Understanding Opioid Usage and Opioid Treatment Programs
What are opioids?
Opioids are pain killing drugs that have the side effect of greatly increasing the body’s pleasure. Once the intense pleasure has passed it leaves the body craving more and if not controlled, this can easily lead to addiction. For thousands of years, opioids have been recognized for their ability to reduce pain, and as such, they are widely used in the medical field. Opioids are often prescribed for chronic conditions, post-operative patients, and for accident victims suffering from serious pain.
What is Opioid Abuse?
Besides legal forms of opioids which include codeine, morphine, oxycontin, and fentanyl, there are opioids that have very little use medically and are used mainly to get high, such as heroin. Even the prescribed forms of opioids often lead to addiction. As opioids are used regularly, the body builds a strong tolerance to their effects and a user begins to crave desperately for the joy and high they produce. Although many users begin to use opioids through the instruction of their doctor, over time opioid users can become dependent on them. Patients may begin to misuse them for self-medication or just to experience the feelings of pleasure it makes them feel. Both can turn their opioid usage into a full-blown addiction. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse more than 90 Americans die by opioid overdose every day.
According to WebMD [1], opioid addiction is a chronic medical condition and prolonged opioid use eventually makes a person feel that there is no way to get through the day without help from the substance.
How to Tell if You or A Loved One are Addicted to Opioids
The road of addiction can be long and painful. It can be difficult to know if you or a loved one are really addicted and need the help of an opioid treatment program.
According to Mayo Clinic, Common signs of opioid addiction include [2]:
- Taking opioids frequently in a manner not intended by the doctor prescribing it. This includes taking more than the prescribed dose or taking the drug for the euphoric high it makes a person feel
- Mood changes, including tremendous waves from elation to hostility
- Taking opioids "just in case," even when not needed for pain
- Irregularities in sleep patterns
- Requesting the same prescription from multiple doctors, in order to have a "backup" supply
- Losing Medications or borrowing medications from other people so that more prescriptions can be written
- Poor decision-making, including putting oneself and others in danger
Fortunately, there is help. Through specialized opioid rehab centers, addicts can look forward to a full and liberating recovery.

Why Choose Opioid Treatment Programs at Avenues Recovery Center?
Getting Opioid Addiction Rehab at Avenues Recovery Center
Opioid Addiction: A chronic disease that needs treatment.
Opioid addictions are recognized as a chronic disease. If symptoms are ignored and left untreated there is little to no chance that anyone suffering will ever recover. Since extended opioid use leads to medical conditions that are life threatening, such as heart and kidney failure, strokes and heavy liver damage among many other serious illnesses, ignoring opioid use disorder commonly ends with conditions that cannot be reversed, including possible death.
The Cost of Opioid Abuse
In addition, the social and financial costs of opioid abuse can be devastating. Careers are lost, families are destroyed, and financial responsibilities are impossible to fill. When a person suffering from opioid addiction has no money to get the drugs they need, they can resort to breaking laws and end up in the vicious cycle of the prison system.
There is nothing more important for an opioid user than to seek competent and professional addiction treatment at a provider with integrity and professionalism. The cost of opioid rehab pales in comparison to the cost of opioid abuse.
