Opioids are a class of drugs that are used to treat pain. There are many different types of opioids, but all have the potential to be addicting. Anyone who abuses opioids or uses them for longer than prescribed is at risk of becoming addicted.

Sadly, the United States is in the midst of an ongoing opioid crisis. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that more than 56,000 people died from opioid-related overdose in 2020.

Opioids are so addictive that 21-29% of people who are prescribed opioids for chronic pain abuse them, and between 8-12% develop an opioid use disorder.

If you or a loved one are addicted to opioids of any kind, you should understand just how devastating these substances can be. They can affect your personal relationships, career, mental health, and physical health. Without professional detox and treatment services, opioid addiction can be deadly.

Signs and Symptoms of Opioid Addiction

Opioids come in many different shapes and sizes. Some are synthetic opioids–or manmade ones–and others are naturally-occurring opioids that are derived from the seed pod of the opium poppy plant. Some opioids are used to treat pain and can be prescribed by a doctor, such as hydrocodone, oxycodone, and morphine, while others are completely illegal and can only be obtained on the streets–such as heroin.

Some of the most commonly abused opioids include:

  • Hydrocodone (Vicodin, Norco, Lorcet)
  • Oxycodone (Percocet, Percodan, OxyContin)
  • Morphine (MS Contin, Arymo)
  • Meperidine (Demerol)
  • Codeine
  • Methadone
  • Heroin
  • Fentanyl

Regardless of which type of opioid you are abusing, the signs of addiction are the same. Knowing how to spot the signs of opioid addiction can help you know when it’s time to get help.

Signs of opioid addiction include:

  • Tolerance–needed to increase the frequency of use or dose to feel the same effects
  • Dependence–experiencing physical and psychological symptoms of withdrawal when you stop using the drug
  • Cravings–urges or desires to use opioid drugs
  • Isolating from loved ones due to drug use
  • Continuing to use opioids even if it is contributing to a mental or physical health condition
  • Loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyed
  • Neglecting responsibilities, self-care, or hygiene as a result of opioid abuse
  • One or more failed attempts to quit

If you or a loved one are struggling with opioid addiction, know that help is available. Our boutique-style opiate detox and personalized treatment plans can provide you with the transformative care you deserve.

Long-Term Dangers of Opioid Abuse

Without a personalized recovery program, opioid abuse and addiction can result in a wide variety of adverse health complications, such as:

  • Chronic constipation
  • Depression
  • Weak immune system
  • Impotence in men
  • Menstrual problems in women
  • Memory problems
  • Heart disease
  • Kidney disease
  • Increased risk of HIV and Hepatitis C
  • Collapsed veins
  • Skin infections
  • Gastrointestinal issues

The good news is many of these risks can be reduced if you seek proper treatment and stop using all opioids.

Opiod Addiction Treatment Options

Opioid addiction treatment requires professional medical and psychiatric services. The specific treatments you receive must be tailored to your specific needs for them to be effective.

Here at Flourishing Foundations Recovery, we use a small client-to-staff ratio so you get the comprehensive, compassionate care you deserve. We also diagnose and treat underlying mental health conditions to further help you stay sober.

Opioid treatment begins with medically-supervised opiate detox. Medical detox helps stabilize your mind and body so you can get past the flu-like withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid abuse and prepare yourself for the rest of your recovery journey.

After opiate detox, you can transition to one of our San Antonio outpatient rehab programs where you can participate in individually-tailored therapies that meet your unique needs. Treatment options include

  • Partial hospitalization program (PHP)
  • Intensive outpatient program (IOP)
  • Outpatient program (OP)

Our opioid rehab center has a primary focus on mental health and trauma recovery, so we not only help you stop using opioids, but we help you address the root cause of your addiction so you can stay stopped for good.

Opiate Detox that Works with Your Busy Lifestyle

We know that taking time away from work, family, and daily responsibilities can be difficult. That’s why we offer flexible outpatient treatment options that allow you to continue carrying out your responsibilities at home and work while receiving the care you need. Through our opiate detox program, we provide a safe and supportive environment for you to manage withdrawal symptoms and address any underlying mental health issues. Our experienced team of medical professionals will monitor your progress and provide necessary medications to ease discomfort during this process. At Flourishing Foundations Recovery, we believe in treating the whole person rather than just the addiction. That’s why we also offer various therapies such as individual counseling, group therapy, trauma-focused therapy, and holistic treatments like yoga and mindfulness practices.
