Opioid Detox
Opioids are perhaps the most dangerous drug to be addicted to. Opioid deaths account for the number one spot for drug-related deaths in America. Synthetic opioids are responsible for 82% of opioid-related overdose deaths. Coming off of it is risky to do on your own. This is why Path to Recovery offers comprehensive opioid detox in Pasadena, California.

Therapy for Opioid Treatment
After going through an opioid detox program, individuals can benefit from addiction therapy programs. Disorder therapy that can help those in recovery include group therapy and individual therapy.
Opioid Detox Program
Opioids are a family of drugs that interact with opioid receptors in the brain to produce powerful pain relief and euphoria. Examples of opioids include prescription medications such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine, fentanyl, and hydromorphone.
Opioid misuse can lead to addiction and other serious health problems, including overdose and death. Long-term use can also cause physical dependence, in which users have to take larger doses of opioids to get the same effects.
Next Steps After Opioid Detox
Medical detox options and withdrawal treatments vary greatly, depending on the individual’s situation. For some individuals, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is a good option. MAT involves taking medications such as methadone or buprenorphine to reduce opioid cravings while gradually tapering off opioids over time.
Other detoxification and withdrawal treatments include counseling, group therapy, nutritional guidance, and physical activity to help alleviate any withdrawal-related symptoms. In some cases, a physician may recommend inpatient hospitalization for more severe addictions or withdrawals which require closer supervision and medical care.
The best approach to treating opioid dependency and co-occurring disorders is a comprehensive treatment plan built around the individual. Contact Path to Recovery to learn more.
