Addressing heroin addiction requires a multi-faceted approach. Behavioral therapies, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) with methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone, can be effective. Porch Light Health offers comprehensive treatment options to support individuals on their journey to recovery.
It's essential to differentiate between tolerance, dependence, and addiction when using heroin. Tolerance refers to the body's adaptation to the drug, dependence involves physiological reactions, and addiction is a complex behavioral and neurological condition.
At Porch Light Health, we believe in a holistic approach to heroin addiction treatment. We understand that addressing the physical, psychological, and social aspects of addiction is essential for lasting recovery. This includes education on problem drug use, the potential of fentanyl-laced substances, as well as providing treatment
