Heroin Rehab & Addiction Treatment Center

Heroin addiction is a serious problem that can lead to devastating consequences for those addicted, their families, and their communities. The effects of heroin use can be extreme, with users experiencing intense cravings, intense withdrawal symptoms if they stop using, and long-lasting changes to the brain’s chemistry. These changes can make it difficult for individuals to make sound decisions and engage in risky behaviors. Heroin addiction treatment in San Bernardino County, California, at Benchmark Transitions can help people overcome the disease and reclaim their lives.

Getting Help For Heroin Addiction

Heroin addiction typically begins with a person trying the drug out of curiosity or to fit in with a group. Heroin is an opioid that produces an intense rush of euphoria, which can be addictive for many people. At first, the user might only use heroin occasionally and may even be able to control their usage. However, as the person’s tolerance builds up and the body begins to depend on the drug, addiction can develop. Additionally, some people may experience severe withdrawal symptoms when they try to quit using, leading them to continue using despite the risks and negative consequences. Heroin addiction can have devastating effects on an individual’s physical and mental health and well-being, as well as their relationships with friends and family.

Heroin addiction treatment has come a long way in recent years, and there are now a variety of treatments available to help individuals overcome their addiction. Treatment can vary depending on the individual’s needs, but generally includes some combination of behavioral therapy, medications, and peer recovery support. Treatment at Benchmark Transitions is available and can help people overcome their addiction and get back to living a healthy, productive life.

Reviews for Benchmark Transitions Treatment Center

I realized how out of control my life had become...

"When I arrived here I was an absolute mess and unstable to say the least. I was convinced I didn’t have a drug problem and I refused to even dare compare or relate to the people in the room. After the overdose I was scared for my life. I was unable to speak clearly enough for anyone to understand but the best blessing that came from it was a fresh start, a clear head, and a real understanding of powerlessness.

When I came to it was sickening – I realized how out of control my life had become in a matter of only a weekend. But Benchmark and my treatment team gave me the opportunity and chance I so desperately needed to better myself. The time I spent here was an absolute blessing and an opportunity of a lifetime."

It's truly a blessing to see the effects the program has on the clients...

I’ve seen some amazing things occur with the clients that have come through the program at Benchmark. I’ve seen wonderful turn-around with clients that will not even speak to staff and hold their head down always, to walking with their head held high, showing confidence, smiling, interacting and being talkative with staff and coming alive right before my eyes!

The transformation is so great to see – it’s truly a blessing to see the effects the program has on the clients!!!

We could go on and on about his progress and your wonderful staff...

Our son is completing his program at Benchmark… we are thrilled with the progress he has made. But we are also sad because over the last 20 months we have built relationships with many of your staff and will miss them greatly. As you know, our son was really struggling when he entered Benchmark. He would rarely leave his room or even get out of bed and the situation at home was deteriorating rapidly. But through the amazing work of your staff and program, he is not the same person today. He is leaving as a young man who is maturing slowly but steadily.

He still has challenges but the nature has changed. He gets up every morning and likes walking to places around Redlands. He knows how to shop and cook for himself. With Ronnie’s coaching, he persisted in his job search and got a position at Cafe Rio where he was very successful for a while. Now he needs to focus on maintaining his employment for the long term. So we are grateful for the progress one step at a time.

We could go on and on about his progress and your wonderful staff. But we don’t want to send you a 10 page email : ) However we did want to write a few words to capture our feelings about Benchmark as he enters this new phase of his life.

I was introduced to everyone who will be involved in my son's treatment...

My 25 year old son checked in this past Thursday. My first impression is extremely positive. I was introduced to everyone who will be involved in my son’s treatment. I was given a tour of the facility and his schedule of treatment was discussed. The next day I received a phone call from my son and one of his mentors. I also received an email with information pertaining to the Family Bridge, a portal where parents and family members can write to their loved one at Benchmark. I see photos of my son enjoying hiking and positive activities with his peer group. It is so important to me that I am “in the loop” and know what is happening with my son (even if he is an adult at 25).

He had gone to another rehab last year and that experience was very different. Though we had an appointment, we were kept waiting for hours. I was never introduced to the staff, the program was never discussed. I was told that I could not see the rooms. They seemed disorganized and overwhelmed.

Benchmark does feel warm, caring and like a family. The 18-28 age group is perfect for us. Aside from addiction recovery, my son is learning vocational, educational and life skills (such as money management & career counseling). I will post again after 6 months. So far, I feel optimistic and relieved.
