Opium addiction is a potential deadly disease that affects millions of people around the world. Although opium is not the most widely abused drug, opium derivatives such as Oxycontin, Oxycodone, Morphine and heroin are very widely abused substances that cause thousands of overdose related deaths each year. Opium addiction symptoms may not be easy to spot at first, but with proper knowledge of what to look out for, you can be better prepared to recognize the early warning signs and the need for help.

If you know someone who is abusing opium in the raw form or if you know someone who uses opiates (derivatives of the opium poppy) such as morphine or heroin you’ll want to pay close attention to their drug use and look out for the common opiate addiction symptoms. Should addiction symptoms become evident, you should consider seeking counseling, treatment & potential medical intervention to ensure your safety and recovery from this debilitating disease.
