One of the most dangerous substances is also one of the most widespread in the country — opioids. Millions of opioid prescriptions are written every year in America due to the fact that these drugs were initially advertised as safe and non-addictive. Only recent studies have proved otherwise. Now medical providers are hesitant to end prescriptions due to opioid withdrawal or because they do not have a useful alternative to offer their patients.

At Decision Point Center, we are here to help combat the opioid epidemic by offering comprehensive and compassionate opioid rehabilitation treatments, therapies, and programs.

What Are Opioids?

Although prescription opioids—or prescribed painkillers—has helped people with managing their pain, they have also resulted in a national epidemic that spans several decades. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), two million people had an opioid use disorder in 2018 and an estimated 130 deaths occur everyday from opioid-related drug overdoses.

Opioids are made from the opium poppy plant. In addition, semi-synthetic opioids derived from opium and other man-made compounds that possess a similar chemical structure, while synthetic opioids (e.g. fentanyl) are completely man-made in pharmaceutical labs.

Common types of opioids include:

  • Codeine
  • Oxycodone
  • Hydrocodone
  • Morphine
  • Fentanyl
  • Hydromorphone
  • Meperidine

Many opioid painkillers are more commonly known by their brand names, such as:

What to Do During an Opioid Overdose

An opioid overdose is a serious medical emergency that requires immediate attention. Here are some steps you can take if you suspect someone is experiencing an opioid overdose:

  • Call for emergency medical help: If you suspect that someone is experiencing an opioid overdose, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately. It is essential to get professional medical help as soon as possible to increase the chances of survival.
  • Administer naloxone: If you have access to naloxone, an opioid overdose reversal medication, administer it as soon as possible. Naloxone can quickly reverse the effects of opioids and help prevent a fatal overdose.
  • Stay with the person: Stay with the person and monitor their breathing and other vital signs. If the person stops breathing, perform CPR until medical help arrives.
  • Provide basic first aid: If the person vomits, roll them onto their side to prevent choking. You can also use a cool, damp cloth to help cool them down if they are sweating or experiencing a fever.
  • Stay calm and reassure the person: An opioid overdose can be a frightening experience, and the person may be confused, disoriented, or scared. Stay calm and reassure the person that help is on the way.
  • Prevent future overdoses: If the person survives the overdose, encourage them to seek treatment for their addiction to prevent future overdoses. Provide them with information about addiction treatment programs and support groups.

Signs of Opioid Addiction

All opioids are depressants that affects the central nervous system by slowing automatic processes like brain activity and even breathing, making users calm and drowsy. While the main purpose of taking prescribed opioids is to relieve the user from pain, the high that accompanies certain doses of these drugs has led to abuse, addiction, overdoses, and deaths.

Common signs of opioid addiction include:

  • Taking more opioids than the amount prescribed by your doctor
  • Crushing pills to ingest or snort them
  • Track marks from injecting opioids
  • Slurred speech
  • Unable to keep your head upright
  • Acting in a sedated manner
  • Slow movement
