Opioids like fentanyl were originally developed as surgical and post-surgical anesthetics to prevent patients from panicking and damaging their breathing tubes. However, these powerful drugs can alter brain chemistry over time, making it increasingly difficult to experience pleasure without them. While opioids are highly effective at blocking pain, they can also severely impair daily functionality.

At Carmel Treatment Center, we encourage you to explore our opioid substance use disorder treatment center in Los Angeles, CA, to begin the drug rehabilitation process. Contact us today to learn more about our drug rehab and substance use disorder treatment programs and take the first step toward recovery.

WHEN TO RECOGNIZE THE NEED FOR OPIOID ADDICTION TREATMENT IN CA

Some individuals take opioids through a prescription written for chronic or acute pain, such as after surgery or illness. However, due to their highly addictive nature, it’s often crucial to stop using these drugs as soon as possible to prevent dependence. Others may use opiates like heroin recreationally to achieve a high. Regardless of the reason for use, formal opioid addiction treatment may be necessary if you experience symptoms such as:

  • Running out of a prescription early due to taking more pills than prescribed
  • Using a prescription that wasn’t written for you, sometimes even stealing to obtain the drugs
  • Feeling uneasy, agitated, or anxious when not using the drugs
  • Experiencing intense pain that doesn’t match the injury or illness, especially after healing
  • Being unable to stop using opioids, even if you want to

Many individuals with opioid substance use disorder also go through withdrawal, which can include feelings of agitation, pain, and anxiety when not using the drug. Insomnia, feelings of illness, and intense cravings for the drug are also common withdrawal symptoms.

If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, seeking professional help at an opioid addiction treatment center like Carmel Treatment Center can be a critical step toward recovery.

AN OPIOID SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TREATMENT PROGRAM CREATES A PATH FORWARD

The hard part about opioid dependence is that it can be nearly impossible to stop using. Even if you want to, your body and brain make it impossible to stop using. But, it’s possible to break that type of control the drug has on you in a treatment program. 

Often, this is done using medication. Medication-assisted treatment enables your doctors to provide medication to ease the withdrawal symptoms you are experiencing. This helps to make it easier to stop using and may prevent early relapse. Medications work to make it a bit easier to stop.

Treatment for opioid dependence also often focuses on improving the damage done by these drugs. This includes damage to relationships, self-esteem, physical and mental health, and futures. This is done through access to a range of therapies. These therapies are important because they teach you how to spot triggers and avoid them. They also allow you to build up confidence. 

At Vine Recovery Center in Los Angeles, CA, we offer a range of therapies to enable this. Some of them include:

  • Medication-assisted treatment
  • Mindfulness stress reduction
  • Motivational interviewing therapy
  • Family therapy programs 
  • Individual therapy programs
  • Group therapy programs
