Can you find a single person who hasn’t heard of opium? Literally there is not a single such person who has not heard of Opium, its use and effects. Previously it was used as painkiller, but gradually its mode of use changed. It was used as strong addiction drug for a long period of time until it was banned by many countries. Now, its derivative opiate is used to make painkillers. Opiates are not as strong as the original opium, but its effects are quiet similar to that of opium. It affects a certain region of human brain which controls the feeling of pleasure.
Nowadays, people (mainly the young generation) have chosen painkillers as a drug of addiction. The opiate present in painkillers causes nearly the same effect as that of opium, causing a heightened feeling. People have shown how a simple medicine to cease pain can be used as a drug of addiction. Opiate addiction n is not always intentional. Sometimes it is seen that people who are prescribed with painkillers for body ailments, get addicted to it due to its prolonged usage. Leaving aside the case of accidental addiction to painkillers, thousands of people take painkillers intentionally to get high. Since it is available at plenty and at very cheap rate, people take quiet a lot of painkillers daily to feel its effect.
However, most of these addicts are unaware of the side effects of painkiller addiction. The effects can be so severe, that the addict can even die. The initial effects are not so harmful, but can be noticed by others. The addicts sleep for long period of time, they yawn excessively all day long, they always have watery eyes, dry mouth, nausea etc. The painkiller addicts isolate themselves from the rest of the world; they do not want to share their painkiller secret with anyone. Gradually they get physically and mentally sick, and this not only do harm to the addict but also to the people around them.
The only way to save a person from this condition is to get him or her admitted in an opiate rehab. The effects of opiates can only be removed in a proper effective rehab. The first treatment that is conducted in such case is the opiate detox program. Detox is the detoxification program in which the opiate particles present in the addicts body is eliminated by certain methods. Opiate addiction treatment can be conducted best in the private world class rehabs, like the Luxury Drug Rehab. The private rehabs can provide all the necessary treatment procedures. They can also provide adequate comfort to the patients, which help the patients to recover quickly and overcome the painful opiate withdrawal effects.
As it is said that prevention is better than cure, the case of addiction is no exception. Rehabilitation in an opiate rehab can be done anytime, but it is best to prevent a person from taking painkillers. They should be notified about the painful and intolerable side effects and withdrawal effects of painkiller addiction. The already addicted people must be provided with care and treatment; the addiction must be stopped by any means possible.
