Dangers with Opioid Addiction:

Op**te Overdose: A Deadly Result of Addiction
According to the World Health Organization, “Worldwide, an estimated 69,000 people die from opioid overdose each year.” This is because many people do not realize how dangerous opioids are when abused in high doses and many take these substances without a prescription. Using opioids can cause an individual’s breathing rate to slow, which, when the individual takes too much of the drug, can be deadly. The person could breathe too shallowly to receive enough oxygen or even stop breathing altogether. This can lead to coma and brain damage before death occurs, but many people do not make it to the hospital in time to receive help. When someone is addicted to opioids, they are much more likely to overdose on the drug as a result of their constant abuse, therefore making them vulnerable to this dangerous condition.

He**in Addiction: The Result of Nonmedical Op**te Abuse
Those who become truly addicted to prescription opioids often experience high tolerances, and eventually, they begin looking for a stronger fix. He**in is often the answer, which creates even more dangerous results for the individual.

According to the NIDA, “Research now suggests that abuse of [prescription opioids] may actually open the door to he**in abuse,” and that “nearly half of young people who inject he**in surveyed in three recent studies” stated they began abusing medications like oxycodone, hydrocodone, and codeine before they started using he**in. Unfortunately, he**in is stronger and, surprisingly, cheaper than many prescription medications, so a large number of individuals are beginning to switch to he**in as their drug of choice, causing the rates of he**in abuse to rise.

This is especially dangerous, as he**in abuse was on the decline before this shift occurred, and the drug itself can cause extreme mental and physical problems when abused, as well as a number of personal issues for those who abuse it.

Living With Op**te Addiction
Because many individuals take opioids for pain, the drugs are often considered to be less dangerous when abused than many illegal drugs such as methamphetamine, he**in, and co***ne. But opioid addiction can be deadly, as well as possibly leading to other issues:

Problems with family members, friends, and significant others that can lead to breakups, divorce, and falling out with loved ones
Legal issues that can culminate in court battles, financial obligations, prison time, and other problems
Poor performance at work that can cause the individual to lose their job and their income
Financial issues that may end in homelessness or the inability to care for oneself or one’s family
Physical health problems that require hospitalization
Mental health issues like depression, anxiety, feelings of isolation, and others
Addiction can alter your entire life and take over every aspect of it, even if you believe you have been taking a “safer” medication because it is prescribed. Any time you begin abusing opioids, there is a chance that you could become addicted to them, and this chance increases the longer you do so.

Opioid addiction is a serious issue that affects people all over the globe, which means that it is extremely important to follow the instructions of your doctor any time you begin taking these substances and to avoid any unprescribed use of them. Opioid addiction can become deadly, but it can also affect your life in a number of other ways, causing dangerous results that should be avoided at all costs.

What Family Members Should Know About Someone Who Is Taking Suboxone:

SUBOXONE
Family support can be very helpful to patients undergoing SUBOXONE treatment. It helps if the family members understand how dependence is a chronic disease that requires ongoing care. It also helps if the family gets to know a little about how treatment with SUBOXONE works, and how it should be stored at home to keep it safe. Family life might have to change to allow time and effort for the patient to become healthy again. As is often the case, family members themselves can benefit strongly from therapy as well. The following are frequently asked questions we hear from family members about loved ones starting SUBOXONE treatment.

​

What is an opioid?

Opioids are synthetic and natural drugs that are related to the drugs found in o***m. Some of these drugs include addictive narcotics such as he**in. There are many prescription pain medications that are classified as opioids as well, such as codeine, morphine, and oxycontin. Common medication-assisted treatments (MATs) such as methadone medications are also considered opioids.

​

Why are opioids used to treat opioid dependence?

Opioids such as methadone should not be viewed as “just substitutions” for your loved one’s current addictive substance. These medications are used to treat opioid dependence because they have been proven (since 1965) to help patients remain healthier as they transition from a harmful substance to one that will help them with stabilization and recovery. Medication-assisted treatments also prevent patients from getting into legal trouble and reduces their risk of developing diseases and infections that usually occur when needles are shared.

​

What is the right dose of SUBOXONE?

Opioid dependence is essentially described as the need to have the opioid receptors in the brain occupied by an opioid. Based on your loved one’s psychological and health evaluation during your first appointment with us, we will tailor a specific dose of SUBOXONE to fill such receptors at the right rate. The correct dosage of SUBOXONE will allow the patient to feel and act normally throughout the course of treatment.

​

Because every opioid can have either a stimulating or sedating effect—especially during the first few weeks of treatment—the dosage we initially give a patient may be adjusted until they begin feeling better. Sometimes, it may take a few weeks to find the correct dosage amount, simply because how the patient reacts to treatment could also depend on their tolerance and metabolism. For that reason, we often ask family members to help the patient keep track of any symptoms that occur during the first few weeks on SUBOXONE. The physician will be able to use all of this information to adjust the SUBOXONE dose accordingly and recommend the best time of day the medication should be taken.

​

Once the right dose is found, it is important that the patient takes it at the same time every day, so their body can maintain consistent medication levels to avoid experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

How can the family support good treatment?

Even though medication-assisted treatments for opioid dependence works very effectively, it is not a cure. This means that patients receiving SUBOXONE treatment will continue to need SUBOXONE doses, with regular monitoring by their physician. The best way to help and support the patient is to encourage routine medical care, not to skip SUBOXONE doses, and—most importantly—actively participate in regular counseling sessions or support groups.

ATTENTION! If you are PREGNANT, and have a problem with pain pill or he**in abuse, it is absolutely necessary for you to contact us and enter into treatment AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

You can speak directly with our counselor who has over 12 years experience in helping pregnant clients.

Treatment While You’re Pregnant?
When the doctor approves you to use Suboxone while pregnant, you still need to take extra measures to avoid harming yourself and your unborn child. The three critical precautions you need to take are;

a) Notify Your Doctor of Your Pregnancy Immediately
If you are already on a Suboxone treatment plan and find out you are expectant, make sure you tell your doctor immediately. This will help him/her assess your condition and advise you on what to do next to stay safe.

b) Follow Your Doctor’s Directions without Fail
Even if your doctor thinks that Suboxone treatment is a good option for you during pregnancy, you need to keep in mind that there are still some risks associated with it.

Typically, your doctor will determine the safest Suboxone dose for you and supervise your progress closely.

It is your responsibility to follow all the instructions carefully and never try to adjust your medication. Call us prior to any changes. We are here to help keep you and the fetus safe.

c) Keep All Appointments
Your primary Suboxone treatment doctor will work closely with your obstetrician to monitor your progress, and how you react to the medication throughout your pregnancy.

Therefore, it is critical to honor all your appointments and never hesitate to ask questions or raise concerns if need be.

We don't judge...We help!

Counseling Vs Life Coaching

Counseling (Therapy)
Counseling is provided by health care professionals who have studied a wide range of mental health disorders and interventions. Counselors have earned a Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling. They then worked for years as interns then associates, where they were directed and closely supervised on a regular basis.

Counselors are certified or licensed, and governed, by states. In many states, counselors are licensed to diagnose and treat mental health concerns such as major depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, and adjustment disorders to name a few. Counselors look at a client’s present life and past history, and their goal is to help individuals heal from the past and move forward in the future.

Examples of Individuals that Would Benefit from Counseling
Counseling is a fit …if you need help coping with life
Counseling is a fit …if you have experienced trauma
Counseling is a fit …if you have been feeling sad and you cannot seem to get better
Counseling is a fit …if you are feeling anxiety and this is affecting your day to day life
Counseling is a fit …if you are having trouble adjusting to a new event (loss of job, loss of loved one, divorce)
Counseling is a fit …if you are struggling with something in your past
Counseling is a fit …if you are experiencing complicated problems with family members
Counseling is a fit …if you experience low self esteem problems, especially those related the way you grew up
Counseling is a fit …if you are experiencing negative emotions and negative self-talk
Counseling is a fit …if you have thoughts of self harm
Counseling is a fit …if you feel disconnected from others
Counseling is a fit …if you are feeling confused, uncertain of what your mental or emotional issue might be

Life Coaching
Life Coaches are not health care practitioners. Life coaches are trained to 1) help you set a specific task-oriented goal, and 2) help coach to complete that goal. They do not venture into your past, or the core root of behaviors. They have received certifications from independent organizations, but they are not accountable to state governments.

Examples of Individuals that Would Benefit from Life Coaching
Life Coaching is a fit…if you feel overall healthy, but you are having trouble losing a few pounds
Life Coaching is a fit…if you want to get more organized in your life
Life Coaching is a fit…if you are looking for a task-oriented solution for a simple, non-psychological concern
Life Coaching is a fit…if you want to follow through on a goal such as daily exercise, chore completion, or advancement in the workplace
Life Coaching is a fit…if you have feel you need support and encouragement for a specific outcome

An Important Note on Counseling vs Life Coaching
It is appropriate for an individual with mental health concerns, or unspecified emotional issues, to seek counseling over life coaching. A counselor’s scope of practice is more versatile, as he or she can help you with your task-oriented goals in addition to mental health treatment.
