It is possible without resorting to mathadone, but much harder. I think most doctors would advise the use of mathadone, but the only problem is that it could lead to a relapse.

It is a great first step that he went to the hospital, because attempting <a href="http://www.symptomsofheroinuse.com/">heroin</a> addiction detoxification without professional assistance is not only dangerous, but also sometimes deadly. He has done it for 7 years, so is going to take him months maybe a year or more of treatment. Recovery should take place in an addiction treatment centers. People recover from a <a href="http://www.symptomsofheroinuse.com/">heroin</a> addiction every single day, but they rarely do it alone. Long-term treatment programs are proven to have a higher success rate due to the fact that the individual is given more time to gain the benefits of the treatment center. From what I read, Initially the <a href="http://www.symptomsofheroinuse.com/">heroin</a> addict will go through a detoxification process as part of their treatment. This is only part of the initial steps of recovery; many individuals misinterpret this vital step as the "only" step and feel that they have accomplished their goal of <a href="http://www.symptomsofheroinuse.com/">heroin</a> addiction recovery. After detoxification the recovering <a href="http://www.symptomsofheroinuse.com/">heroin</a> addict must learn life's lessons and come to an understanding of why they began to use heroin. There are many steps that follow and each drug addiction, the treatment center will go through them at a different pace and hit unique points that are of importance on the road of <a href="http://www.symptomsofheroinuse.com/">heroin</a> addiction recovery. They call <a href="http://www.symptomsofheroinuse.com/">heroin</a> the slow death, because eventually people die from it. But there is hope, hang in there.
