Who Becomes An Opiates Addict?
Nobody becomes an opiate addict because they want to. Withdrawal distress involuntarily traps opiate users into addiction. The moment an opiate dependent person begins to self-administer opiates to treat opiate withdrawal distress another opiates addiction is born.
How Does Opiates Addiction Affect Your Life?
Opiates addiction is a full-time job with plenty of overtime and no days off. Opiates addiction affects the user on both a personal and social level. Opiates addiction limits social and economic progress plus it creates various legal challenges that mount over time.
Opiate addicts tend to socialize strictly with other opiate addicts. It’s probable that opiate addicts mistrust non-opiate addicts and visa versa and that mistrust results in clannish behavior. However, once that recognition is made, that the safest friend is another opiate user, the bonding aspect of opiates addiction develops. Opiate users believe that only another opiate addict can fully understand the physical and mental challenges of being an opiate addict. Sympathetic emotion helps to reinforce bonding between addicts especially when two or more opiate addicts share a single needle during the process of relieving withdrawal distress. Bonding behavior is an important aspect of all opiate addictions because it reinforces the addictive behavior. Everyone shares the same problem. Everyone must try and manage opiate withdrawal distress every single day. It’s an “us against them” mentality. It’s not just a group of people who like getting high together rather it’s a group of people trying not to get sick together. The opiate addiction lifestyle is something like going into battle every single day, with opiate addicts on one side and the enemy “sickness” on the other. The enemy begins raining down mortar shells first thing each morning. If an addict is lucky and they acquire enough opiates throughout the day they can call an evening truce.
Opiate addicts rarely call themselves opiate addicts. That’s because opiate addicts practice a warped form of “Customer Loyalty”and “Branding.” They often categorize themselves by the type of opiate they prefer. A good example of customer loyalty is seen when an opiate addict calls himself or herself by their opiate of choice as with a “Heroin Addict”or “Oxycontin Addict.” Customer loyalty and name branding by opiate addicts mimic behaviors of normal life but with an abnormal product. For instance, when a person describes their favorite beverage as a “cola or coke,“ some cola drinkers prefer “Coca Cola” while others actually prefer “Pepsi,” so they call themselves “Coca Cola drinkers” or “Pepsi drinkers” whichever the case may be. The same idea holds true with Buprenorphine, Dilaudid, Fentanyl, Loritab, Methadone, Norco, Opana, Percocet, Roxicodone and Vicodin.
When an opiate addict is unable to acquire their preferred opiate of choice then “customer loyalty” and “brand name preference” are quickly abandoned. When the point of withdrawal distress begins to impede their ability to function, then any type of opiate will do. The ease with which opiate addicts switch from one opiate to another has nothing to do with customer loyalty or branding and it’s not about getting high either – it’s about not feeling sick. By the time an opiate addict goes into an opiate detox center most have used two, three, four or more opiates.
Opiates Detox Program
Opiates addiction is caused when an opiate user decides to alleviate opiate withdrawal distress by using more opiates. The first time an opiate user administers opiates to treat opiate withdrawal distress it transforms opiate dependency into opiate addiction.
Our opiate detox center developed a proven workable recovery program that eliminates opiate withdrawal symptoms and ends opiates addiction.
Detox is a managed system of recovery that allows opiate addicts to successfully end their dependence to opiates and gives them back the freedom of choice.
How does the Public View Opiate Addiction?
The public view of opiates addiction and opiate addicts is that most people who become addicts are psychologically defective. The think opiate addicts live a life of fantasy and ecstasy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Most opiate addicts are constantly worried, often troubled and constantly feel harassed by society and law enforcement.
Opiate Withdrawals
Opiate withdrawals are the consequence of opiate dependency and a lack of opiate intake. If an opiate dependent person cannot use opiates then opiate withdrawal distress begins within a relatively short period, usually less than 12 hours. The initial negative effects are a lack of energy followed by anxiety, depression and restlessness. As time passes their eyes begin to water and their nose starts to run and sneezing begins. The symptoms of opiate withdrawal generally reach their peak on day three with nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, insomnia, leg and back cramps, anorexia, malaise and depression.
An interesting fact at this point is that if a proper dose of opiate medication is administered the person who seemed disheveled, weak and depressed may reverse this state in less than five minutes. They are quickly relieved and appear happy, energetic, grateful and with appetite. They will almost without exception become overly apologetic for their previous state of being.
