Heroin Detox: The Path to Recovery with Dr. Mark Leeds

Heroin is an analgesic, meaning it covers up pain. The pain covered up by heroin can be physical or emotional. Some people who are in pain and try heroin enjoy the feeling of euphoria and temporary freedom from pain.
Ever wondered how long it takes to detox from heroin and break free for good? Dr. Mark Leeds dives deep into this crucial topic, sharing his expertise on the physical and psychological challenges of heroin addiction. Heroin's grip can be all-encompassing, masking both physical and emotional pain, and leading to a cycle that's tough to break. Dr. Leeds explains the harsh reality of withdrawal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and restless leg syndrome, which can make the detox process feel daunting.
But there's hope. In this episode, you'll learn about medication-assisted treatment (MAT) options, including suboxone, which can help manage withdrawal symptoms and support long-term recovery. While some might see MAT as swapping one dependency for another, Dr. Leeds highlights how it can be a vital tool in healing both the body and mind.
He emphasizes that seeking help is the first step towards recovery and urges listeners not to let the fear of withdrawal stop them from reaching out for support. If you or someone you know is grappling with heroin addiction, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to help navigate the journey to sobriety.
