OPIOID ADDICTION TREATMENT

Opiates and opioids are among the most frequently misused substances. Doctors often prescribe them for pain management, but their addictive nature is undeniable.

Opiates are chemical compounds extracted from natural plant matter (e.g. poppy sap and fibers).

Opioids are chemical compounds that are generally “synthesized” or made in a laboratory.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dt_quote type=”pullquote” background=”fancy”]

• Physical Health: Opioid abuse can lead to nausea, vomiting, constipation, liver damage, and hormonal imbalances.
• Mental Health: Chronic opioid abuse is associated with mental health problems such as depression and anxiety.
• Withdrawal Symptoms: Cessation of opioids can trigger withdrawal symptoms including intense cravings, flu-like symptoms, and anxiety.

Commonly Abused Opioids

Opioids are available under various brand names, each with their own characteristics, risks, and potential for misuse. While opioids should only be used as prescribed by a healthcare professional, they are readily available to drug users on the streets – including counterfeit pills where the content is completely unknown.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=””]

Codeine

Codeine is an opioid analgesic, often combined with other medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to enhance its effectiveness. While available by prescription, codeine is also found in lower doses with some over-the-counter cough syrups and pain relievers. While less potent than other opioids like morphine and oxycodone, Codeine can still lead to addiction and dependence.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=””]

Fentanyl

Fentanyl is an incredibly potent synthetic painkiller that has caused many opioid-related deaths in the UK and the United States. It is estimated to be 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine and significantly stronger than heroin. If you are a Fentanyl user, it’s crucial to seek treatment immediately.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][dt_quote type=”pullquote” background=”fancy”]

“Illegally manufactured fentanyl is also found in other drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin. You are at risk of a fentanyl overdose if you use any of these drugs” – DHS Wisconsin

Methadone

Although typically used as an aid to quitting heroin, methadone can be very addictive. It carries the risk of overdose when misused or combined with other substances. Methadone is typically administered orally and has a long duration of action, allowing for once-daily dosing in supervised settings like methadone clinics.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=””]

Oxycodone (OxyContin)

While Oxycodone has legitimate medical uses, it also has the potential to cause great harm if used without a prescription or not as intended. If you or someone you know is struggling with Oxycodone abuse or dependence, it is essential to get professional help as soon as possible.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=””]

Tramadol

Tramadol is a synthetic opioid analgesic pain medication that is commonly given to patients recovering from surgery. It carries the risk of dependence, addiction, and withdrawal symptoms if used improperly, or for extended periods. Tramadol should be used cautiously and as directed by a healthcare professional.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=””]

Heroin

Heroin is a potent opioid drug synthesized from morphine, typically found as a white or brown powder; or as a black sticky substance known as black tar heroin. It is commonly injected, smoked, or snorted for its intense euphoric effects.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” border_width=”5″ el_width=”30″ css=”” accent_color=”#045689″][vc_column_text css=””]
