The Opioid Crisis Fuels the Need for Heroin Treatment
Recently, in an infamous statistic, drug overdoses overtook car crashes to become the most common cause of accidental and thus avoidable death in the United States. Indeed, more people die from opioid overdoses than ever before. Thus, the grave necessity for expanding heroin treatment options. Although the overdose crisis is fueled by fentanyl, synthetic opioids, and prescription painkillers, heroin remains a huge part of the problem. Thus, by underlying heroin treatment, we refer to the most well-known opioid threat in a dark pantheon.
According to Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Amy L. Solomon of The Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs (OJP), “The substance use crisis in American society has been a persistent and deadly problem for decades, and illicitly manufactured fentanyl and synthetic opioids have tightened the grip drugs have on our society. The Biden-Harris Administration is working diligently to address these problems by committing unprecedented levels of funding toward research, substance use treatment and mental health services, along with investments in enforcement, response and evidence-based treatment.”
Given the dangers, Tarzana Treatment Centers is proud to offer evidence-based heroin treatment options. With half a century of experience treating substance use disorders in California, TTC is ready and willing. Our clinical staff knows the challenges of heroin treatment. By offering addicts a door to recovery, we save lives daily.
Evidence-Based Options = Successful Heroin Treatment
In both our residential and outpatient programs, as well as our inpatient detox program, TTC is a forerunner in offering Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT). Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the heroin treatment medications used in MAT services are reliable and safe when properly administered. Moreover, the MAT program is designed to meet each patient’s needs. The goal of MAT services is to open the door to long-term recovery. As an evidence-based heroin treatment option, MAT services are a key part of overcoming the national opioid crisis.
Our Clinical Team knows that Suboxone, Sublocade, Vivitrol, Buprenorphine, Methadone, and Naltrexone are safe and effective treatments. Moreover, the Methadone maintenance programs at TTC clinics bolster heroin treatment, helping patients avoid the dangers of relapse.
These MAT services include:
- Inpatient Medical Detox
- Outpatient Ambulatory Detoxification
- Opiate Treatment Program (OTP)
- Methadone Clinics located in Tarzana and Palmdale
- Outpatient MAT programs combined with SUD behavioral care
- Primary Care based MAT services
MAT Treatment Program at TTC = Inpatient + Outpatient
MAT Treatment is available at all levels of heroin treatment care for substance use disorders. The MAT process includes assessment, medication management, individual and group counseling, urinary analysis, case management, and physician visits. As part of MAT services, TTC can administer all FDA-approved medication including Methadone and Buprenorphine when medically necessary.
Indeed, TTC is a pioneer in the use of Vivitrol. As an injectable form of Naltrexone for heroin treatment as well as the treatment of other opiates and alcohol, Vivitrol is a true innovation. Moreover, TTC is considered an expert in the recovery drug’s application. In this MAT services program, patients receive a single monthly injection to minimize cravings. Thus, Vivitrol helps to cancel the reward or “high” associated with the use of opiates or alcohol.
Patients receiving MAT Services for heroin treatment and beyond often take part in outpatient SUD services. What we hope to achieve is a comprehensive recovery program. We want patients to have easy access to whatever mental health and/or primary medical care services they need.
