Opioid Addiction Treatment

Research from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration estimates that 5.3 million people in the United States live with opioid use disorder. Fortunately, targeted opioid addiction treatment at experienced opioid treatment centers likeLuxe Treatment Centercan help you overcome your opioid addiction and achieve life-long recovery.

What Are Opioids?

The term “opioids” refers to an umbrella category of addictive drugs that act on the body’s opioid receptors. This category includes both prescription medications, such as OxyContin, Vicodin, codeine, and morphine, as well as illicit substances, such as heroin, fentanyl, and opium. What all these substances have in common is the way they affect the people who use them. One of the defining features of opioid addiction is an inability to stop or cut down opioid use on your own. Opioids activate receptors in the brain and body that can produce effects such as:
  • A feeling of euphoria and relaxation
  • Relief from severe pain
  • Slowed breathing and heart rate
These effects make opioids commonly misused substances. But the positive effects that opioids can cause come at a cost, as people can quickly transition from medical or recreational use to the development of opioid dependence and addiction.

Opioid Addiction

When a person develops an opioid use disorder, they begin to lose control over their opioid use. While at first, they may not recognize that their substance use is getting out of control, by the time a person misusing opioids attempts to cut down or quit, they can find that they are unable to do so on their own. This is because opioid addiction causes lasting brain changes that can have severe consequences. Areas of the brain that are associated with reward, decision-making, and willpower all experience structural changes as a result of substance abuse, making it extremely difficult to stop using opioids. Opioid addiction is not a choice. The effects of opioid dependence and addiction take the ability to stop out of the hands of the person living with an addiction.

Symptoms of Opioid Use Disorders

Opioid addiction has several other downstream effects as well. Substance use disorders can affect your physical health, your mental health, your occupation, and your relationships. Common symptoms of opioid addiction include:
  • Loss of interest in important hobbies or activities
  • Invasive and unwanted opioid cravings
  • Powerful physical withdrawal symptoms when opioid use suddenly stops
  • Growing tolerance, meaning more opioids need to be used to achieve the desired effect
  • Continued opioid use despite mounting consequences
All of these symptoms contribute to the challenge of overcoming opioid addiction. But there is hope; targeted treatment for opioid addiction at a professional substance use treatment center can help relieve these symptoms and start people on the road to recovery.

How an Opioid Addiction Treatment Center Can Help

Treatment for opioid addiction uses several evidence-based tools to help people overcome the challenges of addiction, find relief from the physical withdrawal symptoms of opioid use disorders, and build healthy and effective strategies to maintain their sobriety for years to come. AtLuxe Treatment Centerour opioid treatment programs offer several different treatment services to help people break through the difficult first stages of sobriety and build healthier lives for themselves in recovery.

Medical Detox

Medical detox is the first step of opioid addiction treatment. The mental and physical withdrawal symptoms of quitting opioid use can be incredibly severe and are often the first roadblock to recovery that people face. As a result of physical dependence on opioid drugs, people can experience withdrawal symptoms such as:
  • Shakes
  • Chills
  • Cravings
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Runny nose
  • Sneezing
Healthcare providers at our medical detox center can provide targeted withdrawal management services to help treat and minimize these symptoms, making the first step of recovery much easier. You can expect to receive services such as:
  • 24/7 medical monitoring
  • Accurate assessment and diagnosis
  • A safe and comfortable place to recover
  • Compassionate support to help in the early stage of recovery
With effective treatments and support, detox can make overcoming withdrawal symptoms much easier. Clearing your body of opioids can help clear your mind before you enter into opioid addiction treatment.

Residential Treatment

While detox is an important first step, it must be followed by evidence-based addiction treatment in order to provide long-term results. At our residential treatment centerpeople struggling with opioid use disorder can receive intensive and effective therapies and learn the skills of recovery in a safe and controlled environment. Clients at a residential treatment center live on-site during treatment. This allows them to focus their entire energy on the work of recovery and spend their time with other people working toward overcoming substance use disorders. The treatments and therapies offered at Luxe Treatment Center’s residential treatment program include:
  • Humanistic therapies
  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy
  • Motivational interviewing
  • Group therapy
  • Mindfulness therapies
  • Recreational therapies
  • Relapse prevention programs
These therapies are evidence-based in helping people overcome substance use disorder, and they have decades of research proving their effectiveness in opioid addiction treatment.

Outpatient Treatment

For those who are stepping down from residential treatment or who would prefer not to live on-site while receiving addiction care, ouroutpatient treatment programoffers all the same services as our residential program in a more relaxed format. During outpatient treatment, clients live at home or in supportive recovery housing and attend their treatment facility several days a week for therapy and treatment. Outpatient treatment is a less intensive program, offering more flexibility to people with competing responsibilities and obligations. But while outpatient treatment may require less time, it is still an effective and helpful method of overcoming opioid addiction.
