Drug Rehab Key West Eyes New Ways to Treat Opiate Dependence
Key West, FL (PRWEB) October 24, 2013 -- In recent years, prescription opiate abuse has led to a rash of overdoses on drug like Vicodin and Oxycodone. These drugs are tremendously helpful in managing pain when prescribed by a doctor and used in moderation; they can easily develop into a dangerous addiction with a large probability for abuse and death by overdose.
The expert addiction counselors at Drug Rehab Key West saw the increase in the number of patients come to them for help with an opiate addiction and as a result, they devise a brand new treatment approach that can help someone end an opiate dependence once and for all. Their new focus is on the main reason people become addicted to opiates in the first place; they are in pain.
Gordon B., a specialist at Drug Rehab Key West, clarified that pain management is a key part of ending and addiction to opiates.
“People use pain pills because they are in pain stemming from an accident or surgery or whatever it is,” Gordon said. “When they stop taking the pills to get clean, their pain usually will return even though in many cases it is partly in their head, that makes quitting hard.”
A person’s brain comes to expect the pills and when it doesn’t get the opiates, the brain can start sending signals that indicate pain when there really isn’t any. Finding alternative pain management techniques is the most effective way for someone to overcome pain and start living drug-free.
There are a plethora of options when it comes to which therapy technique is for you and the certified addiction counselors are always ready to help people find the activity that works best for them. Some find that yoga or meditation is a relaxing way to relieve their pain, while others find therapy sessions in groups or individually is their most effective method. Whatever you choose, the addiction specialists are there to guide you down the path to sobriety.
