Mountainside Drug Rehab in Canaan CT -

Mountainside’s Treatment Program for opiate addiction is tailored to meet the individual’s needs upon their arrival.  Opiate addiction and the accompanying withdrawal symptoms can occur as soon as 3 hours after last use if the person has been using regularly. Although there is no real physical danger from opiate withdrawal, it is quite uncomfortable and unbearable for the individual going through it. Mountainside Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center helps guide the recovering individual into a proper detoxification environment so that when they enter Mountainside Treatment Center, they are free of all substances and are properly detoxed from opiates and are ready to tackle their addiction, addictive behaviors and begin their journey to recovery from drug addiction.

The Class of drugs known as opiates includes drugs like Vicoden, Oxycontin and heroin. Commonly this class of drugs is a very effective pain reliever however it can also be very addictive. Many people who become addicted to opiates become addicted as a result of an injury or surgery where they have to legitimately take the medication. The problem begins when they have to stop and the withdrawal symptoms kick in. In some cases these symptoms can cause people to seek the drug through unconventional methods.

The severity of this type of addiction can been seen all over the news. With the recent death of Michael Jackson which appears to have been related to having to medication misuse, public awareness has hopefully been raised. Apparently Michael Jackson's problem began in the late 80’s when his hair caught fire while filming a Pepsi commercial. From that point on, purportedly, he has been apparently dependent on opioid pain medication.

The sad and unfortunate part about opiate addiction is that it can eventually lead to heroin which in some cases can lead to death.  The difference is that when buying heroin from the streets, you never know what you are going to get. There have been many people who have used heroin for years only to get what is known as a hot shot or dose which instantly kills them. This is where addiction to prescription pain pills can lead.
