Understanding Opioid Addiction

Opioid addiction is a complex chronic disease, not a moral failing. It develops when the brain and body are repeatedly exposed to opioids, which includes prescription painkillers like oxycodone or hydrocodone, as well as illicit drugs like heroin and fentanyl. Even when used as prescribed by a doctor, opioids can cause dependence where the body and mind require the drug simply to function normally.

Physical dependence and the avoidance of withdrawal symptoms can lead to addiction, which is marked by compulsive drug seeking and use despite harmful consequences. Recovery from opioid addiction requires professional medical and therapeutic intervention to manage the severe withdrawal symptoms and address the underlying behavioral and psychological factors that contribute to the disease.

Coastal Detox provides evidence-based addiction therapies and FDA-approved medications to treat opioid withdrawal symptoms while patients participate in our rehab treatment plan. Our admissions line is open 24-hours-a-day, so don’t wait.

  • Initial Assessment and Intake: Upon arrival, you will undergo a thorough medical and psychological evaluation to determine the severity of your addiction, overall health, and any co-occurring mental health disorders. This step ensures your personalized treatment plan is safe and effective.
  • Medically-Supervised Withdrawal Management: Our medical team will utilize FDA-approved medications to significantly alleviate withdrawal symptoms, making the process as comfortable as possible while your body adjusts.
  • 24/7 Medical Monitoring: You will receive continuous care and monitoring from physicians and nurses who are available around the clock to manage any complications and adjust medication as needed, prioritizing your safety and comfort.
  • Beginning Therapeutic Engagement: Even during detox, patients begin preliminary engagement with therapy, including individual counseling and group sessions, to start addressing the psychological roots of addiction and prepare for the next stage of recovery.
  • Transition to Inpatient Treatment: Once the acute physical withdrawal phase is complete, you will seamlessly transition into the comprehensive inpatient rehab program to continue the work on behavioral therapies, mental health treatment, and relapse prevention.

Medical Opioid Detox

Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a cornerstone of modern opioid detox, combining FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to provide a “whole-patient” approach to recovery. Medications like Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone) and Vivitrol (naltrexone) are used to manage the severe physical discomfort of withdrawal, reduce cravings, and normalize brain chemistry, significantly lowering the risk of relapse. By stabilizing the patient physically, MAT allows them to fully engage in the therapeutic process, addressing the psychological and emotional factors underpinning their addiction in a safe, medically-monitored environment.
