The Constant Need for Opiate Rehab
With the growing concern revolving around opiates and prescription drugs containing opiates, there is a constant need for drug rehab and opiate rehab programs. Opiates are depressant drugs derived from the Chinese poppy plant. When introduced to the central nervous system, opiates slow down the responses of the brain. This slows down heart and respiratory functions. Overdoses on opiates often result from respiratory failure. Opiates also block the pain receptors of the brain. For this advantage, opiates are used for pain relief purposes. The narcotic make up of opiates also releases dopamine into the brain's system. This creates a sensation of euphoria. It is this euphoric sensation that can lead to increased use and abuse of opiate drugs.
In prescription drugs, the opiate ingredients that are found are codeine and morphine. Pharmaceutical companies have also developed synthetic opiates known as opioids. These are classed under hydrocodone and oxycodone. The celebrity of the opiate family of course is heroin. This is a brown powdered substance that is taken most commonly by snorting and injection. Heroin is always the most glamorized opiate in the media, however even the most basic of prescription drug addictions can be equally as damaging.
There is a growing concern revolving around prescription
drug abuse in America today. It is greatly increasing in individuals of all ages including this nation's youth. The growing concern is stemming from the accessibility of these drugs in society and the home. While government agencies are making the obtainment of these drugs more difficult, they are still readily available. Opiate addicts will resort to doctor shopping. This is a practice of using false names, identifications, and fabricated medical issues to obtain their drug of choice. In this aspect of obtaining drugs of choice, insurance companies are left to pay the bill. Some individuals will even go to greater extremes including falsifying prescriptions to get their drug of choice. Such practices are no way to live. Opiate rehab
treatment is readily available to eliminate this type of behavior.
Opiate Dependence and Withdrawal
Opiates are highly addictive. Even just the slightest of abusive behavior can escalate the
drug addiction problem out of control. Opiate addiction can lead to a physical dependence to the drug. In this case, the body can not function unless the influence of opiates is in the system. The addict will balance this with other opiates and even alcohol to maintain the influence. Prescription drug abusers will even graduate to heroin for the more intensified high. Physical dependence brings with it the aspect of withdrawal symptoms and problems. Withdrawal problems are what lead to continual abuse. The maintenance of the drug is needed to keep from getting sick. What is truly needed is to end the use of the addictive opiate to begin with.
Withdrawal symptoms from opiate dependence includes: Anxiety, restlessness, the shakes, nausea, vomiting, sleeplessness and heart palpitations. Depending on the level of addiction and the extended period of abuse, these symptoms can become quite severe. Most withdrawal symptoms for
opiate addiction peak in the first 2-4 days. Heroin is the exception. Heroin withdrawal cases can last one to two weeks before the withdrawal effects begin to subside. In difficult cases of withdrawal, substitute medications of lesser potency are used like methadone, Naltrexone, or Buprenorphine. These are a short term solution to quail addiction issues and extended use has led to equal addiction problems.
