Understanding Opiates

What is Opiates?

Opiate is a drug that includes prescriptions. It comes from the word Opium which is naturally found in poppy seeds and plants. These drugs are used to treat mild to severe pain in patients. Opiate has intense calming effects and hence has high rates of abuse leading to addiction.

When you stop/cut back on your heavy usage after a few weeks, it leads to withdrawal which can cause anxiety, agitation, muscle aches, nausea, etc. Treatment for withdrawal symptoms often includes counselling, support groups, and medicines.

An overdose of opiate painkillers is a common consequence when the opiate is combined with substances such as central nervous system antidepressants and alcohol.

Inpatient detox followed by inpatient rehab is the most effective treatment.
