Opioid Addiction Treatment
The misuse and abuse of prescription drugs opioids is causing alarming rates in opioid overdoses in the past decade.
Opioids are a class of drugs found in opium poppies. Generally, they have been used as painkillers, but they also have great potential for misuse. Continual use of these drugs can potentially lead to the risk of developing an opioid use disorder. Illegal opiate drugs such as heroin and pain relievers such as oxycodone and hydrocodone can have serious negative health effects.
Heroin
Heroin is considered a powerful opiate drug. Heroin can appear to be white or brownish powder, or as the black sticky substance. It is diluted with other drugs or as in alternative with sugar, starch, powdered milk, or quinine before injecting, smoking, or snorting.
Some symptoms of heroin are euphoria, drowsiness, respiratory depression, constricted pupils, nausea, and dry mouth.
Symptoms of a heroin overdose can be slow and shallow breathing, blue lips and fingernails, clammy skin, convulsions, coma, and can be fatal.
Typically, people who inject heroin report abuse of prescription opioids as a gateway drug to starting to use heroin. Additionally, this leads to increasing the risk of overdose; the intravenous use of heroin puts individuals at higher risk of incurable diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis C.
Treatments:
Individual and Group Counseling
Individual and group counseling settings can provide a variety of treatments to be used to help behavioral health problems. Counseling along with psychotherapies seeks to modify behaviors, thoughts, emotions, and how people see and recognize situations. This therapy is provided by trained clinicians such as psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
This is where clinicians who use this approach provide Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This assists individuals in treatment pursue their own solutions to problems by analyzing behaviors, thoughts, and feelings with regimented goal-oriented strategies.
Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)
Another possibility, which could be beneficial in addition to counseling is Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET).
MET is motivational psychology and designed to create prompt, internal motivated change. Instead of leading patients through recovery, we strive to encourage the patient’s own inspiration to reach their goal.
Medication
Historically medication has shown it can be most effective when used in combination with counseling or psychotherapy. There are many mental health problems, and just as many more medications to help treat them. The medications range from mood stabilizers, antipsychotic medications, anti-depressants, medication for attention, and anti-anxiety medications.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Another practice helpful with treatment for substance abuse, is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT).
This method is the use of medications, and therapy as a total process to the treatment of substance abuse. Medications can assist with reduction of the cravings and other symptoms of withdrawal from a substance. Medications can also stop the neurological paths that produce the satisfying feeling produced by a substance, or prompt undesirable feelings when a substance is taken.

We provide medication treatment as well supportive therapy services to our clients where the combination increases the success rate of the treatment as well as in preventing a relapse.

Alcohol
Research has been shown that excessive alcohol use, including underage drinking and binge drinking (drinking 5 or more drinks on a single occasion for men or 4 or more drinks on an occasion for women), can increase a person’s risk of developing serious health problems, including brain and liver damage, heart disease, hypertension, and fetal damage in pregnant women. Research also suggests that Alcoholism commonly occurs along with other mental health disorders.
