AR TREATMENT FACTS

  • According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, addiction is a chronic disease, which means relapse is always a possibility. However, when one attends treatment, the chances for relapse decrease considerably because the individual has the tools to avoid this dangerous outcome.
  • A patient suffering from opioid withdrawal can be treated with the use of one of three different medications: clonidine, methadone, or buprenorphine.
  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy is perhaps the most commonly used therapy regimen for addiction treatment. It focuses on how the learning processes play a critical role in one’s recovery for opioid addiction (NIDA).
  • Opioid addiction recovery usually requires multiple treatment options over the course of one’s lifetime. Attending just one treatment program will not necessarily guarantee that you will no longer require help from another program in the future.
  • Having friends and family members visit you in inpatient care will provide you with the social support that is so helpful for recovery in addition to reminding you of your life outside of treatment.
