QUIT OPIOIDS
KNOW THE FACTS
Opioids can cause severe physical dependence. Once a person is dependent on a substance, he or she cannot function normally without the drug. They may experience uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms, some of which can be life-threatening. In some cases a 
medication-assisted treatment (MAT) or detox program or may be necessary to help a person safely detox. 

What Is An Opioid Addiction?
An opioid addiction is also called a substance use disorder by the healthcare/mental health industry. It is important to point out that there is growing public pressure to stop using the stigmatizing term disorder, which we support.

The signs and symptoms of addiction can be physical, behavioral, and psychological. One clear sign of addiction is not being able to stop using opioids. Another sign is if a person is not able to stop using more than the amount prescribed by their doctor. The good news is help is available.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) 

Is the use of medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use challanges. MAT has proved to be clinically effective and to significantly reduce the need for inpatient detoxification services for these individuals. [Mat Page]

 

Don’t Let Opiates Control Your Life

Opiates are among the most frequently abuse prescription pain meds prescribed by physicians in America. Taking any medication without a prescription, or taking more than prescribed, or using it for a different reason than prescribed are all forms of misuse. And prescription drug addiction doesn’t discriminate. It affects people of all ages and backgrounds. Learn more facts at: www.samhsa.gov/medications-substance-use-disorders
