Signs of Heroin Addiction in Men

Heroin addiction is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that can significantly impact a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Some heroin users are able to maintain a seemingly normal outward appearance for some time, but eventually, signs of their addiction will begin to manifest.

Some common signs of heroin addiction in men include:

• Physical changes: Drug use can lead to changes in the body, such as weight loss, shifts in skin color and appearance, and injection marks on the arms or other body parts.
• Behavioral changes: Men struggling with heroin addiction may exhibit changes in their behavior, such as a lack of interest in previously enjoyable activities, a shift in priorities, and financial decline.
• Psychological symptoms: Substance abuse can lead to psychological symptoms such as changes in mood, increased anxiety and depression, and impaired cognitive function.
• Relationship problems: Heroin addiction can strain relationships with friends and family, leading to isolation and abandonment of loved ones.

If you or a loved one are struggling with substance use, it’s time to seek professional help at the Last Resort Recovery. Our team is standing by to answer any questions and get treatment started immediately.

The Risks of Men’s Heroin Use

Most men who experiment with heroin become addicted. The use of this substance can pose a plethora of risks to men’s health, both physically and mentally. One of the most grave risks associated with drug abuse is the likelihood of overdose, which can be lethal and even deadly. 

Other physical risks associated with heroin use include:

• Damage to the respiratory system and an increased probability of lung infections
• Cardiovascular issues, including elevated blood pressure and heart rate
• An increased chance of HIV and hepatitis transmission due to shared needles

Furthermore, men who use this powerful opiate may also suffer an increased risk of psychological problems, including:

• Depression and anxiety
• Cognitive impairment and difficulty with decision-making
• Hallucinations and delusions
• Psychosis

These risks can significantly affect a man’s quality of life and overall well-being. It is imperative for men struggling with an opioid or heroin addiction to seek help as soon as possible from a qualified addiction treatment center such as The Last Resort Recovery.

Benefits of a Men’s Only Heroin Rehab Program

Seeking treatment for an addiction to heroin can be a challenging and intimidating process, particularly for men who may feel overwhelmed by societal expectations to be strong and in control. A men’s only heroin rehab program provides a safe and supportive environment for men to address their addiction and work towards recovery.

One significant benefit of a men’s only program is the opportunity to connect with other men who are also struggling with addiction. This can provide a sense of camaraderie and understanding and a safe space to openly discuss the challenges and struggles of recovery.

In addition, our men’s only heroin addiction program offers specialized therapies and treatment approaches that are tailored specifically to the unique needs and experiences of men. This includes group therapy sessions, individual counseling, and experiential activities such as our equine-assisted therapy and our Healing Heart Experience.

What To Expect in Our Men’s Heroin Addiction Treatment Program

Our team of highly qualified professionals is devoted to assisting men in securing lasting recovery from heroin addiction through a variety of treatment programs and therapies. These include medical detoxification, inpatient/residential treatment, outpatient programs, and post-treatment planning. 

We take a comprehensive approach to treatment, focusing on the mental and emotional well-being of our clients to provide them with the necessary tools for permanent sobriety.

Most, but not all, men will start with a medical detox program – the length of which will be based on the severity of addiction, substances abused, and overall health. During detoxification, we offer medical support and medication management to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make a smooth and comfortable transition more likely. 

Once detoxification is successfully completed, men will take part in the residential program at our 55-acre Central Texas campus. During this intensive treatment program, our mental health therapists work with residents through group and individual therapy to uncover the underlying causes of their addiction and cultivate coping skills to prevent relapse in the future.
