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.
FindTreatment.gov, is a confidential and anonymous resource for persons seeking treatment for mental and substance use conditions in the United States and its territories.
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]
