Heroin Addiction Treatment
Heroin Addiction Help Across The UK
Heroin is an opioid drug. It’s made from morphine which is a natural substance found in the seed pod of opium poppy plants usually grown in Southeast and Southwest Asia as well as Mexico and Colombia.
Heroin in appearance can be either white or brown powder. It can also come in the form of a black sticky substance that’s referred to as black tar.
What Is Heroin Addiction?
Many begin using heroin for the initial sense of wellbeing and pleasure however, these supposedly appealing effects are actually far from reality. Use of heroin results in extremely toxic short and long term risks to not only your physical but mental wellbeing.
How Is Heroin Taken?
- Heroin is usually used via injection.
- It can also be sniffed, snorted or smoked.
- Some will even mix their heroine with crack cocaine.
Due to the highly addictive nature of heroin however, it doesn’t take long for an addiction to start and the need for help to treat heroin addiction.

Heroin Addiction Treatment At Infinity Addictions
A heroin addiction will take hold of different people in different ways however, the one thing they will all have in common is the hugely negative impact any effect of heroin will undoubtedly have.
Just as each addiction is individual, so too is the addict themselves and therefore, so must the treatment be. Here at Infinity Addiction Solution, it’s our aim to help you through recovery in all aspects of your life; mentally, physically, emotionally and even socially.
What’s incredibly important, however, is for the patient in question to recognise the need for help and the need for recovery too.
We aim to treat the person individually which is why our addiction treatment options are so varied. After an initial thorough assessment, we’ll be able to determine the best course of action to help you or a loved one get on the road to a long and healthy recovery.

Heroin Detox & Rehab
Here at Infinity Addiction Solutions, we provide specialist heroin rehab treatment, in both a residential and outpatient format. Our heroin rehab programs tackle both the addiction itself as well as the more deeper rooted causes of the addiction.
Our treatment plans always begin with a medically supervised detox. Due to the often severe withdrawal symptoms that last for around 2 weeks, we ensure your detox is supervised by medically trained doctors who can assist in the best way possible, while allowing you to fully detox from this highly addictive drug.
Once your detox has been carried out and we’ve deemed you ready, we’ll then look at pursuing the necessary follow up treatment. Once again, this can be accessed in a residential and outpatient manner.
We understand that while the NHS may have detox facilities, these can often require very long wait times to access. Here at Infinity Addiction Solutions however, we can ensure you get the help you need, when you need it most.
What’s more, we’ll also ensure you’re given the tools and resources you need to prevent the chances of relapse as much as possible and we do this through continued aftercare – something which isn’t always available via the NHS due to lack of funding and time.
