If you are reading this then that means that you or someone you care about is in the fight of their lives. Maybe even a fight for their life. If that battle is with opiate addiction then they will need all the help that they can get, even if they are you. It doesn’t matter if you need a suboxone treatment plan, counseling or help with detoxing, there is help available.
The Detox Trap
To find sobriety means getting clean and getting clean applies to the mind and body. This is one of the vilest evils of opiate addiction, it attacks the mind and body. Before anyone gets clean, however, they must first go through some type of detox. Finding a suboxone treatment center Portland Oregon residents and those from the surrounding areas can rely on for detox help starts by reaching out.
Detox is primarily abstinence from a chemical or drug, whatever the object of the addiction was. With many forms of addiction, the detox process might hardly be noticed and is often short-lived. Opioid withdrawal is not that type of detox.
Getting any of the addictive residue left from drugs out of the body is necessary for recovery. It is the body and mind’s reaction to this cleansing that make an opioid withdrawal so difficult and dangerous. This is bigger than dealing with cravings, more complex than a weaning process, and it is the most important step in beating this particular addiction.
Getting Help with a Suboxone Treatment Plan
If you are looking for help with an addiction, then it starts by doing exactly what you are doing right now. Reaching out is the first step to getting onto the road to recovery. Can you do it yourself? Sure, it can be done but you can also attempt to get into the cockpit of the F-14 fighter jet and fly it.
It is possible you might even get it airborne, it is even possible that you can land it and not kill yourself. Like attempting to detox from opiate addiction (or any addiction for that matter), it isn’t advisable. Nor is it smart, safe or likely that you will succeed but yes, technically you can do it on your own.
If you are still reading then it is safe to assume that you would rather do this the right way and get professional and experienced help from people who care. It also means that you don’t want to deal with the serious issues of opioid withdrawal alone and you shouldn’t.
Just a few of those issues include fever, cramps, vomiting, anxiety, paranoia, and the list goes on. The symptoms of opioid withdrawal alone can cause mental and physical harm. The pain, discomfort, and risk associated with withdrawal make the potential for relapse highly probable. Relapse can often lead to overdose and it doesn’t get any better from there. This is not an uncommon cycle among those who have tried without help.
