Recent data about addiction in the United States is concerning. More than ten million people annually abuse opioids or opiates of some kind. However, only about 10% of the people who need professional rehab receive it. If you or someone you know is in danger of becoming a statistic, it’s time to seek an opiate addiction treatment program.

Do You Need an Opiate Addiction Treatment Program?
Unapproved use of any drug is abuse and dangerous. Some opiates have medical uses, such as codeine, often used in prescription cough suppressants. Another common opiate is morphine, commonly used for pain relief at the end of life or after major surgery. Whether you are using a street drug like heroin or a prescription opiate not as prescribed, it’s abuse.
Physical Symptoms
One of the first signs is physical symptoms. You exhibit any or all of these signs of regular drug abuse:
- Dry mouth
- Flushed skin
- Constricted pupils
- Falling asleep suddenly
- Slow breathing
- Loss of self-control
- Itching
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Constipation
- Feelings of heaviness
- Confused thinking or disorientation
- Difficulty making decisions
- Memory loss
- Excessive sleepiness at random times
Medical Symptoms
If you’re struggling with an addiction to opiates, you may suspect or have been diagnosed with one or more of these conditions:
- Kidney, heart, and liver damage or disease
- Blood clots, heart attack, stroke
- Frequent infections (weakened immune system)
- Rheumatologic issues (auto-immune responses)
- Blood poisoning
- Sexual dysfunction, amenorrhea, infertility
Financial Trouble
Your drug use has superseded financial responsibility because acquiring your next fix is more important than heat, food, or rent. You are in debt over your head and have no plan to fix it.
Noticing Changes in Yourself
The things you once cared about, the people you once loved, the career you valued, the principles you held dear have been pushed aside, and your addiction is now in control.
If you checked off any of the things on the above list, you have found the answer to the question, “When is it time to seek out treatment?” Naaman can help. Call us at 888.541.9239 for assistance and information, or use our online form.
