Opiates, whether used recreationally or as a prescribed treatment, can quickly begin to take over your life as they are highly addictive. Your need for the drug will only grow with time and as your body and brain get used to functioning with the help of the opiates, getting off them will become increasingly difficult. So it’s important to get help immediately and stop this process in its tracks.
Detoxing from opiates can seem like a daunting task. Whether you’ve been using them for a long period of time or only recently became addicted to opiates, the claws of addiction sink in pretty quickly to your life, making living life without them feel near impossible.
But with the right environment, support and professional guidance, beating your opiate addiction doesn’t have to be such a scary feat.
Our purpose-built treatment centre has everything you need to safely detox, understand your addiction and gain the tools needed to live a full life without opiates. Our team pride themselves on a person-centred approach, meaning they’ll put together a programme that suits your individual needs, whatever they may be.
Although a life without opiates may be difficult to imagine now, remember, recovery is a process so it’s important to focus on one step at a time. The first step is reaching out for help.
