Opioids

Premier Treatment for Opioid Dependence

The term “opioids” pertain to a category of narcotics encompassing the illicit substance heroin, synthetic variants like fentanyl, Buprenorphine (Suboxone®), and legally prescribed painkillers such as oxycodone (OxyContin®), hydrocodone (Vicodin®), codeine, morphine, amongst others.

Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a multifaceted condition marked by uncontrollable consumption of opioids despite attempts to quit and deterioration of physical and emotional wellbeing due to its use. Opioid addiction is a significant health concern. People misuse opioids for their mind-altering effects, to suppress afflictive recollections and feelings, evade reality, or to ward off withdrawal symptoms.
