The most common treatment for heroin addiction is methadone, which is a long-acting opioid medication used to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Methadone maintenance therapy is associated with very severe withdrawal symptoms in newborns, but it is still considered the most effective treatment option for pregnant women with opioid addiction. Counseling and physical therapy may be useful as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, but they alone cannot address the physical dependence on heroin. Marijuana is not a recommended treatment for heroin addiction.
