  This was my first time ever coming to rehab and I can honestly say that this is the best experience and journey I’ve had in finding my self and getting sober. The staff at Live Oak actually pay attention to you and show you that they are here for you and your journey is sobriety and they have all the tools to help you if you truly want the help. As I was one that truly wanted the help and I can say I couldn’t have chosen a better place to start my journey in sobriety.

  Live Oak and the phenomenal staff made my at first- scary journey into recovery into a life-changing experience. I am from Minnesota and took a flight within 2 hours of calling and instantly felt safe when I arrived. I learned healthy tools for recovery and coping skills I never thought of and the staff (especially Amanda!!!) were genuine and kind to everyone. This will be the best decision of your life.

  The staff is great there and makes sure you are well taken care of. Food is good and snacks are available all times of the day. The nurse and doctor made sure they gave me the correct medications to detox and afterwards.

  My experience at Live Oak surpassed all of my expectations. The staff are caring and very knowledgeable. The classes provided me with a wealth of knowledge, that pertained to a wide range of substances and addictions. I left feeling confident and educated to maintain my sobriety. If anyone that is reading this needs help, give them a call NOW. You will not be disappointed. God bless you all.

What Are Opioids?

Opioids are a class of drugs that act on the opioid receptors in the brain and body to relieve pain. They are commonly prescribed for severe or chronic pain management but can also be misused or obtained illegally for their euphoric effects. The medical and clinical staff at Live Oak Detox can help with your opioid abuse through medical and clinical interventions that address the discomfort surrounding withdrawal and address the core issues that drive individuals to want to continue to use opiates even after the substance is no longer in their bodies.

To get help for yourself or someone close to you who might be struggling with opioid addiction, call (877) 716-4464 today to learn more about the treatment options available at our South Florida addiction center.

Here are some key points about opioids:

=

Types of Opioids

Opioids include prescription medications like oxycodone, codeine, hydrocodone, and morphine, as well as illicit drugs like heroin and illicitly manufactured fentanyl.

=

Pain Relief

Opioids work by blocking pain signals between the body and the brain, leading to pain relief. They can be prescribed for various conditions, including post-surgical pain, cancer-related pain, and severe injuries.

=

Euphoria and Sedation

Opioids can produce feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and sedation. These effects can be desirable but can also lead to misuse, addiction, and other negative consequences.

=

Side Effects

Common side effects of opioids include nausea, constipation, drowsiness, confusion, and respiratory depression. These effects can vary depending on the specific opioid and dosage used.

=

High Risk of Dependence and Addiction

Opioids have a high potential for dependence and addiction due to their impact on the brain’s reward system. If misused or used for an extended period, individuals can develop a physical and psychological reliance on opioids, resulting in addiction.

=

Overdose Risk

Opioid overdose is a significant concern. Taking higher doses than prescribed or combining opioids with other substances, particularly alcohol or benzodiazepines, can suppress breathing to a dangerous extent, leading to respiratory distress or even death.

=

Withdrawal Symptoms

When individuals stop using opioids after prolonged use or misuse, they may experience withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms can include restlessness, muscle and bone pain, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, and anxiety.

Recognizing the Signs of Opioid Abuse

Recognizing the signs of opioid addiction can help identify a potential problem and encourage timely intervention.

Here are some common signs of opioid addiction:

=

Behavioral Changes

Frequent changes in mood or behavior, such as sudden irritability, aggression, or increased secrecy, may be indicators of opioid addiction. Individuals might also exhibit noticeable changes in their sleep patterns, appetite, or social activities.

=

Cravings and Preoccupation

A strong and persistent desire for opioids, coupled with an increasing focus on obtaining and using the drug, is a key sign of addiction. This preoccupation with opioids can lead to a neglect of important responsibilities and a shift in priorities.

=

Tolerance and Escalating Doses

Over time, individuals may require higher doses of opioids to achieve the desired effect. Developing a tolerance is a typical characteristic of opioid addiction, as the body adapts to the drug’s presence.

=

Withdrawal Symptoms

Experiencing physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms when attempting to reduce or stop opioid use is a clear indication of addiction. These symptoms can include muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anxiety, insomnia, and agitation.

=

Neglecting Obligations

People with opioid addiction may neglect their personal and professional obligations. This could involve decreased performance at work or school, neglecting personal hygiene, or withdrawing from social or recreational activities once enjoyed.

=

Doctor Shopping and Obtaining Opioids Illegally

Engaging in “doctor shopping” to obtain multiple prescriptions for opioids from different healthcare providers is a warning sign. Similarly, acquiring opioids through illegal means, such as buying them from illicit sources or forging prescriptions, is indicative of addiction.

=

Continued Use Despite Negative Consequences

Despite experiencing adverse consequences like relationship difficulties, financial strain, or legal issues, individuals with opioid addiction may continue using the drug.

Discover Opioid Addiction Treatment

It is important to note that addiction treatment should be individualized, and what works for one person may not work for another, the treatment that we provide at Live Oak Detox is patient centered, meaning there is not a one size fits all approach to treatment. The services offered are evidence based and effective but we take each person’s individual nuances into account when developing their treatment plans. We keep our model easy to follow and address the medical and clinical barriers to long term sobriety, to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.
