Opioids are a class of drugs that include both legal prescription pain relievers and illegal substances, generally producing pain-relieving and pleasurable effects in the body and brain. Common types of opioids include oxycodone, morphine, fentanyl, and heroin.
Regular use of opioids can lead to physical dependence, which over time causes increased tolerance, resulting in the user taking higher doses to achieve the same effects.
Opioids have a high potential for addiction because they activate opioid receptors in the body, creating feelings of pleasure and reward-seeking that can result in compulsive and addictive behaviors.
If you or a loved one are struggling with opioid addiction, we can create a tailored treatment plan to help you recover and reach sobriety.
Opioid use disorder can be recognized by symptoms such as:
Opioid substance abuse can negatively impact the user’s mental and physical health, as well as important relationships.
The first step to addressing opioid addiction is our inpatient detoxification, which provides access to 24/7 medical monitoring and compassionate support while you work through your withdrawal symptoms.
We’ll help minimize withdrawal symptoms and keep you feeling comfortable in the early stages of recovery.
After detox, we recommend residential treatment, which allows clients to continue their recovery in a safe space where their usual triggers aren’t present. In our residential program, you’ll participate in healing group activities, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other therapies and modalities tailored to your needs.
We understand addiction recovery’s difficulties and are here to help. Not only will we help manage withdrawal symptoms—we’ll take a holistic approach to recovery, giving you the tools you need for long-lasting sobriety.
