South Dayton Recovery & Addiction Services

Most of us know Heroin as a very powerful, illegal and life-taking drug that has completely taken over the streets and many peoples lives, but what most don’t know is that it is a street drug and opiate, derived from morphine. It has no medical use whatsoever, and is only available through the illegal “black markets.” Due to the fact that no one knows exactly where it comes from, it is not regulated and that means that know one really knows what they will get in a substance marked as “heroin.”

The road to recovery is a long and winding one, but the one thing that it is not, is impossible. With the right support, recovery is possible for everyone! The first step is creating a new life where addiction has absolutely no place. You have to recognize that you must change your environment, including places and people, to create a new life where you are surrounded only by supportive, positive people that will encourage you on your road to recovery.. This is absolutely essential! If you do not take this first step to redirect your life, all of the factors that led you to addiction may eventually catch back up with you. This step will not be an easy one, but it will be worth it, we assure you! Like most self serving journeys, it all starts within. You must decide you want sobriety for yourself and go after it!

With 2019 here to stay, why wait to make a change, a better you is just one decision away! We get it, New Year resolutions are some of the most stressful goals to set for your self when it comes to a better you and living a better lifestyle every year, but they don’t have to be!

Is there a way to detect fentanyl in heroin?

Everyone is different. The time in treatment varies from patient to patient.

We often hear this question from concerned family members and patients, but we most certainly do not see it that way. Nor do the patients we treat.

Methadone and Suboxone treatments are vastly different, but patients can switch from a methadone treatment program to a Suboxone program.

Progress of our patients is tracked through monthly appointments with both the counselor and physician.

Most patients will be seen once a month. There are exceptions The exceptions to this are your first visit, and if any issues arise during your treatment.

If you need pain medications for a procedure or surgery, then we will work closely with your other providers. Having this concern is a very good sign!
