World Class Opioid Addiction Treatment
Opioids are a class of drugs that include the illegal drug heroin, synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, Buprenorphine (Suboxone®), and pain relievers available legally by prescription, such as oxycodone (OxyContin®), hydrocodone (Vicodin®), codeine, morphine, and many others.
Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a complex disorder characterized by compulsive abuse of opioid drugs even when the person wants to stop, or when using the drugs negatively affects physical and emotional health. Opioid addiction is a serious medical condition. Individuals take opioids in an unhealthy way to achieve euphoric effects, suppress emotions and memories, escape reality, or to prevent withdrawal symptoms.
