If you suffer from opioid-use disorder, you are anything but alone. Opioid abuse is now a national epidemic, with overdose rates rising every year.
Opioid addiction is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. It wreaks havoc on your body, deteriorates your brain, and has the power to destroy your relationships. The only way to overcome this crippling dependence is through addiction treatment.
If you’re ready to ride the road to recovery, you must act now. Beating addiction will likely be the hardest thing you ever do, but we guarantee that choosing Lift Off Recovery will be the best decision you ever make.
Opioids are a class of drugs that includes both prescription pain medicines and illegal drugs such as heroin. While you might hear the words “opioids” and “opiates” used interchangeably, they are not the same. All opiates are opioids, but not all opioids are opiates. Opiates are naturally occurring in opium, including substances such as morphine and codeine.
Opioids that are not opiates are synthetically or semi-synthetically occurring. Heroin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone are all highly addictive semi-synthetic opioids.
Since opioids and opiates are metabolized in the same way, we use similar treatment models for all of our clients, whether they’re addicted to heroin or prescription codeine.
Prescription opioids are typically prescribed to those experiencing moderate to severe pain.
All opioids, whether prescribed or street, act on the opioid receptors in the brain to alter the user’s perception of pain.
This means the user feels fast-acting and long-lasting relief. On top of this calming effect, opioid abusers also experience dose-dependent sedation and euphoria.
Their short term effects include:
If you experience any of these short-term effects, you may want to seek help right away. Opioid treatment is available, and you deserve to access the care you need to feel better.
Opioid addiction can manifest without the user realizing they’ve entered the point of dependence.
Those who are deeply addicted are often in denial of their dependence. Because of this, if you suspect someone in your life is abusing opioids, it is crucial you keep an eye out for these behavioral changes:
The immediate effects of opiate use include pain relief, relaxations, feelings of euphoria, and sedation. However, these positive effects are short-lived as opioid tolerance builds.
Prolonged opioid abuse has serious side effects that increase in intensity as an abuser’s dose escalates.
These unwanted and debilitating effects include:
Statistics show that more than 23 million Americans live in long-term recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. If you are struggling with this deadly illness, don’t give up. Help is available.
Multiple factors dictate how long a person will experience the symptoms of withdrawal. Because of this, everyone experiences opioid withdrawal differently. However, there’s typically a timeline for the progression of symptoms.
Early symptoms typically begin in the first 24 hours after you stop using the drug, and they include:
As the first day ends, symptoms become more intense and demonstrate themselves through:
Opioid withdrawal can be unbearable, and often people will cave take more opioids to avoid the unpleasant symptoms.
When withdrawal strikes, medical treatment in a controlled environment will make the user more comfortable and lead to a greater chance of success.
At Lift Off Recovery, we know that recovery is an individual process. Every level of care we offer includes a personalized treatment plan.
Here are the treatment methods you can expect to see in your program.
In therapy, patients will discuss and process their experiences through the lens of recovery. Each patient is assigned a counselor based on their unique needs. We take great care to match our patients to trustworthy and knowledgeable counselors.
In these sessions, patients will dig deeper into the work done in group therapy. Individual therapy is crucial to long-lasting recovery.
Building a caring community and sober network is at the core of our Anaheim opioid rehab. Sobriety is challenging, and we want our clients to make lifelong friends who will inspire them and hold them accountable.
Our patients are encouraged to participate in our group therapy sessions. These sessions are led by qualified counselors and give patients the space to discuss various sobriety-related topics with others who also understand the struggles associated with recovery.
At our Anaheim outpatient treatment center, we treat co-occurring conditions. For many of our patients, addiction coincides with another mental health disorder. Our medication management services help patients to curb the desire to use hard drugs and regulate their mental state.
The decision to get sober is unique to every individual. Because of this, we offer multiple levels of care. However, before choosing a program, you should enroll in a medically assisted detox program to remove all drug toxins from your body.
After detox, most clients choose to enter our in-patient residential program. In the residential program, we aim to treat co-occurring disorders and give our clients the tools they need to overcome them.
Ideal candidates for opioid use disorder treatment should be motivated to adhere to a treatment plan and ready to invest in themselves.
