Opiate Addiction Treatment
Opiate Addiction Help in Bristol, Essex & London
‘Opioids’ is a term used for substances that affect the receptors within our central nervous system, otherwise known as opioid receptors. Opioids can be naturally occurring as well as synthetic, or man-made. Surprisingly, our brain makes its own opioids in the form of endorphins, which a great deal of people experience after exercise.
There are also plant-derived opioids called ‘opiates’ which come from the seedpod of the Asian poppy plant.
These opiates include:
- Opium
- Morphine
- Codeine
Many will be familiar with morphine as a drug administered in hospitals to relieve pain, as well as codeine, found in many prescription drugs. Heroin is an example of a synthetic opioid that is actually included in prescription drugs such as Vicodin, Demerol and OxyContin to name a few.

What Is Opiate Addiction
Opiate addiction can occur through the use of both prescription drugs and recreational drugs. You may find yourself being prescribed an opioid drug in order to help relieve pain experienced after surgery or following a minor injury.
You may also get them to help you deal with chronic pain due to disease or a long term condition such as cancer. Prescription opioids used for pain relief are, generally speaking, very safe however misuse of these prescription drugs is where the risk lies.
By taking the drugs in a manner that isn’t advised by the drugs instructions or your medical practitioners instructions, you’re at risk of developing an addiction. This can lead to compulsive behaviour in order to seek out the drugs, regardless of the negative impact it may have on the addict’s life.
