Heroin Addiction Treatment

Heroin Addiction Treatment

Heroin addiction remains one of the most dangerous and difficult substance use disorders to overcome. It impacts not just the brain and body but also deeply affects emotions, relationships, and mental health.1 At The Grove Recovery Center, we provide heroin addiction treatment grounded in medical evidence, clinical experience, and compassionate care. Our team specializes in helping individuals build long-term recovery, no matter where they are in their journey.

A Leominster-Based Program for Central Massachusetts

As a trusted leader in Central Massachusetts, heroin addiction treatment at The Grove Recovery Center offers a full continuum of care in a warm, supportive setting. Based in Leominster, our team tailors every treatment plan to each client’s needs, whether they’re coming out of detox or need extra support after a relapse.

We offer multiple outpatient levels of care, including partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs, all designed to keep recovery moving forward without requiring overnight stays. These services allow clients to rebuild their lives while staying connected to family, work, and community.

What to Expect From Heroin Addiction Treatment

Heroin is a highly addictive opioid that rapidly alters brain chemistry, leading to both physical and psychological dependence.2 That’s why heroin addiction treatment must address both withdrawal and the deeper emotional patterns that drive substance use.

For many clients, the process begins with heroin withdrawal support, where we help manage the physical symptoms of early recovery. From there, clients often transition into medication-assisted treatment for heroin, which combines FDA-approved medications like buprenorphine with behavioral therapy to reduce cravings and prevent relapse.

You can learn more about how MAT works on our Medication-Assisted Treatment page.

PHP and IOP for Heroin Addiction

We provide two structured outpatient options: Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP). Both are designed to offer clinical structure without requiring inpatient admission.

  • PHP for heroin use delivers full-day treatment five days a week. It’s ideal for those needing daily support, group therapy, medical monitoring, and accountability
  • IOP for heroin addiction allows more flexibility, offering several sessions per week while clients begin transitioning back into daily life.

Our Levels of Care page offers more details on how these programs work.

Treating the Root: Trauma and Mental Health

Heroin addiction often masks deeper pain. Whether rooted in grief, abuse, or PTSD, trauma can keep people stuck in cycles of relapse. That’s why we integrate heroin and trauma recovery as part of our core programming.

We also specialize in dual diagnosis heroin treatment, which supports clients who are managing both addiction and mental health disorders like depression or anxiety. Treating both conditions together improves outcomes and gives clients a more complete foundation for recovery.

Learn more about this approach on our Dual Diagnosis page.

Staying Sober: Relapse Prevention and Aftercare

At The Grove Recovery Center, treatment isn’t just about getting clean. It’s about staying that way. We focus heavily on relapse prevention for heroin, helping clients understand their triggers, develop coping skills, and build a support network that lasts well beyond their time with us.

Recovery is a process, not a moment. We offer long-term care coordination, connections to community resources, and ongoing support to keep clients moving forward.
