Of course, before seeking opioid addiction treatment, you must recognize and acknowledge that you have a substance abuse problem. Call Profound Treatment to begin your addiction treatment recovery journey today.

What Are Opiates and Opioids?

An opiate is any drug that is extracted naturally from the poppy plant. The opiate class of drugs typically includes morphine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, and fentanyl. Of the 259 million prescriptions written for opiate drugs such as these annually, about two million people become dependent or develop an opioid addiction.

Unfortunately, many of these individuals do not seek addiction treatment due to a variety of barriers, like addiction stigma. Not reaching out for support for drug addiction is detrimental to your health and well-being. Moreover, due to the high risk of overdose, opioid addiction has resulted in the loss of countless lives.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) defines opioids as “a class of drugs that include synthetic opioids such as fentanyl; pain relievers available legally by prescription, such as oxycodone (OxyContin®), hydrocodone (Vicodin®), codeine, morphine; the illegal drug heroin; and many others.” Using opioids significantly contributes to the opioid addiction epidemic, which is why prevention and education are critical for treatment, addiction recovery, and relapse prevention.

What Are the Differences Between Opiates and Opioids?

So, what is the difference between opiate and opioid drugs? The words opiate and opioid are sometimes used interchangeably. However, opiates refer to natural substances obtained from the poppy plant. While opioids may be natural, they are often created synthetically in a lab.

The Impact of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) in California

Unfortunately, OUD has had a profound impact on California. In 2017 alone, there were over 2,000 overdose deaths involving opioids in California. That equates to about 5.3 deaths per 100,000 persons. Of these, the main driver was prescription opioids, coming in around 1,169 deaths in 2017.

In addition to the loss of life, the opioid crisis has had an economic impact on the state of California. Despite the prevalence of opioid addiction, loss of life, and economic impact, the cycle of harm can be stopped with effective addiction treatment programs. Through prevention services, education, and addiction treatment, the impact of opioid addiction in Southern California and across the country can be reduced. However, before substance abuse treatment can be possible, you must recognize the signs and symptoms of opioid addiction.

Signs and Symptoms of Opioid Addiction

The signs of opiate and opioid addiction can consist of emotional, behavioral, and physical health indicators. Some of the signs and symptoms of opioids to be mindful of include:

  • Fatigue
  • Mood swings
  • Shallow and slow breathing
  • Physical agitation
  • Cognitive impairments
  • Reduced decision-making skills
  • Abandonment of professional and personal obligations
  • Problems in your relationships
  • Reckless and erratic behaviors
  • Lying or stealing to continue substance abuse

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of opioid addiction showcases the impact opioids can have on your mental and physical health. The physical health and mental health symptoms of opioid addiction further highlight the intersecting relationship between substance abuse, like drug addiction and alcohol addiction, with mental health disorders.

Opiate Addiction and Co-Occurring Disorders

Another key indicator of opioid addiction is the development of co-occurring mental health disorders. Many forms of substance use disorders have co-occurrence with a mental health disorder. For example, alcohol addiction commonly co-occurs with mental health disorders like depression and anxiety. Similarly, substance use disorders like drug addiction commonly co-occur with depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. For opioid addiction, some of the other mental health disorders that co-occur include:

  • Depressive disorders
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Personality disorders
  • Schizophrenia
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

The relationship between substance abuse and mental health disorders is complex because they share a bidirectional relationship. Alcohol addiction and drug addiction can contribute to the development of mental health disorders or exacerbate pre-existing mental health symptoms. Moreover, unaddressed mental health disorders can also contribute to the development of substance use disorder.

Access to addiction treatment programs and mental health treatment is invaluable to whole-person recovery. With access to co-occurring treatment like dual diagnosis treatment, you or your loved one can address those interconnected challenges.

Dual diagnosis treatment for drug and alcohol rehab programs and mental health treatment supports treating your unique needs for wellness. In addition to comprehensive, evidence-based drug rehab and mental health treatment, early detection is vital to sustaining your recovery journey. Through early detection, we can help you or your loved one prevent relapse and support better mental and physical health outcomes. If you recognize any of these symptoms within yourself or a loved one, we encourage you to seek behavioral health treatment in our addiction treatment center.

Opioid Withdrawal Symptoms and Detox: The First Step to Sobriety

The first step toward seeking treatment from a recovery center is recognizing and acknowledging the problem. However, before your behavioral health treatment can begin, you must go through drug detoxification.

Unfortunately, opiate or opioid withdrawal can be painful and uncomfortable. In some cases, the withdrawal symptoms for opioid addiction, like seizures, can be dangerous. Therefore, seeking detox support for drug rehab from a compassionate team of care professionals is important for your safety. Further, medically supervised detox with medication-assisted treatment in a safe environment also supports a smooth transition from detox to inpatient or outpatient treatment.

With personalized treatment in our rehab center, Profound Treatment provides detoxification services that help your body adjust as you go through drug withdrawal symptoms. Some of the physical and emotional drug withdrawal symptoms you may experience in detox include:

  • Sweating
  • Nausea
  • Headaches
  • Anxiety
  • Stress
  • Cravings

For many, fear, shame, and guilt often convince them that they should do detox alone or that they are not deserving of support on their recovery journey. We are here to remind you that you are deserving of care and support in detox, treatment, and recovery. Addiction and the pains of perceived or experienced stigma contribute to avoidance behaviors and self-isolation. However, avoidance and self-isolation have only driven you or your loved one further into addiction and despair.

Humans naturally desire and seek out connection and a sense of belonging with others. We thrive on connection, so seeking support from professionals and loved ones can be vital to your treatment and recovery journey. Thus, at Profound Treatment, we are committed to providing comprehensive, holistic treatment options to support you across every stage of treatment and recovery.

Why Medical Detox Is Critical for a Safe Recovery

Medical detox is critical for a safe recovery because it helps prepare the body for the rest of drug rehab. At Profound Treatment, we help clients through the stages of drug withdrawal symptoms by providing 24/7 onsite medical supervision and comprehensive care.

Medication-Assisted Treatment for Opioid Addiction

Another reason to choose drug detoxification at Profound Treatment is our medication-assisted treatment (MAT) services. MAT involves treating opiate or opioid addiction with medications that help manage the withdrawal symptoms. Medication-assisted treatment can be extremely effective for detox, abstinence, and the transition to the next level of care, such as inpatient treatment or outpatient treatment. Some of the ways medication-assisted treatment supports detox and treatment include:

  • Managing cravings
  • Reducing symptoms
  • Helping clients focus on recovery

MAT in detox offers a comprehensive approach that goes beyond abstaining from consuming substances or treating withdrawal symptoms. Medication-assisted treatment in our detox drug rehab center gives you the starting tools for a stable foundation to start your treatment and recovery journey.

Combining Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Evidence-based addiction treatment and dual diagnosis treatment typically include therapies, such as individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy. Psychotherapy can be broken down into specific treatment approaches or forms of therapy. Some of the most common and effective evidence-based therapies we implement in treatment are cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

Not only can CBT and DBT be used individually at different levels of care, but some people may not know that they can be used together. The combination of CBT and DBT can be a powerful treatment tool, providing:

  • Comprehensive and tailored treatment
  • Increased self-awareness
  • Lasting recovery changes
  • Healthy coping tools for complex emotions
  • Relapse prevention strategies

CBT and DBT can have a significant impact on your well-being. Both evidence-based therapies offer the space and educational tools to address the underlying mental and emotional challenges of addiction for lasting addiction recovery.
