What is an Opioid Drug and Opiate Addiction?

Opioid drugs, or opiates, are often prescribed by doctors to help people manage severe pain. But these drugs are also often over-used and misused, leading to opioid addiction.

Types of opioid drugs include:

  • codeine
  • fentanyl
  • morphine
  • oxycodone
  • hydromorphone
  • heroin

Opioids are highly addictive and dangerous drugs. Overdoses are common when people take too much of an opioid and it slows down their breathing, leading to unconsciousness and even death.

Opioid use changes your brain and the body in ways that can make it hard to stop using. This is because your body gets used to a regular supply of the drug. If you stop using the opioid, or lower your dose quickly, you will likely experience withdrawal symptoms.

At Renascent, we offer an opioid addiction treatment program that addresses your complete individual needs, supporting you through the detox process and giving you tools for lasting healing and recovery.

There are opioid dependence treatment options available to you. Our team of registered psychotherapists and certified drug addiction specialists will help tailor a treatment program just for you.

We’ve helped more than 50,000 people recover from substance addictions and we can help you too.
