Opiate Rehab In Los Angeles, CA
Why You Need an Opiate Detox Program
Going through cold turkey withdrawal like this feels terrible. But it does not usually threaten your life. That is unless you use more of your drugs after withdrawal has begun. Using too much, even at your regular dose amount, causes a deadly overdose.
Other ways cold turkey harms you includes causing your symptoms of mental illness to flare. Aggression, anxiety, depression, and other mental problems make withdrawal difficult. However, with the help of medications, support, therapies, and other services of medical detox, you get through withdrawal much more easily.
Withdrawal symptoms made easier during medical detox include:
- Muscle cramping, runny nose, and yawning
- Nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting
- Sweating and fever
- Depression, anxiety, and agitation
- Racing heart and high blood pressure
- Drug cravings
After medical detox, you need opiate rehab. Opiate addiction treatment in a licensed rehab program provides the therapies and services you need for lasting recovery. After all, detox just provides the beginning of sobriety. To stay sober, you need to learn how to keep relapse away.
Your Transformation Start Here
What Is an Opiate Addiction Treatment Program?
In opiate addiction treatment you learn why you turned to substance abuse in the first place. Maybe you suffer mental illness and were self-medicating those problems. Maybe you suffered abuse or trauma and turned to opiates for relief. Or maybe real pain and a doctor’s prescription quickly took you down a dark road you never expected.
No matter why you started abusing drugs or alcohol, you need help to quit. Detox cleanses your body of the drugs, but it does not clear your mind of them. You do not have the coping skills you need to prevent relapse. You also do not know your own triggers or temptations well so that you can rise above them.
In opiate rehab, you learn why you started abusing opiates. You get to know these root causes, whether they include problems of your past or untreated mental illness. In individual counseling, you also learn what triggers you to use, as well as how to cope with those triggers in the future.
Besides learning how to avoid going back to drugs, opiate addiction treatment teaches you new ways of thinking, behaving, seeing yourself and understanding others. In group therapy, you learn how to build healthy relationships, accept criticism, support others, and socialize in healthy ways.
Finally, opiate rehab helps your whole family heal from the addiction. Family therapy works on past and present problems. Everyone learns to end enabling and codependency. You also learn to communicate better for a stronger family unit.
