THE SILENT PANDEMIC:

DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTION IN THE WORKPLACE

LOOK IN THE MIRROR…NOW START LOOKING AHEAD

There are few, if any, types of substance abuse care more urgent and complex than heroin treatment. Heroin renders users dependent in rapid-fire fashion, and along the way, creates a whole litany of acute and long-term medical physical damage. It puts the user’s brain and body through the ringer, and locks them in a vicious cycle of cravings, withdrawal, relapse which will eventually lead to overdose. Over 15,400 Americans died of heroin overdose in 2015, according to data from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. For every one of these tragedies, there was a previous pathology of sickness, pain, withdrawal and a breakdown in quality of life, that signaled the critical need for treatment. Don’t become another casualty of the ticking clock of heroin addiction. If you or someone you care about is struggling with heroin addiction, call Recovery Unplugged today to start treatment.
