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.
Hi, my name is Heather. I was an addict for 22 years, addicted to anything that would help me smother my emotions. Meth was always my go to though. I’ve been to prison, doctor shopped, prostituted my body to get just one more. I was my own worst enemy for a long time killing myself slowly. I am my parents only child and yet they lived in fear of me. I hurt everyone I came in contact with. Today, I’m clean! I have gotten my felonies expunged, and now I work with juveniles in juvenile drug court!

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
