one's heroin detox experience is measured, monitored, and as comfortable as possible.
Heroin Addiction Rehabilitation - After effective heroin detox, rehabilitation and a lasting recovery from heroin addiction can be achieved. The world-renowned clinical staff at Renaissance Malibu designs an individualized program for each client from an unprecedented range of both traditional and innovative heroin addiction treatment options, while respecting each client's need for maximum individual attention. Our programs are designed to treat the physical consequences of your heroin addiction; address the destructiveness your addiction may have caused to family, career and friends; identify your inner struggles and distorted beliefs; and provide you with grounding in the spiritual components crucial for life-long recovery from heroin abuse.

Evaluating Heroin Addiction Treatment Centers
Any facility that boasts first-rate heroin addiction treatment programs should be entirely able - and willing -- to supply answers to any and all of your questions. Chronic heroin abuse is a life-threatening illness, so do not be timid in asking, and be sure that you are comfortable with the answers.
First, determine the accreditation of the heroin addiction rehab you are considering. Remarkably, there are many addiction rehabilitation centers that have no accreditation, often because their treatment methods are questionable. Some of the more dubious centers even state that there is a "simple answer" to heroin addiction -- and that a holistic approach to abuse and addiction that deals with emotional, relationship and family issues is not necessary. Be aware that this approach is short-sited, counter-productive, and entirely inaccurate.
If you or a loved one is seeking help for heroin abuse or heroin addiction, you should inquire:
. Is the clinical staff fully licensed - not merely certified?
. Do they specialize in heroin abuse and heroin addiction treatment?
. Can they point to a history of success in heroin addiction treatment?
. Do they have relapse prevention and continuing care programs?
. Does the program offer a continuum of care, where you can transition to lesser or greater levels of care if you need them?
. Does the program offer a wide range of ancillary professionals and activities to further accommodate your specialized needs?
. Is the program structure flexible enough to accommodate personal needs?
. Does the heroin addiction program offer a balance of group and individual activities?
. Does the heroin addiction center offer specialized treatment tracks for your specific needs?
. Does the program take place in an institutional setting or offer a beautiful, serene environment conducive to healing?
