Breaking the Chains: Medical Opioid & Heroin De-Addiction
Opioid addiction (whether to Heroin, Brown Sugar, or prescription painkillers) is one of the most challenging medical conditions to overcome. These substances hijack the brain's survival instincts, making the drug feel as essential as oxygen. The fear of the excruciating withdrawal symptoms often keeps individuals trapped in the cycle of use, even when they desperately want to stop.
At Bharosa Neuropsychiatry Hospitals, we want you to know: You do not have to suffer to get clean. We use advanced medical protocols to manage withdrawal, making the path to sobriety safe, dignified, and manageable.
Understanding the Opioid Crisis
Opioids bind to receptors in the brain to block pain and induce euphoria. However, tolerance builds rapidly, requiring higher doses to avoid getting "dope sick." We treat addiction to all forms of opioids:
Fearless Detox: Our Medical Approach
The biggest barrier to quitting heroin is the withdrawal: bone pain, vomiting, insomnia, and intense cravings. At Bharosa, we bridge this gap with Opioid Substitution Therapy (OST) and Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT).
1. Stabilization (The First 7-10 Days)
- We admit patients into our secure Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or High-Dependency Unit.
- Symptom Management: We use FDA-approved medications (like Buprenorphine/Naloxone) to bind to opioid receptors. This stops the cravings and blocks withdrawal symptoms without producing a "high."
- 24/7 Monitoring: Our nursing staff monitors vitals constantly to ensure the heart and lungs remain stable during detox.
2. Psychological Reconstruction
- Once the physical dependency is broken, we tackle the psychological need.
- Contingency Management: A behavioral therapy that provides tangible rewards for staying clean.
- Trauma Therapy: Many opioid users are self-medicating for past trauma or abuse. We address the root cause.
3. Relapse Prevention (Naltrexone)
- For eligible patients, we offer Naltrexone therapy (oral or implant). This medication blocks the effects of opioids completely. If a patient slips up and uses heroin while on Naltrexone, they will not feel the high, effectively breaking the reward cycle.
At Bharosa, we prioritize Safety First. Our patients undergo Medically Assisted Detox under the 24/7 supervision of psychiatrists and critical care nurses to ensure the alcohol leaves the body safely and painlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. When prescribed and monitored by a psychiatrist, medications like Buprenorphine stabilize brain chemistry. They allow the patient to function normally, hold a job, and participate in therapy, rather than chasing a high. It is a bridge to recovery, not a crutch.
We strongly advise against home detox for opioids. The withdrawal symptoms can be traumatic and lead to severe dehydration and heart strain. Furthermore, the risk of relapse (and subsequent overdose due to lowered tolerance) is incredibly high without supervision.
Yes. Tramadol is a commonly abused painkiller in India that carries risks of both opioid dependency and seizures. We have a specialized protocol for tapering off Tramadol safely.
