opioid-dependent treatment

Opioid-dependent treatment helps people who are addicted to opioids, such as heroin or prescription painkillers, to recover and manage their addiction. It typically involves medications like methadone or buprenorphine that reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, allowing individuals to function normally. Treatment also includes counseling and support services to address psychological aspects of addiction. The goal is to stabilize the person’s health, prevent relapse, and support long-term recovery. These approaches are evidence-based and tailored to each person’s needs, helping them regain control of their lives while minimizing the harms associated with opioid dependence.
