The Role of Pain Killer Detox in the Recovery Process

By Frankie Vellbond

Drug addiction has always been associated with fringe groups who in general want to rebel against society. But this is not always the case as there are times when people with serious injuries and afflictions get treated with strong pain killers.

Morphine for instance is one such drug and the continued use of morphine leads to a dependence on the drug. Falling prey to such a condition and unknowingly at that is tragic, but it applies to a lot of people today. The good news is that the right detox program can make a world of difference.

Cliffside Malibu has been working for many years with people who have drug related problems. One such program is the pain killer detox program and it has yielded wonderful results.

You can call Cliffside Malibu at 1-800-501-1988 anytime to find out more about the center's programs and how they can help you or your loved ones. People who have been part of the center's pain killer detox program have been able to reclaim their lives and get back to the mainstream and live productive lives.

Cliffside Malibu's pain killer detox program often has a post treatment therapy session that helps people to fight the urge to get back on the pain killer once the treatment has been completed. It's hard to imagine any outcome could ever be more important than that one.

Some of the commonly reported side-effects of prescription pain killers are slowing down and acceleration of the heart beat, hallucinations, delirium, muscle rigidity and flushing. Hypothermia, intracranial pressure and ureteric spasms are also other commonly known side-effects.

Remember that you can make all the difference if you want to. Make sure that you get all the help you need to do that.

The fact is that there are several conditions when certain drugs should not be taken. For instance, if you're drinking you should never take an opioid. This is not common knowledge and many people jeopardize themselves and their health by doing so. The alcohol will react with the opioid and this in turn will have disastrous long term and short term effects. - 31816
