Opioid Addiction Treatment in Austin, TX

emerge-recovery-texas-woman-support-therapy

In 2019, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported that approximately 10.1 million people over 12 had misused opioids over the year.

Unfortunately, the U.S. opioid epidemic has become extremely prevalent in recent history. Opioid addiction in Austin, TX is at an all-time high and women appear to be equally affected as men.

At Emerge Recovery TX we strive to provide world-class care for women struggling with opioid addiction. We provide a holistic opioid addiction treatment program incorporating innovative and effective techniques used by professionals globally.

Opioid Drug Rehabilitation in Austin: The Opioid Crisis

Opioids are the term we use to describe a subset of pharmaceuticals formulated to provide patients with exceptional pain relief.

Many prescription drugs fall under the ‘opioid’ category. Some of the most common opioids include oxycodone (OxyContin), fentanyl, morphine, methadone, and tramadol—to name a few. Heroin, an illicit drug with no known medical use, is a derivative of morphine and also falls under the opioid category.

It’s important to realize that the opioid crisis is a genuine issue. Opioids, when abused over a long period, will cause a person to become dependent. Overdoses can be and often are, lethal.

Opioids act on the central nervous system, specifically the brain. In an opioid overdose, the brain essentially loses its ability to regulate autonomic body functions. Respiratory depression appears as the predominant clinical sign, meaning the user essentially losses their ability to breathe, resulting in acute respiratory failure. 

What Are the Impacts of Opioid Addiction on Women?

Opioid Use Disorder is an ongoing issue affecting many women across the United States, and in Austin, TX. Research shows that women, particularly those of child-bearing age, are prescribed opioids for acute pain relief more often than men, leading to an increased risk of abuse. 

Unfortunately, women sometimes bear more of a psychological/behavioral burden in comparison with their male counterparts. Studies show that women are more likely than men to have experienced some form of mental illness, including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or gender-based violence, leading to the potential for increased likelihood of co-occurring disorders in addition to substance use.

Treating an Addiction to Opioids & Opiates

Treating an addiction to opioids typically requires the assistance of both medical professionals and therapists. Due to the nature of the dependence, opioid addiction treatment requires a comprehensive diagnostic work-up, assessment, and treatment plan. Therapists and physicians typically utilize a whole-patient approach by using both medications and behavioral therapy.
