Opiate addiction is one of the most common and fastest growing addictions nationwide. If you’re addicted to prescription painkillers or heroin you’re not alone, sadly there’s countless others suffering from this serious medical condition as well. We should never judge others because anyone can become addicted to opiates but it’s a chronic disease that requires professional treatment to overcome successfully.

Opiates are powerful potent drugs that can end up destroying a person’s life if their use ends up turning into an addiction. Opiate addiction is a progressive relapsing illness that’s not easy to overcome especially for those that have developed a strong psychological and physical dependence due to long term use.

It can be very challenging overcoming opiate addiction but the journey toward recovery doesn’t have to be physically and mentally uncomfortable or unpleasant. Methadone can prevent or reduce the unpleasant symptoms of opiate withdrawal addicted individuals experience when they stop using painkillers or street opiates like heroin.
