Recognizing the Signs of an Opioid Overdose An opioid overdose can rapidly incapacitate a person, leading to potentially fatal consequences. It is crucial to recognize the signs of an overdose early and act immediately. Quick action can also mitigate longer-term complications for those who survive an overdose, emphasizing the life-saving importance of rapid and informed responses. #AddictionRecovery #EndtheStigma Joseph A.

Methadone maintenance therapy under the supervision of a practitioner is both safe and effective, but it can leave you with the challenge of detoxing off of methadone itself. Since methadone is an opioid itself, it results in withdrawal symptoms when an individual stops taking it, just like with other opioids. In fact, most patients find detoxing off of methadone more difficult than withdrawing off of short-acting opioids. Methadone is a long-acting opioid agonist, so it stays active on the brain for a longer period of time than many other opioids.? #AddictionRecovery #EndtheStigma Joseph A.

How Does Naltrexone Therapy At The Coleman Institute Work? Naltrexone is a medicine that blocks the opiate receptors in a person’s brain, which means it dramatically reduces opiate and alcohol cravings when they’re taking it. It is non-addictive and does not block the body’s natural endorphins. If you are struggling, Please get help. There are options available.

One of the most common complaints from those in recovery is having low energy and feeling very irritable. This lack of energy can be debilitating, making it difficult to carry out daily activities and maintain a normal routine. The feeling of constant exhaustion can also exacerbate other symptoms, such as irritability, mood swings, and depression, creating a vicious cycle that can be challenging to break. #AddictionRecovery #EndtheStigma
