A Forever Recovery explains opiate addiction and its consequences. Addiction to opiates is very serious because when you start using these drugs, each time you use, you go up on the dose so that you can get the high you got the first time. That’s why there are a lot of overdose’s and opiate related deaths. The opiate addict will go up as much as five times their legal dose to try to keep getting high.
The addiction of opiates has gotten so bad that people are forging prescriptions, robbing pharmacies and stealing from people. Addiction to opiates could be life threatening but if immediate help is gotten from professionals that are familiar and cope with addiction to opiates the addict could get clean. Methadone is an opiate that can be used to treat addiction to opiate’s, but, if the methadone is not carefully monitored the person could get addicted to the methadone.
Some of the side effects to opiates addiction are muscle spasms, physical dependence, labored and shallow breathing, constipation, low blood pressure and coma.
