Opioid Addiction Treatment

Opioid-Addiction-TreatmentWhile opioids are commonly prescribed to treat chronic pain, they are incredibly addictive. This has led millions throughout the country to develop opioid use disorders.  Individuals who begin taking opioids like fentanyl, heroin, and oxycodone are often unaware of how powerful these drugs are. People with unhealed trauma or other mental health concerns are especially susceptible to developing opioid dependency. Opioid addiction has been declared a public health emergency, with tens of thousands of people dying from opioid overdoses each year. If you or a loved one is struggling with opioids, it may be time to consider getting help from our opioid addiction treatment program in Jeffersonville, IN. At TruHealing Riverbend, you’ll find highly effective outpatient opioid addiction treatment programs to help individuals and their families heal.

Do You Need an Opioid Addiction Treatment Program?

It is easier to recognize the signs of opioid addiction with illegal drugs like heroin than with prescription medications. Commonly prescribed opioids like Percocet or OxyContin can be incredibly addictive.

Some of the most common signs of opioid addiction may include:

  • Constipation
  • Sudden mood changes
  • Nausea, vomiting, or other withdrawal symptoms
  • Mental fog
  • Exhaustion and insomnia
  • Slurred speech
  • Irritability
  • Problems in relationships, work, or school

If you begin to notice any signs of opioid addiction in yourself or a loved one, you may want to consider seeking help from an opioid addiction treatment program.

How Our Opioid Addiction Treatment Program Can Help You Heal

The beginning of opioid treatment involves abstinence from opioid use and managing severe withdrawal symptoms that usually follow. At TruHealing Riverbend, we offer medication-assisted treatment that can ease withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings, making it easier to focus on recovery.

Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) is ideal for those struggling with severe opioid addiction. For those in early recovery, it’s important to provide close monitoring and strict adherence to medication-assisted treatment and more intense opioid rehab programs.

Outpatient opioid treatment in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) involves two or three visits to our treatment center every week. You’ll still receive medication if needed to manage lingering addiction symptoms, but you’ll continue living at home, working, and enjoying time with your loved ones. You will also participate in any recommended counseling and therapies.

Addiction treatment therapy can help you to adjust your attitude towards what drove you to abuse opioids for better coping skills. It can also help you to manage your thoughts better to prevent relapse. There are several types of talk therapy in rehab facilities.

Individual therapy encompasses celebrating progress, avoiding or withstanding impediments, and setting smart goals. When you enroll in our opioid addiction treatment program, you can participate in a variety of counseling options, like dialectical behavior therapy. 

A group therapy program helps you understand that the condition is not unique to you; others are also going through it. This setting enables you to hear how others are battling their addictions and what types of setbacks they are experiencing. As a result, you will learn different strategies for dealing with your addiction through group sessions.

As we continue to grow Amatus Health, the need to stay competitive and differentiate ourselves in unique ways is crucial. Building creative approaches to reach more people will take our company to new heights. This is why I am pleased to announce that we are officially rebranding. Our new national name, TruHealing Addiction & Mental Health Treatment, will eventually replace Amatus Recovery Centers.

You may be asking, “Why are we doing this?” This new name will give us national uniformity and help brand ourselves as a whole, which will be done in phases. You will still see our existing facility names co-branded with TruHealing for the time being.

Healing is what we do. Everyone who comes through our doors is in a moment of profound struggle in their lives. We support them through a life-changing process of healing and recovery, and they leave our facilities changed. This new name is a representation of that process. As mentioned above, it also allows us to have a national brand, which will make us a recognizable name in the addiction and mental health field.

In summation, these changes present an excellent opportunity for our organization to develop our mission, vision, and purpose. I look forward to prosperous growth as we head in a new and positive direction.

Sincerely,

Mark Gold
CEO

Moreover, how life-changing proper intervention truly is.”

Passions & interests: The greatest passion of mine is being able to dig into the work with men in early recovery. There is nothing better than witnessing and being a part of the change. My journey in long-term recovery has taught me to value the little things in life that I am now able to do. I love to do anything that allows me to be present with my wife, family, and friends. My wife and I enjoy traveling, trying new foods, and taking long motorcycle rides with our friends. If I am not on the road working or with my wife, I am studying or playing softball.

 

The best part of my job is being able to show up for my team and clients; they all mean the world to me. I get to brainstorm and strategize with tons of different personalities. A lot of the team does not know, but I love learning from them. If I am not learning something about our industry or workplace, I am certainly learning how to effectively collaborate with different types of individuals.

 

Together, we can change the narrative and be a part of the solution to better treat those trapped in the problem.
