Medications like Suboxone are a crucial part of any opioid detox program.

In this guide, we want to get you the most accurate information and answer as many questions you have about overcoming your addiction.
“What’s going to happen to me?” It’s one of the most common questions we hear when the heroin addiction treatment process is in its beginning moments. And that makes perfect sense! Something that your body depends on to feel “good” and “normal” isn’t going to be available anymore. What does that mean for you? What will your body and mind go through? And what does a treatment facility do to help in that process?
While everyone’s treatment journey is unique, a few generalities exist. These include things that can be highlighted to help answer some of those burning questions about your journey from addiction to recovery, and what happens in between.
It’s not always obvious when someone has an opioid addiction. Doctors use an 11-point checklist to figure out if there is an underlying problem to someone’s opioid use and if it’s time to go to a detox facility. Since the signs aren’t always clear, it’s important to take any strange habits or suspicions very seriously.
Opioid Addiction Checklist
Based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, if someone experiences at least two of the symptoms on the checklist within the past year, they most likely have an addiction to opioids.
