Signs & Symptoms

Recognizing Heroin Addiction

Like elevation contour lines, symptoms deepen as heroin dependence progresses. Understanding where you are helps determine the right treatment approach.

Mild — Elevation 1,000 ft

Early Warning Signs

  • Using heroin more frequently or in larger amounts than intended
  • Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop heroin use
  • Spending excessive time obtaining, using, or recovering from heroin
  • Persistent cravings or strong urges to use heroin
Moderate — Elevation 3,000 ft

Escalating Impact

  • Failing to fulfill responsibilities at work, school, or home
  • Continuing heroin use despite social or relationship problems
  • Giving up important activities in favor of heroin use
  • Using heroin in hazardous situations or with unknown purity/fentanyl risk
Severe — Elevation 5,000 ft

Critical Territory

  • Tolerance — needing larger doses of heroin to avoid withdrawal
  • Withdrawal sickness (muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea, cold sweats, insomnia, bone aches)
  • Track marks, nodding off, dramatic weight loss, skin abscesses from injection
  • Inability to control or stop use despite wanting to — high risk of fatal overdose

If you or a loved one is experiencing any of these signs, call us at (857) 312-1697

Field Guide for Families

How to Help a Loved One

Supporting someone through addiction requires preparation. Consider these expedition tips.

1

Educate Yourself

Learn about addiction as a brain disease, not a moral failing. Understanding the science helps reduce blame and opens the door to compassion.

2

Avoid Enabling

There’s a difference between helping and enabling. Stop covering for them, making excuses, or removing natural consequences of their heroin use.

3

Set Boundaries with Compassion

Clear boundaries protect both of you. Be firm yet loving — “I love you, and I can’t watch you destroy yourself.”

4

Join Family Therapy

Trailhead offers monthly Zoom family education groups. Open to all family members 18+. Curriculum covers codependency, family systems, and substance use education.

5

Take Care of Yourself

You can’t lead an expedition if you’re exhausted. Seek your own therapy, attend Al-Anon meetings, and prioritize your mental health too.

6

Learn About Codependency

Family systems often develop unhealthy patterns around addiction. Understanding these dynamics is the first step to changing them.

Our family support program is open to all family members 18+. (857) 312-1697

When They’re Not Ready

What If They Refuse Treatment?

When a loved one won’t accept help, these structured communication steps can make a difference.

Step 01 — Recon

Don’t Wait for Rock Bottom

The idea that someone must “hit rock bottom” is a myth. Earlier intervention leads to better outcomes. Start gathering information and preparing now.

Step 02 — Approach

Use Compassionate Language

Express concern without judgment. Use “I’ve noticed...” instead of “You always...”. Motivational interviewing techniques can guide the conversation.

Step 03 — Establish Perimeter

Set Clear Boundaries

Boundaries aren’t ultimatums — they’re statements of what you will and won’t accept. Enforce them consistently with love and follow through.

Step 04 — Call for Backup

Consider Professional Intervention

A trained interventionist can facilitate a structured conversation. This isn’t about ambushing — it’s about organized, loving support from the whole team.

Step 05 — Emergency Protocol

Know When to Call for Help

If there’s immediate danger — overdose, withdrawal seizures, threats of self-harm — call 911. For guidance on next steps, call us anytime at (857) 312-1697.

Our admissions team can guide you through next steps — even if your loved one isn’t ready yet.
