WI TREATMENT FACTS

Opioid addicts can stop abusing these drugs for good with the help of professional treatment, although they will likely always need to take some precautions to avoid relapse even after being treated.
Methadone is usually the best pharmacological treatment option for heroin addiction because of the severity of the dependence it can cause. Methadone is often better at treating those with severe dependencies than buprenorphine or naltrexone.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, stigmas cause maintenance programs utilizing drugs like methadone and buprenorphine to be grossly underutilized, which only further harms those suffering from opioid addiction.
Parents should discuss the issue of opioid and other types of drug abuse with their children because prevention is much easier and less costly than addiction and treatment.
Some individuals need to take antidepressants during their detox from opioids, and this treatment should never be denied to a patient who needs it, even if their symptoms are temporarily being caused by their withdrawal syndrome.
