Heroin addiction is one of the most challenging substances to overcome, but recovery is possible. At Anuvia, we understand the grip that heroin can have on your life, and we’re here to help you break free with evidence-based treatment and compassionate support.
Heroin is a powerful opioid that creates intense physical and psychological dependence. What may have started as experimentation or pain relief can quickly spiral into a life-consuming addiction that affects your health, relationships, work, and overall wellbeing.
You or a loved one may be struggling with heroin addiction if you notice:
Recovery from heroin addiction requires more than just willpower, it requires professional support, medical intervention, and a comprehensive substance use treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

How long does heroin addiction treatment take?
Treatment length varies based on individual needs. Some people benefit from several months of intensive treatment, while others continue with ongoing support for a year or more. We’ll work with you to develop a timeline that supports your long-term recovery.
Will I need medication-assisted treatment?
Medication can be an incredibly effective tool for managing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making recovery more comfortable and sustainable. Our medical team will discuss whether medication-assisted treatment is right for you based on your individual situation.
What if I’ve tried treatment before and it didn’t work?
Relapse is often part of the recovery journey, not a sign of failure. Each treatment experience teaches you something valuable. Our comprehensive approach addresses multiple aspects of addiction, and we’ll work with you to identify what you need for successful recovery.
Can I continue working while in treatment?
Yes. Our flexible scheduling and telehealth options are designed to fit treatment around your life commitments. Many people continue working while receiving outpatient treatment at Anuvia.
Do you treat other substance use issues along with heroin?
Absolutely. We treat all substance use disorders and understand that many people struggle with multiple substances. We’ll address all concerns of substance use in your treatment plan.
What if I also have mental health concerns?
That’s exactly why we offer integrated treatment. Many people with substance use disorders also experience depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other mental health conditions. We treat both simultaneously for the best outcomes.
