Get clean from opiates
Getting clean from opiates begins with detox. Medically supervised detox in a treatment center accredited by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) offers a natural transition into rehab. Withdrawal can take a few days or a few weeks, as effects linger even after the substance is no longer in one’s system. A drug substitute may be cautiously prescribed to alleviate withdrawal symptoms. Rehab after detox provides a structured environment and a natural transition for the individual to work on recovery and lifestyle issues that can be implemented after being discharged.
Opiate Addiction Rehabilitation
Opiate rehab involves a number of factors such as the following:
- The individual’s willingness to commit to withdrawal and subsequent rehab
- Drug(s) used
- The level of dependency and side effects
- Mental, physical, emotional and medical issues of the individual
- The expertise of the people involved in treating the addiction
- Ability to pay for treatment via insurance and/or other means
- Relapse prevention
Treatment includes working on trust issues, developing supportive relationships, therapy and finding a new group of recovering peers to identify with. Opiate rehab focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior. SAMHSA accredited treatment centers and hospitals provide a variety of programs such as the following that are tailored to help individuals recover based on their specific needs:
- 12-step program

- Nutrition/exercise/recreation/wellness
- Aftercare for programs based in rehab treatment centers
