Heroin Treatment
Heroin Detox That Doesn’t Feel Like Punishment.
Fear of withdrawal keeps people using. We take the fear — and most of the suffering — out of it.
Medication-supported detox at Guardian Recovery manages heroin withdrawal from the first hours: easing symptoms, protecting your safety, and starting the clinical work that makes this detox the last one you need.
Medication-Supported Detox
Evidence-based medications ease withdrawal from day one — you don’t have to white-knuckle it.
Fentanyl-Aware Protocols
Today’s heroin is rarely just heroin. Our medical protocols account for fentanyl’s longer, harder withdrawal.
24/7 Medical Care
Nursing around the clock — symptoms are managed as they appear, day or night.
Cravings & Relapse Prevention
Clinical strategies and, where appropriate, medication support that blunt cravings well past detox.
The Pain Underneath
Trauma, depression, and anxiety usually sit under opioid use. Treating them is how recovery holds.
A Full Path Forward
Detox flows into residential and outpatient care with the same team — no gaps, no starting over.

Stories of Recovery
Reclaim Your Life | Rewrite Your Story.
From the people and families who walked this path before you.
“One phone call and they handled everything — my insurance, a flight, even what to tell my boss. Three days into detox I realized I hadn’t felt that safe in years.”
Kevin S. Alumni · Immersion
“We called about my brother at 2 a.m. and a real person answered, listened, and walked us through everything. He detoxed in Maine and did residential in New Hampshire — same team behind both.”
Danielle R. Family member of an alumni
“Eighteen months sober. What made the difference was continuity — from detox through virtual IOP back home, I never fell through the cracks.”
Marcus T. Alumni · Guardian Recovery

Common Questions
Answers Before You Call.
How bad is heroin withdrawal, really?
Untreated, it’s one of the most miserable experiences there is — but with medical detox it’s a different story. Medications manage symptoms from the first hours, and most people are through the worst within several days.
How long does heroin detox take?
Typically 5 to 10 days, though fentanyl in the supply can extend the timeline. Your medical team adjusts the plan daily based on how your body responds.
Do you use medication-assisted treatment (MAT)?
Medication support is part of evidence-based opioid detox, and longer-term medication options are discussed with your medical team based on your situation and goals.
How much does heroin detox cost?
For most people with insurance, heroin detox can be covered in full or in large part. We verify your exact benefits for free before you commit to anything, and we offer self-pay rates and financing for those without coverage.
Will anyone find out I’m in treatment?
No. Your care is protected by federal privacy law (HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2). We never share information with employers, family, or anyone else without your written consent.
What happens after detox?
Detox is the beginning, not the destination. Before you discharge, your clinical team builds your next step with you — residential care, PHP, IOP, or outpatient — so the progress you make continues without interruption.
Can you help me travel to treatment?
Yes. Many clients travel to the Guardian campus that best fits their clinical needs — and many find that distance from old routines helps. Our team coordinates flights and airport pickup, and travel can often be arranged the same day you call.
