Heroin addiction is a life-threatening emergency. Every use carries overdose risk, especially with fentanyl-laced supply. Here are steps to help.
Blue lips, pinpoint pupils, slow/no breathing, unresponsiveness. Keep Narcan (naloxone) accessible at all times — it reverses opioid overdoses and saves lives. Available at most NH pharmacies without a prescription.
NH offers free Narcan kits and training through local harm reduction programs. Trailhead provides Narcan education for families. Learn to use it — you may need to save a life before treatment begins.
Stop covering for their behavior, providing money, or shielding them from consequences. Enabling delays the moment they recognize they need help. This is not tough love — it’s necessary love.
Track marks on arms or legs, wearing long sleeves in warm weather, spoons, cotton, or syringes. Needle exchange programs exist to reduce disease spread — they are not endorsing use.
Your mental health matters too. Consider therapy for yourself, join Nar-Anon or a support group, and maintain your own routines and boundaries. You cannot pour from an empty cup.
Heroin kills. With fentanyl contamination, every use could be the last. Don’t wait for them to “hit rock bottom.” Call us now — we can guide you on next steps even if they’re not ready.
Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients.
Call for Family SupportIt’s common for people struggling with heroin addiction to resist treatment. But with heroin, the stakes are different — every use could be fatal due to fentanyl contamination. This is a medical emergency that requires urgent action.
A structured, guided intervention led by a professional can break through denial and help your loved one see the immediate danger of continued heroin use.
Most heroin in New Hampshire now contains fentanyl. There is no “safe” dose. Help them understand that every use is Russian roulette — this isn’t about hitting rock bottom, it’s about survival.
Follow through on consequences you’ve communicated. Boundaries protect your wellbeing and can motivate change.
While you wait for them to accept help, having naloxone (Narcan) on hand can mean the difference between life and death. Free kits are available throughout NH.
If there’s immediate danger — overdose, suicidal thoughts, or risk of harm — call 911 immediately. Administer Narcan if available. Then call the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Our admissions team can guide you through next steps, discuss intervention options, coordinate detox placement, and help you prepare for when your loved one is ready to accept help.
Call (857) 312-1697Our family support program provides education and community for anyone affected by a loved one’s heroin addiction.
Topics include codependency, family systems, substance use education, overdose prevention, and building a recovery-supportive home.
Trailhead Treatment Center is located in the medical and behavioral health corridor of Salem, New Hampshire. We provide heroin addiction treatment for adults throughout greater New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts.
Conveniently accessible via I-93 and Route 28, with clients commuting from:
Dually licensed in New Hampshire and Massachusetts — serving clients from both states.
Common signs include track marks or needle marks on the arms or legs, pinpoint pupils, nodding off or extreme drowsiness, significant weight loss, secretive behavior, finding drug paraphernalia (spoons, syringes, rubber tubing, tin foil), and sudden financial problems or stealing.
Detox is coordinated externally and typically lasts 5–10 days. After detox, our PHP program runs 20–30 days, IOP runs 60–90 days, and MAT may be ongoing for months or longer. Most clients benefit from a step-down approach — starting with higher intensity and gradually transitioning to less structured support.
Trailhead does not provide medical detox on-site. However, we coordinate closely with trusted detox facilities in the area and can admit clients to our PHP program within 24–48 hours of completing detox. Our admissions team will help arrange the transition seamlessly.
Our on-site Nurse Practitioner can prescribe Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone), which prevents withdrawal and reduces cravings. We also coordinate Methadone maintenance and offer Vivitrol (naltrexone) injections. Medication is always combined with therapy and counseling. Client choice on approach is respected.
No. Suboxone is an FDA-approved medication that prevents withdrawal symptoms, reduces cravings, and blocks the euphoric effects of opioids. When combined with therapy, it is one of the most effective treatments for heroin addiction. It stabilizes brain chemistry, allowing clients to focus on recovery. Suboxone saves lives.
Yes. Our Evening Professional Track (6–9 PM, Monday through Thursday) is specifically designed for working adults. We also offer afternoon IOP sessions and telehealth options. You can switch between time slots daily based on your work schedule.
Most major insurance plans cover heroin addiction treatment, including MAT. We are in-network with Anthem BCBS, Point 32 Health (Harvard Pilgrim + Tufts), Tricare, Uprise Health, and WellSense (NH Medicaid). Our admissions team can verify your benefits in minutes — call (857) 312-1697 or use our online form.
We use a combination of evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, 12-Step facilitation, SMART Recovery, relapse prevention, and holistic approaches like breathwork, yoga, and meditation.
We plan for aftercare from day one. Options include stepping down to IOP or OP, continued MAT if appropriate, enrolling in our alumni program, Narcan training for you and your family, referrals to external therapists and psychiatrists, and sober living coordination. Recovery is a lifelong journey and we provide ongoing support.
Extremely dangerous. The vast majority of heroin sold in New Hampshire is now laced with fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50–100 times more potent than morphine. This means every single use carries the risk of fatal overdose — even for experienced users. There is no way to know the potency of street heroin. Treatment is urgent and potentially life-saving.
Your recovery begins with a single phone call. We’ll handle the rest.
