Opiate Addiction

Opiates are a class of drugs that produce a euphoric feeling and provide pain relief. This class of drugs has a high potential for abuse and addiction. At Pavillon, substance abuse disorders such as opiate addiction are addressed with treatment programs focused on individual needs. Based on the 12-steps, these programs can help address the underlying causes of addiction so patients can find the path to recovery.

Symptoms of Opiate Abuse and Addiction

Opiate abuse and addiction can have serious effects on many aspects of an individual's life. With prolonged use of opiate drugs, individuals can develop a physical or emotional dependence on the substance. As the individual develops a tolerance to the drug, larger doses are needed to achieve the desired effect, and withdrawal symptoms are experienced without the drug.

Treatment for Opiate Addiction

For the majority of patients, the first step in treatment for substance abuse disorders such as opiate addiction is detoxification.  This medically supervised process safely removes the drug from the patient's system. Then, an individualized treatment plan can be developed to meet the patient's unique physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Our comprehensive treatment programs provide integrated care for co-occurring disorders and include individual and group counseling, educational components, family sessions, continuing care, and more.
