How Opioids Affect the Brain and Body

Opioid drugs work by binding to proteins known as opioid receptors, which are attached to cells that send and block pain signals in the nervous system for pain relief. These opioid receptors also release large amounts of dopamine to produce euphoria and sedation. 

Oxycodone, hydrocodone, and codeine were originally developed to help with pain management, but the euphoric effects of opioids like these prescription pain relievers reinforce opioid use. Repeated use of opioids or taking higher doses can lead to tolerance, dependence, opioid addiction, and increased risk of opioid overdose.

Understanding the Risk Factors for Opioid Addiction

Prescription opioids have a high risk for opioid use disorder (OUD) from risk factors, such as chronic pain issues, long-term use, and taking higher doses. 

Some other addiction risk factors include:
  • Genetic: family history of substance abuse and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)
  • Behavioral and mental health: prior substance abuse, risk-taking behavior, depression, anxiety, and trauma
  • Environmental and socioeconomic: exposure to drug use and living in a stressful or high-risk environment

These risk factors highlight how critical residential detox is for stabilization and long-term recovery.

The Risk of Opioid Overdose and Why Detox Matters

Opioid addiction has higher rates of overdose and overdose deaths because of potency and commonly being mixed with benzodiazepines. These risk factors can lead to life-threatening sedation and respiratory depression. 

Synthetic opioids like fentanyl are involved in around 76% of drug overdose deaths. Potency and the rapid onset of fentanyl can cause slow or difficult breathing and respiratory failure in minutes. Overdose prevention strategies like naloxone to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose are crucial for saving lives.

Expert Care in a Healing Environment

Our experienced clinical team combines compassionate support with proven therapies to help you regain balance, clarity, and stability.

Key Benefits of Our Medically Supervised Opioid Detox

Some of the specialized care you can find in our residential medical detox program include:

  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
  • Integrated dual diagnosis treatment
  • Trauma-informed therapy
  • Evidence-based and holistic healing modalities

Stabilizing Withdrawal Symptoms Safely

Opioid withdrawal can have mild to severe withdrawal symptoms like muscle and bone pain, nausea, and cravings. The quick onset of these symptoms makes handling opioid withdrawal alone painful and short-lived. Access to 24/7 medical supervision from health professionals, MAT, and psychological care in our residential detox ensures you can safely and comfortably stabilize, manage symptoms, and smoothly transition into long-term treatment.

Medication-Assisted Treatment Options

Profound is committed and equipped to provide a detox program that understands the critical importance of MAT for opioid addiction and overdose prevention. MAT gives you access to FDA-approved addiction medication such as buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone to reduce and manage cravings, alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms, and taper off opioids.

Trauma-Informed and Whole-Person Care

Profound specializes in trauma-informed care, such as trauma therapy and somatic experiencing therapy, to get to the root of substance abuse for faster symptom reduction and relapse prevention. Trauma therapy helps safely identify and process underlying traumatic experiences that contribute to drug use. Somatic experiencing therapy also helps explore trauma as a root cause of substance abuse. The body-focused nature of somatic experiencing helps unlock hidden or stuck trauma with body techniques like grounding and body scan.

Creative and Experiential Healing Modalities

Some of the creative and experiential healing modalities we offer include art and music therapy, and experiential/adventure therapy. Art and music therapy help clients explore and process difficult emotions and trauma through hands-on activities such as drawing and songwriting. These hands-on activities support creative self-expression for self-awareness, stress relief, and emotional regulation.

Experiential/adventure therapy fosters self-efficacy and emotional healing in detox through outdoor activities. Participating in outdoor activities like hiking and gardening helps clients build life skills, such as problem-solving, goal setting, and healthier coping strategies.

What Daily Life Looks Like in Residential Opioid Detox

Each day begins with morning meditation, a nourishing breakfast, and clinical programs like behavioral therapy. Following a nutritious lunch, afternoons focus on educational groups for daily coursework and experiential activities like yoga, hiking, and acupuncture for physical wellness. Evenings include another freshly prepared meal and opportunities to attend group therapy and other support group meetings to strengthen the peer support network. Then clients turn in for the evening at the same time each day to rest and to ensure a structured routine for stability, consistency, and connection.

Medical Check-Ins and Recovery Groups

Wellness check-ins can include monitoring physical health, mental health assessments, reviewing medication management, and evaluating recovery progress. We also provide fresh, nutritious chef-prepared meal plans as a vital part of recovery for physical and mental health, energy, and reduced cravings. You’ll also participate in tailored recovery groups that educate you on opioid addiction and opioid receptors, coping strategies, and recovery skills. 

Therapy and Skill-Building Sessions

Individual therapy ensures you have direct support from a trained health care provider to address the root causes of opioid addiction and develop coping strategies for long-term sobriety. Group therapy helps peers learn from each other through shared experiences and challenges, fosters accountability, and builds strong social support networks. Additionally, our experiential activities provide a safe and distraction-free space for self-expression and healthy emotional processing.

Reflection and Peer
Support

Regular recovery meetings take place every Tuesday, and sober community discussions and events occur monthly. We also offer serene spaces, such as lush gardens and walking trails, to give clients the quiet time they need to reflect on and process their thoughts and feelings.

Wellness and Personal Growth Activities

We provide additional therapies, relaxation activities, and recovery workshops for whole-person and continuing care:
  • CBT, DBT, family therapy, and psychodynamic therapy
  • Meditation and yoga
  • Relapse prevention groups

Opioid and Substance Use Disorders We Treat

Whether you are struggling with heroin, fentanyl, codeine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, or other opiate class drugs, we can help you. Through a wide range of support services like MAT, dual diagnosis, and CBT, we can help you address opioid addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions.

Prescription Opioid Addiction

Some common medications for prescription opioid addiction include hydrocodone, oxycodone, oxymorphone, fentanyl, codeine, and morphine. 

Fentanyl and Synthetic Opioid Addiction

Synthetic opioid drugs like fentanyl are at the center of the opioid crisis because they’re fast-acting drugs that are 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine. The effects of fentanyl can quickly lead to life-threatening respiratory depression and an opioid overdose with only a small amount of the substance. Moreover, the euphoric effects of opioids reinforce dependence and addiction, and quickly increase tolerance, which can lead to taking higher doses to achieve the same effect.

Opiate and Polysubstance Addiction

Polysubstance addiction is the leading cause of overdose deaths involving opiate drugs. Depressants like benzodiazepines are often abused concurrently to alleviate opioid withdrawal, to self-medicate co-occurring conditions, and enhance or counteract the sedative effects of opioids. 

Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders

We’ve built an integrated dual diagnosis treatment program to address addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. Some of the mental health disorders we treat alongside opioid addiction include depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Signs It May Be Time to Seek Help for Opioid Addiction

The opioid epidemic has created a public health crisis that has stifled and harmed countless lives. But we understand that it’s not always easy to recognize when you’re struggling or when it’s time to seek help.

Possible signs that you may need detox include:
  • Increasing tolerance or needing higher doses of opioids
  • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when stopping drug use
  • Frequent cravings or inability to stop using opioids
  • Risk of drug overdose or opioid overdose
  • Mixing opioids with substances like benzodiazepines
  • Repeated relapse despite attempts to quit
Although reaching out is hard, early intervention is invaluable for long-term sobriety, reducing health harm, preserving your relationships, and improving your quality of life.
