Opiate Addiction Treatment Program
Opiates have a long history of being used to treat pain. Opiates are derived from opium which is extracted from the poppy plant.
Opiate addiction is becoming a very rapid and growing problem in the United States. If you ever been prescribed any of the following medication, then you have had experience with opiates:
-
Fentanyl
-
Oxycodone
-
Morphine
-
Vicodin
-
Codeine
This group of drugs is killing people every day. Overdose, from an opiate alone as well as combining opiates with other substances, is often fatal. Beyond that immediate risk, an opiate user runs the long-term risk of addiction and withdrawal as well as the medical, social, legal, and financial complications that come with them.
When prescriptions opiates are used correctly, for the treatment of pain, they work wonders. However, tolerance to opiates builds quickly and the need to take more can quickly take over, necessitating the need for opiate treatment centers like His House.
