Understanding Opioid Addiction

Opioids are commonly available medications obtained via prescription. These include morphine, OxyContin, Vicodin, Hydrocodone, and other drugs prescribed for pain management. Unfortunately, these medications are often misused and can be highly addictive, even when they are initially prescribed for valid medical reasons. When used over an extended period, opioids can lead to dependence, and an opioid addiction can quickly overtake an individual’s daily life.

Causes of Opioid Addiction

There are many opioid addiction risk factors, including stress, trauma, mental health disorders, chronic pain, and a family history of substance abuse. Many people who eventually seek opioid addiction treatment were initially prescribed these drugs by a physician to ease pain after an injury, surgery, or other medical event. Over time, individuals will begin to crave the sense of euphoria created by opioid drugs, and they will begin to misuse them. This leads to an increase in tolerance along with a physical dependence on these drugs, causing overuse and addiction.

The Importance of Compassionate Care

It is not uncommon for individuals struggling with opioid abuse to face judgment and criticism. However, it is essential for those with substance abuse issues to be met with compassion to fully heal. Buckeye Clinic is an experienced opioid addiction treatment center that empowers our clients with a variety of resources, tools, education, and most importantly compassionate care and support.

Steps for Opioid Recovery

Opioid addiction treatment is a complex process that requires several steps for the safe and complete recovery of each client. Here is a closer look at what’s involved:

Medical Detox – Opioid addiction withdrawal symptoms can be intense and overwhelming. Having a supported, medically supervised medical detox ensures a safe and effective withdrawal from opioid usage.
Medication-Assisted Treatment – Even post-withdrawal, opioid cravings can be frequent and difficult to manage. Medications like buprenorphine and naloxone can reduce cravings to facilitate a more successful recovery.
Therapy and Intervention – Mental health issues and past traumas can complicate addiction treatment. Failing to address these issues can lead to relapses in the future. Independent and group therapies help reverse addictive behaviors and actions while addressing underlying mental health conditions.
Support Services – Family support is highly beneficial for opioid addiction treatment programs, which is why family therapy and support groups are offered by our clinic.
Outpatient Opioid Treatment Program – Through our outpatient program, our clients can get the specialized treatment and support they need while still taking part in their daily lives.
Intensive Outpatient Program – For those who need additional support and structure in their addiction recovery, our intensive outpatient program offers more advanced and frequent treatments, including weekly therapy sessions and opioid addiction medications.
