Have you noticed your sibling acting differently, but not quite sure why? They could be secretly struggling with Heroin addiction. All those months of drastic mood swings, low motivation and no longer wanting to do the things that made him happy anymore may suddenly become clear. When your brother is addicted to heroin, you may start thinking he’s not the same person anymore, but that’s not true — he’s just struggling with something he can’t control.
When a person uses heroin it quickly becomes something they need. In order to deal with overwhelming depression or anxiety attacks sometimes it’s easier to use drugs than it is to face your problems head on. What may have started as a one time deal quickly became something that took over and now he can’t control it anymore and you can help him by finding him an addiction treatment rehab program that’s right for him.
Seeking a Residential Addiction Treatment Facility
There’s many types of addiction treatment including detox, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient treatment. When people say the word, “rehab,” they’re typically talking about residential treatment, but your loved one may need more than that. If your brother is struggling with an opioid addiction it’s necessary to find a treatment facility that offers detox and residential services. At Transformations Care, our clinicians will monitor your brother as he goes through the worst part of drug use — the come down. It’s a necessary step in the road to getting clean and sober unfortunately there’s no work around, but we’ll be with him every step of the way. After detox, we’ll transition your brother into our residential addiction treatment program and outpatient programs.
If he’s worried about losing his job which has probably already suffered because of his drug use then you can assure him that this shouldn’t count against him. Since addiction is classified as a disease, checking into a rehab center can only work for him, not against him. They will also be able to notify employers that he is staying there for a period of time and will need to be out for a while. And if you can’t get him into a rehab program where there is in-patient you should consider doing telehealth. That is one way that he could potentially still get to work while working on himself at home. Though for opioid use it’s much harder to detox alone.
