The hardest part of heroin addiction is knowing how to get out
For many people, the fear of withdrawal is what keeps them stuck long after they’ve decided they want to stop. Charterhouse Clinic’s heroin addiction treatment manages every stage of that process, which changes what getting out actually feels like.

FAQs about heroin rehab
What is the reality of opiate withdrawal?
It’s a significant physical process, but one our medical team manages completely. Most people find it far more manageable than they expected, because they’re monitored and supported throughout rather than going through it alone.
Can you manage a transition off methadone or suboxone?
Yes. We design a phased, medically supervised route to complete sobriety for clients currently on maintenance medication. The goal is total independence, achieved at a pace that’s safe and sustainable.
How long does heroin rehab take?
A 28-day residential stay is the clinical standard, giving enough time for full physical detox and the start of the deeper psychological work. Extended stays are available for clients who need more time before returning to their lives.
My dependency started with a prescription. Does this matter?
It matters in the sense that it informs how we approach your treatment. Many clients at our opiate addiction rehab arrive via prescription painkillers. We build your programme around that specific history.
How secure is my personal information?
Completely. Nothing about your stay at our detox clinic for heroin addiction is shared without your explicit written consent. Who you tell, and when, is entirely your decision.
Do I need a referral to get started?
No. You can contact Charterhouse Clinic directly, and we handle everything from there. There’s no need for a GP referral unless you’d like us to liaise with your doctor.
