Heroin Drug Rehab

Heroin Drug Rehab Center in Beverly Hills, CA

We understand that heroin addiction is a complex issue requiring personalized care and attention. Our team of experienced professionals utilizes cutting-edge treatment modalities to address both the physical and psychological aspects of heroin addiction.

The Science of Heroin Dependency

Heroin acts on the brain's opioid receptors, triggering a flood of dopamine. This intense pleasure creates a powerful drive to repeat use. With continued exposure, the brain adapts and requires heroin to function normally.


Physical dependence develops as the body becomes accustomed to heroin's presence. Without it, uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms emerge. These can include nausea, muscle aches, and intense cravings.


Tolerance also builds over time. Users need increasing amounts of heroin to achieve the same effects. This escalating use pattern further entrenches the addiction.

Identifying Substance Use Disorder

Key signs of heroin addiction include:


  • Using larger amounts or for longer than intended
  • Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or control use
  • Spending excessive time obtaining, using, or recovering from heroin
  • Strong cravings or urges to use
  • Failing to fulfill major obligations at work, school, or home
  • Continued use despite social or interpersonal problems
  • Giving up important activities because of heroin use
  • Using in physically hazardous situations
  • Persistent use despite physical or psychological problems


We look for at least two of these criteria over a 12-month period to diagnose substance use disorder. Early identification allows for more effective treatment and improved recovery outcomes.
