Treatment for Opiate Addicts in Newport Beach
Morningside Opiate Track.
The treatment of opiate addiction begins with a supervised medical detoxification period. This period is often referred to as an opiate detox. The detoxification period can last anywhere from 10 to 30 days. Detoxification is the first step in a long process that includes a number of unique therapies that are specifically designed to rid the body and mind from a dependence on opiates. Treating the post-acute withdrawal symptoms is a critical component of the Opiate Track at Morningside Recovery.
These post-acute symptoms include; sleeplessness, depression, fatigue and anxiety. Our medical post-acute detoxification procedures, which are ongoing throughout treatment, help each client to recover from these sometimes debilitating after effects. Depending on an individuals clinical recommendations, treatment may include some or all of the following, introducing SSRI’s (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors), acupuncture, short-term suboxone/subutex maintenance, attendance at Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings in conjunction with working the 12 steps out of the NA workbook, yoga, massage, and implementing Terrence Gorski’s workbook on relapse prevention. The increased focus on the treatment of these symptoms will allow the newly recovering opiate addict to focus on the clinical program and not the physical withdrawal.
In addition to the unique medical components of treating opiate addiction, these addicts are also best served by being involved in specialized group processes and individual therapies which are designed to solely address the underlying issues which plague the opiate addict, these groups may focus on pain management, unique triggers, and dealing with the medical and emotional consequences which may arise in early recovery.
At Morningside, Quality, Caring Opiate Treatment is Affordable.
