The timeline for an opioid detox typically lasts about a week. This process can sometimes take longer if there are medical complications or if other substances are being abused along with heroin.
The first phase of the withdrawal process can begin as soon as six hours after a person’s last used an opioid. During this stage, symptoms are typically mild. They include muscle aches, limb pain, insomnia, runny nose, and sweating. The next phase of withdrawals usually occurs between one and three days after the last dosage and includes anxiety, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, elevated heart rate, and high blood pressure.
We offer medication-assisted detox to help relieve the physical symptoms of withdrawal. This level of care optimizes our client’s chances of successful recovery. There are a number of different medications that are used to relieve the symptoms of opioid withdrawal and reduce cravings. The most common types of these drugs are Buprenorphine, Naltrexone, and Methadone. These medications are administered by a physician. Our team of addiction treatment experts also provides encouragement and motivation to our clients. Once a recovering addict’s mind and body are free from the toxins created by opioid abuse, we help them transition to the next phase of their recovery.

Heroin is an illegal, opioid drug. It is also classified as an opiate because it is derived from the opium poppy plant. Other common opiates are morphine and codeine. The term opioid is used to refer to both these natural drugs as well as their synthetic relatives. There are many synthetic opioids, but the most common forms are hydrocodone, oxycodone, and methadone. All of these drugs have a similar effect on a person’s brain. And they cause the same, general, effects in varying degrees and duration.
These drugs are highly effective in treating pain. But they were never intended to be taken habitually or in large doses. When a person abuses an opioid that can easily become physical dependence on the drug. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) reports that 30% of the people who are prescribed opioids abuse them. They also state that 10% of people who are prescribed opioids develop opioid use disorder, which means that they meet the medical requirement for opioid addiction. NIDA reports that approximately 80% of people who are addicted to heroin, began their addiction by misusing prescription opioids.
Habitual use of opioids, and especially heroin, changes the way an addict’s brain works. The nerve receptors in their brain will become dependent on the influx of opioids to function properly. When a user becomes dependent on opioids, they will be unable to stop taking them or decrease their dosage without experiencing the symptoms of withdrawal.
The withdrawal symptoms of heroin and other powerful opioids are intensely unpleasant. The initial stages of heroin withdrawal begin only a few hours after the user takes their last dosage. These symptoms will include intense cravings, body aches and flu-like symptoms. Most heroin and opioid addicts are familiar with the early stages of withdrawal, as they will often experience them when they run out of drugs. But these symptoms don’t progress to their peak until 3 to 5 days after the last use. The feelings of withdrawal can cause an addict to get incredibly anxious, depressed, and unstable. A person who is dependent on an opioid should always under a professional medical detox and never. They should never attempt to undergo the full spectrum of withdrawals on their own.
A progressive detox program is a foundation for a successful recovery. SoCal Sunrise Recovery Center’s Mission Viejo heroin detox program utilizes the latest in evidence-based resources to make the detoxification process as comfortable, safe, and effective as possible.

Southern California Sunrise
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email michael@socalsunrise.com
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to michael@socalsunrise.com
