Drug Facts
Narcotics/Opiates
Opioids can be made from the opium poppy plant or in the laboratory. They block pain signals by binding to opioid receptors on nerve cells in the brain, spinal cord, gastrointestinal tract, and other organs in the body. Narcotics are like opiates such as morphine and codeine, but are not made from opium. They bind to opioid receptors in the central nervous system. Narcotics are now called opioids.
Opiate Withdrawal Symptoms
Physical and mental symptoms that occur after stopping or reducing intake of opioids, a substance found in certain prescription pain medications and illegal drugs like heroin. Opioid withdrawal develops after the body has become accustomed to a certain level of opioids. Opioids are found in certain prescription pain medications or drugs like heroin. Symptoms of opioid withdrawal include anxiety, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain. Treatment includes supportive care and medications to address symptoms and prevent complications.
SUBOXONE® sublingual tablet
Opioid dependence is a disease in which there are biological or physical, psychological, and social changes. Some of the physical changes include the need for increasing amounts of opioid to produce the same effect, symptoms of withdrawal, feelings of craving, and changes in sleep patterns. Psychological components of opioid dependence include a reliance on heroin or other drugs to help you cope with everyday problems or inability to feel good or celebrate without using heroin or opioids. The social components of opioid dependence include less frequent contact with important people in your life, and an inability to participate in important events due to drug use. In extreme cases, there may even be criminal and legal implications.
The hallmarks of opioid dependence are the continued use of drugs despite their negative effect, the need for increasing amounts of opioids to have the same effect and the development of withdrawal symptoms upon cessation.
There are a variety of factors that can contribute to the continued use of opioids. Among these are the use of heroin to escape from or cope with problems, the need to use increasing amounts of heroin to achieve the same effect, and the need for a “high.”
Treatment
Treatment for opioid dependence is best considered a long-term process.
Recovery from opioid dependence is not an easy or painless process, as it involves changes in drug use and lifestyle, such as adopting new coping skills. Recovery can involve hard work, commitment, discipline, and a willingness to examine the effects of opioid dependence on your life. At first, it isn’t unusual to feel impatient, angry, or frustrated. The changes you need to make will depend on how opioid dependence has specifically affected your life. The following are some of the common areas of change to think about when developing your specific recovery plan:
-
Physical – good nutrition, exercise, sleep and relaxation.
-
Emotional– learning to cope with feelings, problems, stresses and negative thinking without relying on opioids.
-
Social – developing relationships with sober people, learning to resist pressures from others to use or misuse substances, and developing healthy social and leisure interests to occupy your time and give you a sense of satisfaction and pleasure.
-
Family – examining the impact opioid dependence has had on your family, encouraging them to get involved in your treatment, mending relationships with family members, and working hard to have mutually satisfying relationships with family members.
-
Spiritual – learning to listen to your inner voice for support and strength, and using that voice to guide you in developing a renewed sense of purpose and meaning.
SUBOXONE® (Buprenorphine HCl/naloxone HCl dihydrate) sublingual tablet
During the treatment process, SUBOXONE will help you avoid many or all of the physical symptoms of opioid withdrawal. These typically include craving, restlessness, poor sleep, irritability, yawning, muscle cramps, runny nose, tearing, goose-flesh, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Your doctor may prescribe other medications for you as necessary to help relieve these symptoms. You should be careful not to respond to these withdrawal symptoms by losing patience with the treatment process and thinking that the symptoms can only be corrected by using drugs. To help you deal with the symptoms of withdrawal, you should try to set small goals and work towards them.

Our Philosophy
In our office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) clinic, our medical professionals, counselors, and front office team strive to provide evidence-based treatments, including behavioral therapy and other support services, to help individuals manage cravings, reduce withdrawal symptoms, and address the underlying causes of addiction. Our goal is to help patients achieve stability, reduce harm associated with opioid use, and develop a personalized path toward long-term recovery.
Our Services
Suboxone
Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone that treats opioid dependence. Buprenorphine has a mild mimicking effect of other opioids, while naloxone blocks brain receptors to prevent risk from any abuse. These drugs help curb cravings and stop withdrawals. Studies show a high success rate using suboxone for recovery.
Vivitrol (naltrexone)
Naltrexone is used to help patients with opioid use disorder who have stopped taking opioids to stay drug-free and maintain their recovery. It is also used to treat alcohol use disorder. Medicine is not a cure for addiction. It is used as part of an overall program that may include counseling, attending support group meetings, and other treatments recommended
Group Therapy Counseling
The primary purpose of addiction group therapy is to provide a supportive environment for individuals struggling with substance use disorders to connect with others who share similar experiences, learn recovery strategies, and build a social support network. It aims to foster a sense of belonging, reduce isolation, and help individuals develop coping skills and interpersonal abilities essential for long-term recovery. We offer weekly group counseling sessions; please feel free to ask for more details. The medical professionals at Theracare Recovery Clinic firmly believe that new life chapters begin here.
