Opioids are a class of highly addictive drugs. When you take these medications, they cause chemical changes in your brain that result in pleasurable feelings. The more you consume opioids, the more you need to obtain the same “high.” Over time, you use more and more, resulting in physical dependence.
At AIM Behavioral Health, an opioid abuse treatment visit begins with a substance use evaluation. Your provider will learn about your drug use, including the type of opioids you consume, how often, and if you’re experiencing any medical conditions as a result.
Your provider orders lab tests, including blood work and urinalysis, both of which are provided at the office for convenience. After determining the severity of your addiction, the team makes treatment recommendations.
At AIM Behavioral Health, the team offers a wide range of treatments for opioid abuse. They might recommend:
Since opioid addiction affects multiple aspects of your life, the team typically combines several types of treatment. For example, prescription medication can reduce cravings, while counseling can teach you coping skills to help manage compulsive thoughts and maintain your sobriety.
