Opiate Addiction Treatment
One of America’s Top Addiction Rehabilitation Clinics
Heroin is highly addictive. The number of Americans who have tried or use heroin is alarming. Prescription painkillers, namely Vicodin® and Oxycontin®, are some of the most widely used and abused narcotics. An addiction to heroin, Vicodin® and other opiates is complex and requires treatment in a specialized heroin and/or opiate rehab clinic, like Brighton Hospital. For patients who require extended treatment with medications used for treatment of opiate dependence, Suboxone® (buprenorphine) or naltrexone, we offer extended outpatient treatment. It includes an individualized interdisciplinary treatment plan, medical monitoring with a physician, and group therapy. Groups are available in the morning or evening. Overall, we’re experienced in treating dependencies of many types, including alcohol, stimulants (cocaine, crank, methamphetamines, ecstasy, MDMA, amphetamines, crystal meth, speed), opiates and other depressants (heroin, Oxycontin®, barbiturates, GHB, prescription painkillers), benzodiazepines (Valium®, Xanax®, Klonopin®, clonazepam), other prescription drugs, ketamine, and marijuana. Many people suffer from addiction to two or more substances simultaneously. Our skilled medical and counseling staff is able to handle these more complex addictions and other behaviors. The type of treatment a patient receives depends on many factors, the amount, and frequency of use, prior treatment history and motivation to change. All levels of care prepare patients to return to independent living.
“I may be able to manage the patient medically, but it also takes someone else to teach this chronically ill person how to get through his day without using drugs or alcohol”, says Eric N. Coffman, DO, who specializes in family and addiction medicine on staff at St. Mary’s Hospital in Livonia, Botsford Hospital in Farmington Hills, and Garden City Hospital in Garden City. “When a patient’s needs suggest a longer length of inpatient stay and a highly structured program, I look toward Brighton Hospital with confidence in the program and respect for the understanding and experience of its medical staff.”

For patients who require rehabilitation for heroin, Vicodin®, Oxycontin®, or other narcotics, Brighton’s rehab clinic offers a highly structured inpatient program, and extended outpatient opiate treatment series, which includes an individualized interdisciplinary rehabilitation plan, medical monitoring with a heroin treatment facility physician, and group therapy sessions designed to overcome addiction and cravings. Because of the longer and more intensive rehabilitation that heroin, Vicodin®, and other narcotic addictions require, extended treatment with medications, in conjunction with ongoing education and recovery activities are required for success.
