UNDERSTANDING HEROIN ADDICTION
What is heroin addiction?
Heroin is a highly addictive drug with many people finding themselves with an addiction very quickly after using it for the first time. This is due to its rapid impact on the brain, it binds to opioid receptors but the pleasurable effects come at a big cost of dependence from the impact of the withdrawal symptoms and the destructive impact it has on people’s lives.
Recognising when to seek help for heroin addiction
Our drug rehab programme has helped over 10,000 people find better mechanisms and techniques to handle difficulties and challenges, allowing them to enter life after rehab with a new outlook and enjoy a long-term recovery. If you suffer from a substance use disorder, our drug rehabilitation programmes will help you too.
It’s important to be aware of the signs that may indicate you’re struggling with heroin addiction and could benefit from seeking help.
Some of the key symptoms of heroin addiction include:
- Constricted Pupils: Heroin use leads to pinpoint pupils that do not respond to changes in light. This is a tell-tale sign of opioid intoxication.
- Poor Hygiene and Physical Appearance: Users often neglect personal grooming and hygiene. They may appear unkempt, with greasy hair, dirty clothing, and body odor.
- Significant Weight Loss: Heroin suppresses appetite, and over time, users may experience drastic weight loss due to poor nutrition.
- Neglect of Responsibilities: Addicts may start to neglect work, school, or family duties. They may show a sudden decline in performance or interest in activities they once enjoyed.
- Financial Problems and Stealing: Due to the high cost of heroin, addicts may experience financial strain, leading to borrowing money, selling possessions, or engaging in theft to fund their habit.
- Anxiety and Paranoia: Chronic use and withdrawal can lead to heightened anxiety levels. Some may become paranoid, particularly if they fear legal consequences or being discovered.
- Restlessness and Insomnia: In the absence of heroin, the body reacts with restlessness and an inability to sleep. Users may pace, fidget, or display nervous energy.
- Changes in Relationships: Addicts may experience strained relationships with family and friends due to their drug use. They may associate with a new group of friends who are also using drugs.
“When you leave the treatment centre, that’s when I became a person because I didn’t know what that was … Because there was so much inside me to come out and that’s the time I got it out.
Ten pounds now can last a week, whereas, before 200, 300 didn’t last me a day. So it makes me happy because I’ve got everything back. ”

Why rehab for heroin abuse is important
Heroin addiction, or dependence, describes the problematic relationship between the individual and different illicit or prescribed drugs. It is a dangerous and progressive illness that will not go away without treatment.
Our drug treatment programmes are designed to treat individuals holistically, both physically and emotionally.
The aim of rehab for drug addiction is to provide you with the necessary tools to help you recover from the destructive behaviours associated with drug use disorders.
Some of the key issues of heroin addiction include:
- Risk of Fatality: Heroin addiction significantly increases the risk of premature death, either through overdose, accidents, or health complications resulting from long-term use.
- Public Health Crisis: Heroin addiction is part of a broader opioid crisis that affects communities nationwide. The spread of infectious diseases, increased healthcare costs, and the burden on social services represent significant public health challenges.
- Healthcare Costs: Heroin addiction places a significant financial burden on the healthcare system due to the high costs associated with emergency medical services, hospitalizations for overdoses, treatment of infections, and long-term rehabilitation services.
- Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS): Pregnant women who use heroin risk passing the drug to their unborn children, leading to NAS. Babies born with NAS experience withdrawal symptoms after birth, including tremors, irritability, poor feeding, and seizures.
- Infectious Diseases: Sharing needles and other drug paraphernalia increases the risk of contracting bloodborne infections like HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Users are also at risk of bacterial infections, including endocarditis, an infection of the heart lining and valves.

Benefits of private residential heroin addiction treatment
Private residential heroin addiction treatment offers a comprehensive and personalized approach to recovery.
It provides a safe, structured environment with 24/7 medical supervision, ensuring a comfortable and secure detox process. Patients receive tailored treatment plans, participation in the 12 step programme including individual and group therapy, medication-assisted treatment, and holistic therapies such as yoga and mindfulness.
With access to a multidisciplinary team of experts, including doctors, therapists, and nutritionists, individuals can address the root causes of their addiction and any co-occurring mental health disorders. The focus on privacy and confidentiality allows patients to concentrate on their recovery without fear of stigma.
Risks of self-treating heroin abuse
- Self-treatment can lead to intense withdrawal symptoms like severe cravings, agitation, vomiting, and seizures, which can be life-threatening without medical supervision.
- The discomfort of unmanaged withdrawal often leads to relapse, increasing the risk of overdose due to lowered tolerance after a period of abstinence.
- Self-treatment typically fails to address the psychological aspects of addiction, such as underlying mental health issues and emotional trauma, which are crucial for long-term recovery.
- Without the structured and supportive environment provided by professional treatment, individuals are more likely to encounter triggers that lead back to substance use.
What are the goals from heroin rehab treatment
Overcoming an addiction to heroin involves more than simply quitting. Maintaining sobriety requires significant lifestyle changes and commitments.
The main goals of treatment include:
- Safely detoxifying the body from heroin and preventing relapse through medication-assisted treatment, therapy, and support.
- Identifying and treating the psychological, emotional, and behavioral factors that contribute to addiction, including co-occurring mental health disorders.
- Equipping individuals with strategies and skills to manage stress, triggers, and cravings without turning to substance use.
- Helping individuals rebuild their lives through improved relationships, stable employment, and a supportive social network.
- Encouraging individuals to take responsibility for their actions, rebuild trust with loved ones, and regain a sense of self-worth.
- Seeing the value in human connection by sharing difficult feelings
- Having fun, because life is more enjoyable without drugs

I’ve been a client at Providence for over six months, experiencing a full spectrum of emotions, but the prevailing feeling has been a profound sense of connection and belonging. The atmosphere is one of love, unity, and genuine friendship. Regardless of which counselor you’re assigned to, all the staff are approachable and offer invaluable advice. Their unwavering knowledge and caring nature have genuinely saved my life. The entire Providence team, including clerical and support staff, has given me the strength and enthusiasm to apply what I’ve learned. As I leave, I’ll carry Providence in my heart and prayers forever. Thank you.

Providence has saved my life. When I arrived, I was physically, mentally, and emotionally drained; without this rehab, I’d be dead. They helped me rebuild my confidence and discover my true self. The counselors, especially Dougie, were incredibly understanding and crucial to my progress. After 12 weeks and now in aftercare, I finally know what I want for the first time in 24 years and am confident I’ll achieve my dreams. I highly recommend Providence to anyone seeking to overcome addiction. Even in aftercare, I miss Provi already and am deeply grateful. Thank you.

I can’t thank The Providence Project and its amazing team enough. What was supposed to be a four-week stay turned into six months because it was life-changing. As a single mother, leaving my daughter was hard, but it was worth it. The program helped me overcome my addiction to sleeping tablets and taught me valuable life skills, making me a better mother and person. This place gave me my life back and my daughter “a better mummy.” To any mother worried about treatment due to separation, it’s worth it—the benefits are priceless. Going to The Providence Project was the best decision I’ve made, and I’m forever grateful. Sarah x

I arrived at the Provy lost and broken after years of addiction and failed treatments, but something felt different here. From reception to support staff, everyone made me feel loved until I could love myself. For the first time, I received the help, knowledge, and tools I needed for lasting recovery. The unique approach, the supportive groups, and the house where I lived were crucial to my healing. Near death at the end of my addiction, I owe my life to Providence and my counselor, Clinton. Nearly two years clean and sober, I’m proud to be part of the Provy family, where the door is always open and the support is unwavering.

Providence has changed my life completely. From living a life with no hope, this place has taught my how to live again. The group therapy and 1-1 counselling really helped me to discover who I am and what I want from life, free from drugs and alcohol. The staff are excellent and I know I wouldn’t be where I am now without them. I’d recommend Providence to anyone who needs help. Give it a go and you won’t regret it.
THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES
Cognitive behavioural therapy for heroin addiction
CBT is just one of the therapeutic approaches we use to help people overcome their drug addiction.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured psychotherapy method that aims to address the underlying thoughts, deep-rooted pain and behaviours that contribute to an individual’s addiction. By changing negative thought patterns and impulses, individuals can improve their emotional well-being and make healthier choices that contribute to a sober and fulfilled life.
It is used in our heroin addiction rehab process to:
Identify triggers that lead to drug use.
Recognise and challenge negative and irrational thoughts.
Develop practical tools to cope with urges to use drugs.
Improve problem-solving skills.

Can I get heroin rehab treatment on the NHS?
Yes, heroin rehab treatment is available on the NHS in the UK. The NHS provides free services for individuals seeking help with heroin addiction, including access to general practitioners (GPs), drug and alcohol services, and mental health support. Patients can start by visiting their GP, who can refer them to local drug treatment services. These services typically offer a range of treatments, including counseling, medication-assisted treatment (such as methadone or buprenorphine), and support groups.
While NHS treatment is accessible and free, it’s important to note that there may be waiting lists for some services, particularly for residential rehab programs. Additionally, the range of services and availability can vary depending on the location. For those seeking immediate or more specialized care, private rehab facilities are an alternative, though they come with associated costs.

Frequently asked questions
Welcome to the FAQs section of The Provy! Here, you’ll find answers to the most common questions about our rehab facilities, services, and the recovery process.
How long do I need to attend rehab for heroin abuse?
How do I pay for private heroin addiction treatment?
Paying for your treatment is easy and straight forward. On the day of admission, we will call you to take payment over the phone. To learn more about our costs and payment options, visit our cost page here.
How can I help if someone is addicted to heroin?
So many families are faced with the nightmare that their loved one is developing a drug addiction. Families are often faced with lies, deceit and denial and simply do not know how to react. This can be frustrating, but showing signs of kindness, compassion and understanding will help the addict to feel more comfortable around you. But make sure you set firm, consistent boundaries with them.
What do I do if someone refuses help?
I cannot afford rehab for heroin addiction, what are my options?
We understand private residential drug treatment may not be an option for some individuals. Although difficult, it is possible to secure funding through your local council, although this process is lengthy and does not guarantee a placement.
Alternatively, you can contact reputable charities or NHS services, but please note that these services are provided on an outpatient basis, and may not be suitable for individuals with severe or long-term drug addiction issues.
