Extended Care Programs for Heroin Addicts

How Can I Stay Sober After Rehab?

If you suffer from heroin addiction, you may have tried to get clean and sober more than once.  You’ve been to the Narcotics Anonymous meetings, and they worked for a while—until you started shooting junk again.  Maybe you’ve even been to rehab.  Lots of heroin addicts go to rehab more than once.  But addictions have a lot to do with context.  It’s easy to feel resolved to stay off heroin when you’ve been at the rehab center for ten days—but it’s a lot harder to hold onto that feeling when you’re back home, sitting on the same couch where you used to shoot up.  Talking to your friends who still use heroin.  Seeing your heroin dealer on the street.  When you go right back into your old life, it’s so difficult not to slip back into your heroin addiction. So how do you beat the odds and stay off heroin?  The best way is to get into a rehab program that helps you break free of your old life and gives you the space to build a new life that doesn’t revolve around heroin.
