If you have been abusing opium and are unsure if you require addiction treatment, look for the 10 signs below to know if it’s time to seek help. Call 877-743-0081 (Who Answers?) now to find safe, reliable rehab centers where you can put an end to your opium abuse.

1. Constipation

According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, “Opium inhibits muscle movement in the bowels leading to constipation.” Over time, this can cause gastrointestinal problems that require professional medical treatment. If you have avoided seeking help in order to keep abusing opium, this is a dangerous sign of addiction.

2. Cravings

Do you feel that you are constantly thinking about when you will be able to get your next fix? If you spend most of your time in this state, addiction has already set in, and you will require professional treatment.

3. Polydrug Abuse

Many opium addicts use the drug in combination with other substances. Consistently doing so because the drug itself is no longer enough to satisfy you is dangerous, and the more you continue to abuse multiple drugs, the more risks you are taking with your health––and your life.

4. Withdrawal Symptoms

Addiction Treatment for Opium

Opium abuse can cause problems at work.

As stated by the National Library of Medicine, “How long it takes to become physically dependent varies with each person,” but if you have been abusing a drug, experiencing withdrawal symptoms is usually a sign that you are already addicted as well as dependent.

5. Considering Heroin Use

You may be considering switching to heroin because it is cheaper and easier to obtain than opium. If this is the case, seek treatment now before moving on to the use of an even more dangerous substance.

6. Work Problems

Have you been reprimanded for coming in to work late––or not at all––because of your opium abuse? Have you been fired as a result of your dangerous drug use? Whatever the consequences, they will only get worse if you don’t find help.

7. Relationship Problems

The people close to you will want you to be safe and healthy. And if you are becoming addicted to opium, your drug abuse is likely affecting them as well. It is important to consider if they may be right about the dangers of your opium abuse.

8. Overdose

If you have experienced an overdose from opium use at any point, you must seek treatment right away. Opioid overdoses can be deadly.

9. Legal Problems

Have you been arrested or faced legal issues as a result of your opium abuse? It is time to get help and make a change.

10. Apathy

With addiction comes a feeling of apathy toward everything else in your life that used to matter to you: people, activities, even keeping yourself clean and healthy. Without treatment, you will not be able to gain back control over your life.
