Opioid Treatment

Signs Someone Needs Treatment for Opioid Abuse 

Individuals taking prescription opioids for pain may develop a tolerance and begin misusing them by taking higher or more frequent doses than prescribed. Without medically monitored detox and opioid addiction treatment, they may turn to more dangerous drugs, like heroin, for a stronger effect. The more potent the substance, the more severe the short- and long-term effects. Immediate help is crucial if you suspect a loved one shows signs of opioid addiction. 

Common signs of opioid abuse include: 

• Doctor shopping 
• Taking prescription opioids not prescribed to them 
• Not following the prescribed dosage 
• Using medication without a medical reason 
• Defensive or secretive behavior about drug use 
• Track or needle marks on arms or legs 
• Mood swings 
• Frequently borrowing money 
• Self-isolation 
• Drug paraphernalia like burnt spoons and needles 

Other symptoms of opioid abuse: 

• Slurred speech, drowsiness, and impaired coordination 
• Changes in appearance, such as dark circles under the eyes, pale skin, and weight loss 
• Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home 
• Continuing to use opioids despite negative consequences like legal or financial problems 
• Increased tolerance to opioids, needing higher doses for the same effect 
• Withdrawal symptoms like sweating, nausea, and anxiety when not using opioids 

Without treatment, opioid abuse can lead to severe health problems. Many addicts deny their substance abuse problem, making it difficult to get them help. Those ready to recover may not know how to start. Professional rehab facilities offer the necessary support for achieving sobriety.  

Opioid Rehab Program 

Treatment for opioid addiction varies based on the duration of addiction and the individual's health condition upon arrival. Each person's unique needs influence their treatment plan. Our opioid abuse treatment requires a full health assessment before beginning drug or alcohol treatment, providing a clear picture of the patient's condition. 

Most patients undergoing opioid treatment start with a medical detoxification to rid the body of toxins, making recovery more comfortable. This process often includes withdrawal symptoms, so patients receive 24/7 medical assistance. Our trained professionals lead the detox process and help alleviate discomfort. 

After detox, patients proceed to the addiction treatment program best suited to their needs. Treatment addresses the specific psychological and physical effects of substance abuse. Alongside individual and group sessions, patients receive comprehensive care to address underlying factors of addiction. 

Without treatment, serious issues like opioid overdose brain damage can occur. Our facility offers safe, professional substance abuse treatment to help addicts avoid these consequences.
