Morphine is a naturally occurring, very potent opioid pain reliever used to treat moderate to severe pain. It can be very helpful for managing pain but it also has a very high potential for dependence and addiction. Sober Living’s treatment professionals have developed a specific medical treatment modality to morphine addiction that specializes in treating the psychological as well as the physical addiction to opioids and morphine addiction to give you the best chance of long-term sobriety possible.
Understanding Morphine Addiction
Morphine is an opioid which is administered by injection or orally and relieves pain by binding to receptor sites in the brain that turn pain signals on or off. Morphine works by replicating many of the effects the brain would normally produce and since the brain is accustomed to the effects of the drug it will have developed a resistance (tolerance) and a physical dependence in order to function. Without intervention the individual will be faced with unmanaged symptoms of withdrawal that can be quite intense. Sober Living understands this and can help you achieve sobriety in a safe and caring environment.
