Codeine is an opiate that is widely used for pain relief and cough suppression. The operation by which it produces this effect is similar to the most powerful opiates, yet it is often regarded as being less dangerous, which is not the case. Dependence on codeine can develop slowly over time and have severe effects on your overall life health and happiness. Sober Living offers a specialized program for codeine dependence designed to enable you to detox safely and prepare you for long term sobriety.
What is Codeine Addiction?
Codeine addiction usually begins with a prescription for the drug; over time the affects on the body build up a tolerance which in turn causes the user to take higher and higher doses to be able to feel the desired affects. The higher doses needed to be effective with the drug then develop an addiction for the user. Due to the perceived lesser danger of the drug compared to other opiates many people overlook the potential for abuse until they find themselves unable to stop.
Supervised Detoxification Program
Our medical staff provides a calm, safe detoxification process from codeine, comfortable and completely monitored. They track your health and carefully use proven medications to limit the pain and discomfort inherent in detoxification as they help your body adapt to a new, drug free state.
Therapeutic Treatment Course
Detox is the first necessary step for recovery. Along with medical treatment, our program incorporates individual counseling and therapy, groups and ongoing peer support to help you come to feel comfortable without using and to understand the mental and emotional roots of your dependence.
Continued Care
We do not disappear after offering detoxification; we develop a custom aftercare plan for each of our clients that they can follow after treatment. This may involve therapy, support groups, pain management courses, and other support systems, as well as the therapists and guides available to you through life and its challenges.
