Heroin Addiction Treatment

Tranquility Woods utilizes a comprehensive, individualized treatment program to combat heroin addiction, blending evidence-based practices with holistic therapies within a serene woodland sanctuary.

The Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS Score) is a tool used to measure the severity of opiate withdrawal symptoms, guiding treatment in various healthcare settings, including addiction treatment centers. By evaluating 11 different symptoms, including pulse rate, sweating, restlessness, and pupil size, the scale provides a score ranging from 0 to 36. This score categorizes withdrawal as mild, moderate, moderately severe, or severe, allowing medical professionals to tailor treatment methods such as medication. As a valuable and non-invasive method, the COWS Score ensures individualized and humane care for those undergoing opioid withdrawal, aligning with evidence-based practices like the ASAM criteria.

Symptom	Description
Muscle Aches	These can begin within a few hours after the last dose and may become quite severe.
Restlessness	Feeling agitated and highly anxious
Insomnia	Difficulty sleeping is a common symptom during withdrawal.
Sweating	Sweating often increases as the body reacts to the absence of the drug.
Digestive Issues	This can include symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping.
Runny Nose and Teary Eyes	These symptoms can make a person feel like they have a bad cold or flu.
Yawning and Fatigue	Excessive yawning may occur, along with general feelings of tiredness.
Chills and Goosebumps	The individual may experience cold chills and gooseflesh, often referred to as "cold turkey."
Depression and Irritability	Mood changes, including irritability and depression, are common as the brain chemistry adjusts.

Suboxone, a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, is frequently used to treat heroin withdrawal as part of a comprehensive addiction treatment program. Buprenorphine helps to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms by partially activating opioid receptors, without producing a strong euphoric effect. Naloxone, an opioid antagonist, helps prevent misuse of the medication. Together, these components allow Suboxone to provide a controlled reduction of withdrawal symptoms, easing the transition off heroin while minimizing the risk of dependency on the medication itself.
