Call (888) 984-9911

Heroin is a short acting opioid, so withdrawal tends to come on fast, often within 8 to 12 hours of the last use, and it feels like a severe flu with aches, sweating, nausea, and powerful cravings. It is not usually dangerous by itself, but it is very hard to push through alone.

In Charlotte, heroin detox is safest when it includes MOUD such as buprenorphine or methadone plus a plan for what comes next, because overdose risk spikes once tolerance drops. Of Charlotte's 5 detox centers, 5 report opioid detox services, which include heroin.
