Opiate addiction is a nightmare. Having to constantly count, keeping track of pills so one doesn’t run out. Then going through horrible withdrawal symptoms when you do run out. Risking problems with the law and possibly ending up in jail. Or even worse, ending up in a cemetery. It’s a lousy life, being addicted to and dependent on opiates to function and to feel “normal.”
Now, there’s a better way, much better in fact. It’s called Recovery and it works.
The idea of Recovery, is to turn an addict into a patient, because Opiate Use Disorder is a disease and requires medical treatment, like all other diseases. So, instead of risking jail and death, patients receiving treatment by an appropriate specially trained physician can finally begin a life free from drugs, and the daily grind of having to continuously hunt for more opiates to avoid getting sick.
At The Drug and Alcohol Detox Clinic of South Mississippi, patients are always treated with dignity and respect. Patients are never judged for the problems they have. Because that wouldn’t be right.
Instead, patients are made to feel welcome at the clinic, so they can begin the act of finally ridding themselves of being dependent on opiates. Patient’s families are often included as part of the treatment process. In addition, at The Drug and Alcohol Detox Clinic patients are evaluated and treated for other mental and emotional problems, like depression and anxiety. This helps patients in their Recovery, as they no longer need to take opiates to feel calm or happy. In essence, the whole person needs to be treated in order to become whole again.
