Substance & Opioid Abuse Treatment Q & A
What is Opioid Addiction?
Understanding that you may need help to manage an addiction to opioids or painkillers is the first step in substance abuse treatment. Personalized outpatient substance abuse treatment may be beneficial if you answer yes to any of the following questions:
- Do you take pain medicine that has not been prescribed to you, including oxycodone, codeine, or morphine?
- Do you take more than your prescribed dose of opioids or painkillers?
- Do you take painkillers or opioids on a daily basis?
- Do you combine prescription opioids with another substance, such as alcohol?
- Has your opioid use caused adverse health problems, such as constipation, nausea, or vomiting, or gastrointestinal dysfunction?
If you are suffering from opioid or narcotics abuse and are seeking substance abuse treatment, you are not alone. Countless Americans misuse or overuse pain medication each year.
