Heroin addiction is a severe and chronic disease that can lead to devastating consequences if left untreated. In Toledo and Maumee, Ohio, Vital Health offers comprehensive heroin addiction treatment programs designed to help individuals achieve lasting recovery. Our evidence-based approach integrates medication-assisted treatment (MAT), behavioral therapies, and robust support systems to address the complex needs of those struggling with opioid dependence.
The opioid crisis has deeply impacted communities across Ohio, with heroin and fentanyl posing significant threats. Our programs are designed to address the immediate dangers of opioid use, including the prevalence of fentanyl-laced heroin, and provide a safe pathway to recovery. We emphasize rapid intervention and personalized care to mitigate risks and support long-term sobriety.
Our treatment approach for heroin addiction includes medically supervised ambulatory detox to safely manage withdrawal symptoms, followed by Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) using Sublocade or Vivitrol. These FDA-approved medications significantly reduce cravings and block the effects of opioids, providing a stable foundation for recovery. Alongside MAT, clients engage in intensive outpatient programs (IOP) or partial hospitalization programs (PHP) that incorporate individual and group therapy, focusing on relapse prevention, coping skills, and addressing underlying mental health conditions.

Nearly all heroin sold in Northwest Ohio now contains fentanyl — a synthetic opioid 50-100 times stronger than morphine. This means every use carries a risk of fatal overdose, even for experienced users. The only safe response is treatment.
