Treating Morphine Addiction at Boca Recovery Center
The most effective morphine addiction treatment programs use individualized strategies.[2] You should have a say in the therapies involved in your recovery program. Your Boca Recovery Center team will learn more about your addiction and treatment history and build a program that may include the following elements:
Medical Detox for Morphine Withdrawal Management
Quitting morphine quickly can lead to opioid withdrawal syndrome. Symptoms can resolve within five to 14 days, but distress levels are severe. Without proper treatment, many people can’t quit misusing opioids completely due to the discomfort.[3] When discomfort levels rise, they simply relapse and return to morphine misuse.
A detoxification program involves using medications to ease chemical imbalances within the brain. Your treatment team will monitor your symptoms and provide therapies that can help you stay comfortable. As your body adjusts, your dose will get smaller and smaller.
Your detox program may also include therapy to help you understand what’s happening with your body and your mind. You’ll also have fluids, nutritious meals, and plenty of comfort and monitoring by your team.
Medical detox is an important part of recovery, but it’s not the only thing you’ll need. Recovery success is limited if detox alone is used.[3] You’ll need more help, and you can get it at Boca Recovery Center.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
At the end of detox, you may be on a small amount of medication. Without it, you could feel drug cravings, and your relapse risks could rise. If you need continued therapy, you’ll be enrolled in a medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program at Boca Recovery Center at the end of detox.
Buprenorphine has been considered the gold standard for morphine addiction treatment since it was released in 1960.[4] Buprenorphine won’t make you feel intoxicated or high. It will help you stay focused on building a healthier future. You will be able to focus on the work you are doing in therapy without discomfort from withdrawal symptoms and cravings for morphine.
If buprenorphine isn’t working, your team could provide a different therapy, such as methadone (which is stronger) or naltrexone (which only blocks a high if you relapse).
Buprenorphine is often combined with naloxone in combination forms of MAT, such as Suboxone. If you relapse and attempt to abuse Suboxone, naloxone will activate, throwing you into precipitated withdrawal. This helps to deter abuse of the medication.
Your care team will assess which form of MAT could work for you. You’ll have a tailored approach that’s based on what works best for you and your recovery.
MAT is typically a long-term therapy. People who use medications for six months or longer are more likely to recover than those who don’t.[5] At the end of your time in treatment at Boca Recovery Center, we’ll help you find a provider close to home to ensure you stay on medications that preserve your sobriety.
Comprehensive Inpatient Rehab Treatment for Morphine Abuse
It’s very difficult to recover from morphine addiction when you’re surrounded by triggers, dealers, and old haunts. An inpatient or residential program at Boca Recovery Center lets you step away from your home and into a therapeutic environment.
Spend every day focused solely on your addiction. Your team will administer medications and watch your progress. Your schedule will be filled with individual therapy, support group meetings, group counseling, and relaxation opportunities.
Everything you do will help you to heal. Those lessons will reverberate throughout the rest of your life in sobriety.
Therapy
Adding counseling to medications is associated with lower treatment dropout rates.[6] While medications alone can help you feel better, counseling can help you develop new habits and thought patterns. Therapy is always part of the treatment equation.
Types of therapy typically used in morphine addiction treatment programs include the following:[4]
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): Every action begins with a thought or habit. CBT sessions help you identify unhelpful or harmful patterns that lead to low-level distress and unhelpful behaviors. You’ll develop skills to change the way you think, so staying healthy is easier.
- Relapse prevention: This form of CBT focuses tightly on the thoughts, behaviors, and habits that increase the risk of morphine abuse. You’ll identify your relapse and drug cues, and you’ll then learn how to deal with them without relapsing. With guidance, you can shift negative thoughts and behaviors that make drug misuse more likely.
- Contingency management: Make sobriety more rewarding by accessing special snacks, gifts, and other perks for each negative drug test you provide. Brain cells altered by morphine may need this mood boost more than a healthy mind might. Contingency management can be a good tool to keep you motivated in early recovery.
The therapy options used in your morphine addiction treatment program might change as you do. Your team will stay in close contact with you, ensuring you learn the lessons that can help you preserve your sobriety.
