Recover from addiction and get your life back with Lexington Center

Lexington, Kentucky – Opioids are drugs that include heroin as well as the licit prescription pain relievers oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine, fentanyl, and others. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, many who use heroin develop an opioid addiction.

Opioids can alter your brain by creating artificial endorphins, which is responsible for the “feel good” reaction of the individual. Dependence on opioids can cause your brain to rely on these artificial endorphins. However, too much reliance on these drugs can cause the brain to stop producing its own endorphins.

Recognizing opioid dependence

Opioid overdose requires immediate emergency medical treatment. In some states, it is treated by using a prescription nasal spray called naloxone (Narcan). One can be at risk of opioid dependence if they take the drug differently from what was prescribed.

Taking opioids more than the prescribed dose increases the risk of opioid dependence. Symptoms of addiction may include personality changes, social withdrawal, mood swings, agitation, usage increase, increased inactivity, desire to be alone, blackouts, forgetfulness, and changes in appearance or emotional state. The good news is that these signs can be treated and it is possible to recover from the addiction.

Partners in recovery

Opioid dependence can be a challenging and complicated condition. But it is never too late to recover from the addiction. The Lexington Center for Opioid Dependence assists dependent people in reclaiming their lives from addiction to opioid. It is a rehab center in Lexington Ky that strives to improve the lives of its patients on a one-to-one basis.

Treatment starts once the patient fills out the necessary paperwork. Physicians will assess the patient’s medical, psychosocial, and drug use history to learn more about their addiction and treatment needs. This will help them create the right recovery plan for their patients. The treatment program includes weekly group therapies, educational counseling, referral to self-help twelve-step groups.

Aside from that, the patient can also look forward to immediate and long-term access to resources and support to help the patient build a new life. Treatments are administered on an outpatient basis so the patient can still be with their family and attend to their work and relationship commitments while undergoing treatment.
