Utah Opiate Addiction Treatment Program

Written by Drew Redd. Mina Draskovic, B.Psy., reviewed this content for accuracy.

Opiate addiction is one of the most common addictions today among Americans. The “heroin epidemic” is a prime example of the prevalence of opiates in society. Ardu Recovery Center created an opiate addiction treatment program to attempt to reverse the effects of this epidemic and supply our residents with a successful recovery option.

What Are Opiates?

Utah Opiate Addiction Treatment Program Opiates are a classification of drugs derived from the opium plant. These drugs are highly addictive and have a propensity to cause overdoses due to their strength. Unlike opioids, opiates occur naturally in the poppy plant but are still considered controlled substances due to their potency and abuse potential. While individuals can receive prescriptions for opiates just like opioids, they’re not man-made chemicals synthesized in a lab. Not to mention, those suffering from opiate addiction are at a high risk for addiction and potential overdose. Signs of opiate use include:
  • Dilated pupils
  • Constipation
  • Nausea
  • Slurred speech
These are just a few of the many physical signs of opiate use. Also, opiate use results in the body becoming physically dependent on the drug, exhibiting discomfort when the opiate is not present in the system. Interestingly, addiction to opiates can be present without any outward signs in certain cases. Additionally, any opiate user who persists in their usage despite strong negative consequences is certainly considered addicted.

Opiate Addiction Treatment Program

Due to the serious health effects of opiates and their propensity to cause overdoses, seeking medical treatment is always your best option. Additionally, opiates cause a strong dependency. Meanwhile, users build a rapid tolerance. Therefore, this creates a constant, ever-increasing need for users to up their intake. The likelihood of addiction and disease multiplies due to this. Getting into a Utah opiate addiction treatment program like the one at Ardu Recovery Center can tip the odds back in your favor.
We have extensive knowledge on combating opiate addictions. With this in mind, our experts create an opiate addiction treatment program that uses a unique combination of rehab programs that will work best for your needs. These custom-tailored plans allow each resident to find the most effective treatments for them.
Consequently, giving our residents options that suit them ensure they also engage more actively in the recovery process. All of these help to ensure a successful recovery for residents at Ardu Recovery Center’s Utah opiate addiction treatment program.

Don’t Wait to Get Help

Often those dealing with an opiate addiction, or any addiction, find it difficult to reach out to get the help they need. Sometimes they feel ashamed. While this isn’t an uncommon feeling, it isn’t a necessary one. The process of rehab is not a shameful one.
Our Utah opiate addiction treatment program is a nonjudgmental location. We preach empathy and compassion and put it into practice each and every day. Other times people may be in denial. This could be believing they are in control of their usage or they “aren’t that bad.” The truth is that anyone who abuses opiates is at risk. The concentration of illegal opiates it hard to determine and can vary wildly, possibly leading to accidental overdose.

Don’t put yourself at risk any longer. Treatment options are available to you and recovery is possible. Furthermore, Ardu Recovery Center employs an expert team of addiction specialists to help you. Our team is ready to guide you down every step on the path to recovery. We also offer a range of substance abuse treatment options in addition to opiate addiction, including:
