Are you one of the millions of Americans currently suffering from prescription pill abuse? Did the addiction start with you taking medically prescribed medications? Many prescribed medications for pain end up as a source of addiction. Usually, dependence is not a significant risk if the individual follows their physician’s exact orders. When pain medications are taken in higher doses than prescribed or against doctor’s orders, the opportunity for real problems occurs and opiate addiction treatment may be necessary.
Doctors commonly prescribe opiate medications like oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, codeine for pain relief following a surgical procedure, automobile or sports-related accident, and for some cancer patients. These powerful opioids can offer effective pain relief when taken as prescribed, but due to their highly addictive nature, users can easily develop a dependence to the drug if they begin consuming more or larger doses than prescribed.
Opioid pill addictions are among the most commonly abused substances in the United States, falling in behind only after alcohol and marijuana. This high rate of addiction is accredited to easy accessibility and relatively low prices compared to other drugs.
Opioid pain pills react with receptors in the brain, altering the way the body perceives pain. They also activate the body’s “feel good” receptors. This warm, euphoric high is what users begin to crave.
Over a period of long-time use, the body and brain get used to opioids, and need them to function properly. If an individual suddenly cuts their usage by half or more, or totally stops using opioids, the body will react by going into withdrawal mode.
Prescription pill withdrawal can be uncomfortable and sometimes severe, depending on the dosages and for how long the pain pills were abused. The most effective form of prescription pill detox should be performed under the watchful eye of an experienced medical professional who will be available if any complications should arise while the body is cleaning itself of harmful toxins. Self-detox can be painful and dangerous, so it is never recommended.
Common prescription pill abuse withdrawal symptoms can include:
