1. Less Painful Withdrawal
If you decide to attend opium addiction treatment, you will likely be managed on medication in order to make your withdrawal less painful. Opium withdrawal is not life-threatening, but for many people, it can be so painful and uncomfortable that relapse occurs because the individual wants to make the pain stop.
In opium addiction treatment, these issues will be managed with medications like buprenorphine or, most commonly, clonidine. According to the NLM, clonidine “primarily reduces anxiety, agitation, muscle aches, sweating, runny nose, and cramping.” Attending treatment will make it less likely that you will relapse, especially in these first difficult weeks.
2. Cravings Help
Opium addiction treatment can help with cravings.
In treatment, you will receive a lot of help when dealing with cravings, as they are one of the strongest issues tied to relapse. Individuals in treatment for opium addiction receive both long-term medication regimens that can help reduce their cravings by way of controlled doses of buprenorphine or methadone. They will also learn new ways of fighting cravings in therapy sessions and identifying possible triggers that may bring them on. Attending treatment can help give you a larger arsenal for fighting cravings that can sometimes linger even after treatment is over.
3. Life Without Opium
Opium addiction treatment can help remind you of what life was like without opium. Even though you will likely be put on opioid addiction medication, it will not be a strong enough dosage to get you high and will help you “disengage from drug seeking and related criminal behavior” (NIDA). Behavioral therapy sessions will also allow you to learn new ways to cope with stress, helping to remind you that smoking or taking opium is not the only way to do so. Living without opium again could open your eyes to the fact that you do not need the drug to be happy.
4. Relationship Help
Along the road of addiction, many people lose loved ones in their lives and relationships shatter under the weight of drug abuse. In opium addiction treatment, family and relationship counseling are often available and help many individuals reconcile with their loved ones. While treatment will help you personally, it may also help you see the side of those who have been hurt while you were abusing opium. This can not only help you become more eager to make a change in your life but possibly help fix relationships that seemed broken.
5. Caring Medical Staff and Other Patients
Many people attribute their success in treatment to those who cared for them during one of the most difficult times in their lives. In opioid addiction treatment, you will be under the care of compassionate medical professionals who understand that addiction is a brain disease that makes people act in ways they wouldn’t normally but that it can be treated. Some patients also make friends in treatment and are able to keep in touch with one another, helping each other through the stages of recovery that come after treatment. There is always the possibility that someone you meet in opium addiction treatment could touch your life forever.
