Opioid Addiction Treatment

Twilight Recovery facility
In 2019, opioids were responsible for 80% of the 600,000 drug-related deaths worldwide, with a significant portion due to overdose. Despite effective treatments like buprenorphine and naltrexone that reduce overdose risk, under 10% of those in need receive them.

Opioid addiction is a chronic disease that requires a comprehensive approach, including medication-assisted treatment and support services. Our treatment strategy addresses the complex nature of addiction, focusing on reducing cravings, managing withdrawal symptoms, and supporting long-term recovery for people with opioid use addiction.

What Are Opioids?

Opioids, also known as opioid medications or opioid pain relievers, are a class of drugs commonly used to treat moderate to severe pain. These substances work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, reducing the perception of pain.

While opioids are effective medicines for pain management, their use is associated with addiction, making the treatment of opiate addiction an important part of healthcare. The risk of addiction, closely associated with opioid use, highlights the need for careful management and monitoring over time in treatment. 

The use of opioid medications carries the potential for individuals struggling with addiction to develop a dependence, underscoring the importance of comprehensive treatment as well.

Our Opioid Addiction Treatment Options

We are committed to providing a comprehensive treatment approach that addresses not just the physical aspects of opioid addiction but the emotional, psychological, and social factors as well. We understand that the journey to recovery is multifaceted, so our therapies are designed to treat the whole person.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

This approach to treating an opioid addiction engages you in finding personal motivations to change your behavior and assists in resolving ambivalence toward recovery.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Commonly used to treat opioid use disorders, CBT aids in identifying triggers for drug use, builds your confidence in your ability to solve problems, and teaches effective coping strategies for challenges that may lead to substance use.

Counseling and Behavioral Therapies

Counseling with a qualified health professional is essential for addressing the personal and social problems that may contribute to addiction. It focuses on your feelings of self-worth, problems at work or home, and the people around you who use drugs or alcohol. Our treatments for opioid addiction include counseling and behavioral therapies to aid in recovery.

12-Step Programs and Support Groups

Offer structured goals and a community of individuals who have faced similar challenges. Participation in these groups provides invaluable support, wisdom, and encouragement from peers who understand the recovery journey.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

MAT combines pharmacological interventions with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. This approach has proven to be effective in the treatment of opioid dependence. By using medications such as buprenorphine and methadone, we can reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier for patients to focus on recovery.

Our integrated approach ensures that all aspects of opioid addiction are addressed, from the physical dependency to the psychological triggers and social pressures.

How We Treat Opioid Use Disorder at Our Rehab Center

We understand that the path to recovery from opioid use disorder requires a comprehensive and personalized approach. Our treatment process encompasses various stages of recovery, from detoxification to maintaining long-term sobriety, ensuring a holistic path to wellness.

Detoxification

The first step in overcoming opioid use disorder is detoxification, a medically supervised process designed to manage withdrawal symptoms that occur when stopping drug use safely. During detox, our medical team closely monitors patients, providing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and ensure patient comfort. This phase is crucial for stabilizing the individual and preparing them for further treatment.

Residential/Inpatient Treatment

Following detox, many individuals transition to our residential treatment program, where they live on-site and receive 24-hour care. This immersive environment allows for a focus on recovery without the distractions and triggers of daily life. Our residential treatment includes a blend of medication-assisted treatment (MAT), individual counseling, group therapy, and holistic therapies designed to treat the whole person.

Outpatient Treatment

As progress is made, some patients may move to outpatient treatment, which allows for a more flexible schedule while continuing to provide comprehensive therapy and support. This stage is vital for transitioning back into everyday life, with treatments tailored to reinforce coping strategies, relapse prevention, and applying skills learned during inpatient care in real-world settings.

Sober Living

Upon completing more intensive treatment phases, individuals may choose to reside in sober living facilities. These environments offer a supportive, drug-free setting where residents can continue their recovery journey alongside peers who share similar goals of maintaining sobriety. Sober living provides a balance of independence and accountability, with continued access to therapy sessions and support groups.

By offering a continuum of care from detoxification through sober living, Twilight Recovery Center is dedicated to providing each individual with the tools, treatment, and support needed to overcome opioid use disorder and embrace a future of health, happiness, and sobriety.

Common Medications for Opioid Addiction Treatment and Recovery

In the fight against opioid addiction, certain medications play a crucial role in managing withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings, which are key components of a comprehensive treatment plan. These medications are designed to stabilize the brain’s chemistry, block the euphoric effects of opioids, alleviate withdrawal symptoms, and address cravings to help individuals focus on the behavioral aspects of recovery.
Twilight Recovery facility

Buprenorphine

Buprenorphine is a cornerstone in the treatment of opioid addiction. It is unique because it can be prescribed by a doctor for use outside of a clinic, making it more accessible for ongoing treatment. Buprenorphine is available in various forms, including a dissolving tablet, cheek film, an extended-release injection, and a 6-month implant under the skin.
Twilight Recovery facility

Methadone

Methadone is another key medication used to treat opioid use disorder. It is available as a daily liquid and is known for its effectiveness in reducing the painful symptoms associated with opioid withdrawal. However, methadone can only be dispensed in a certified opioid treatment program (OTP) setting. This regulation ensures that healthcare professionals closely monitor its use, reducing the risk of misuse and facilitating a more structured treatment approach.
Twilight Recovery facility

Naltrexone

Naltrexone is prescribed to individuals who have been opioid-free for at least 7–10 days. It works by blocking the effects of opioids at the receptor level, which prevents any sense of euphoria or sedation if opioids are used. Naltrexone can be prescribed by any clinician who is legally authorized to prescribe medications, making it widely accessible. It is an important option for those who have successfully detoxed and are moving forward in their recovery journey.

Choosing the Right Medication

The choice of medication is a critical decision in the treatment of opioid addiction and should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider. Factors to consider include the individual’s health history, the severity of addiction, lifestyle considerations, and the specific features of each medication.

FAQs on Opioid Addiction Treatment

In the event of an opioid overdose, immediate action is crucial. The first step is to call emergency services, as opioid overdoses can be fatal if not treated promptly. Administering naloxone, an opioid antagonist that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, is a critical next step if available.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasizes the importance of staying with the individual until help arrives, providing support, and monitoring their condition. Opioid overdose symptoms include loss of consciousness, slow or shallow breathing, and unresponsiveness.
