Heroin (sometimes misspelled as "heroine") is highly addictive. The number of Americans who have tried or use heroin is alarming. Prescription painkillers, namely vicodin and oxycontin, are some of the most widely used and abused narcotics. An addiction to heroin, vicodin and other opiates is complex and requires treatment in a specialized heroin rehab clinic, like Brighton Clinic.

"I may be able to manage the patient medically, but it also takes someone else to teach this chronically ill person how to get through his day without using drugs or alcohol", says Eric N. Coffman, DO, who specializes in family and addiction medicine on staff at St. Mary's Hospital in Livonia, Botsford Hospital in Farmington Hills, and Garden City Hospital in Garden City.  "When a patient's needs suggest a longer length of inpatient stay and a highly structured program, I look toward Brighton Hospital with confidence in the program and respect for the understanding and experience of its medical staff."

For patients who require rehabilitation or "rehab" for heroin, vicodin, oxycontin, or other narcotics, Brighton's rehab clinic offers a highly structured inpatient program, and extended outpatient opiate treatment series, which includes an individualized interdisciplinary rehabilitation plan, medical monitoring with a heroin treatment facility physician, and group therapy sessions designed to overcome addiction and cravings. Because of the longer and more intensive rehabilitation that heroin, vicodin, and other narcotic addictions require, extended treatment with medications, in conjunction with ongoing education and recovery activities are required for success.
