Opiate Detox. A Successful Start.

Opiate detox is one of the most difficult detoxes to have to endure. It is also a medically intensive detox for the drug rehab program that is orchestrating the detox. At least it should be. Common opiate drugs that people frequently become addicted to include Oxycontin, Vicodin, morphine, heroin, methadone, Tylenol with Codeine, and oxycodone, among others. The best drug rehabs will orchestrate your opiate detox in such a way that you will experience only mild opiate withdrawal symptoms. At Paradise Recovery, this is accomplished through the direction of a highly experienced addiction psychiatrist and internal medicine physician. The physicians work in concert with the acupuncturist and dietician to tackle the detox from several different angles.

Our experience with even very difficult opiate detox situations has been very positive. Please remember: the detox process is only the first step in your recovery. You will need a clear mind and clean body to be able to absorb the critical concepts you will need and to do the transformation work required for a lasting recovery. Give yourself some time to allow this to happen.

The Many Faces of Addiction

The definition for addiction:

"The state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma."

The word addiction embodies so many different habits that can be formed, sometimes they can be minimal, where a particular habit doesn't interfere with any aspect of your life, other times the habit may consume you to the degree where it affects one or more aspects of your life.

There is an array of addictions that are out there, some of which are:

1. Sex Addiction
2. Cocaine Addiction
3. Heroin Addiction
4. Alcohol Addiction or Alcoholism
5. Opiate Addiction
6. Vicodin Addiction
7. Benzodiazapene Addiction

If any of the above have become a habit and have affected one or more aspects of your life, and you feel that stopping it may cause severe trauma in your life, you may want to seek out a treatment center or rehab that specializes in the different forms of addictions out there.

Preferably a treament center or rehab that offers a detox program. Whether it be cocaine detox, opiate detox, vicodin detox, alcohol detox, heroin detox, benzodiazapene detox, or a combination of any above. At Paradise Recovery we offer detox for all of the above, in our medically monitored detox program.

If you or a loved one needs help for drug addiction or alcoholism, there is help out there!

Blessings to you...
