Pain Medication, Opioids, Opiate, and Pain Pill Addiction Detox and Rehab in San Diego

Painkillers, opioids, and opiates comprise a highly addictive class of drugs. According to information from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, opioid addiction is the third most common type of substance use disorder experienced in the United States today, following only alcohol and marijuana addictions. 

But while substance use disorders can be severe, they can be overcome with evidence-based treatment from addiction professionals.

Commonly Misused Pain Medications

Even if people take their pain pills and medications as prescribed, they can quickly develop a dependence and addiction to these drugs and need the help of a pain addiction rehab to recover.

The pain pills that frequently lead to addiction belong to the opioid drug class. These medications work by attaching to opioid receptors within the brain and body, which can cause effects like:

  • Pain relief
  • Euphoria
  • Slowed breathing
  • Itchiness
  • Drowsiness
Are you or a loved one struggling with opioid addiction?

Call Pacific Bay Recovery at 866-691-6661 to start an opioid addiction treatment program in San Diego, CA, today and take the first steps to a lasting recovery.

OxyContin

OxyContin (oxycodone), is a powerful synthetic opioid that is prescribed to treat severe pain. It has become infamous for its role in the opioid epidemic. This medication was prescribed & marketed as less addictive than other opioids, but the deceptive marketing campaign led to thousands of people developing an addiction.

Percocet

Percocet is another commonly misused pain medication. Percocet contains the active ingredients hydrocodone and acetaminophen, which together can reduce the sensation of pain in people who have been injured or undergone surgery. But when used regularly or for recreational purposes, Percocet can quickly cause addiction.

Morphine

Morphine is a painkiller derived from the opium plant. Typically used to treat severe pain, this drug can quickly lead to addiction when misused. While morphine is typically delivered intravenously in the hospital, morphine pills are sometimes prescribed for use at home.

Pain Pill Detox in San Diego

At Pacific Bay Recovery, our painkiller detox in California has been specifically designed to help people break free from pain medication-related substance use disorders.

These symptoms can be debilitating and often lead people to return to active substance use rather than continue the path to recovery. Thankfully, these symptoms can be greatly relieved through medical intervention at a pain med detox facility.

Researchers have developed several medications to treat painkiller withdrawal symptoms. When managed correctly, these medications can help people feel better immediately and break through the difficult first stage of recovery with minimal discomfort. 

Pain Pill Rehab in San Diego

While detox is an important first step, it must be followed by evidence-based pain pill treatment in order to produce a lasting recovery. A pain pill addiction rehab uses several different styles of therapy and treatment to ensure newfound sobriety becomes long-term recovery.   

These therapies focus on how and why substances have been misused in a client’s daily life. The true cause of substance use disorders can be treated by looking at addiction holistically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Opioid Detox

How long does opioid detox take?

Acute opioid withdrawal symptoms typically peak within 1 to 3 days and improve significantly over 5 to 10 days. With medication-assisted treatment (MAT), the detox process is often far more comfortable and manageable. Most clients spend 7 to 10 days in medical detox before transitioning into ongoing treatment.

Is MAT replacing one addiction with another?

No. MAT medications such as Suboxone, methadone, and Vivitrol are evidence-based treatments used to manage opioid use disorder. When prescribed and monitored by medical professionals, they reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing the same euphoric effects associated with illicit opioid use.

How is opioid detox different from heroin detox or fentanyl detox?

Clinically, opioid detox follows many of the same principles used in heroin and fentanyl detox. Medication-assisted treatment can be effective across the opioid spectrum, though medication selection, dosing, and treatment planning are customized based on the specific substances being used.

What if I am on a long-term Suboxone or methadone program?

We support both long-term medication-assisted treatment maintenance and medically supervised tapering, depending on your recovery goals. Treatment decisions are made collaboratively with our physicians and tailored to your individual circumstances. Some people benefit from extended MAT, while others may eventually choose to taper.
