Opiates are a class of drugs that originate from the opium poppy plant. They include both prescription medications, like morphine, codeine, and oxycodone, as well as illegal drugs like heroin. Opiates are typically used to relieve pain, but they also produce a sense of euphoria, which can lead to misuse and addiction. These drugs work by binding to receptors in the brain, altering the way the body perceives pain and pleasure. Over time, regular use can result in dependence, where the body relies on the drug to function normally.
Opiate addiction is a serious condition that can affect every aspect of life. At Society Wellness, we offer specialized treatment options to help individuals overcome addiction and regain control of their lives in a supportive, LGBTQ+ affirming environment.
Opiate addiction is a chronic disease that occurs when someone becomes dependent on opiates, a class of drugs used to relieve pain. This addiction develops when the brain begins to rely on the drug to produce feelings of pleasure and well-being, making it difficult for the individual to function without it. Over time, the body builds a tolerance, requiring more of the substance to achieve the same effect. This can lead to compulsive use, even when the person wants to stop, and may result in severe physical, emotional, and social consequences.
