An opioid overdose requires immediate medical attention. Call 911 immediately if you or someone you know exhibits any of the symptoms.
Given the physical challenge of recovering from opioid addiction, it’s no wonder individuals find themselves using just to avoid the experience. Opioid withdrawal is characterized by a range of physical and psychological signs that occur when someone abruptly stops or significantly reduces their opioid use.
Psychologically, it’s common to feel anxious, agitated, and restless, while experiencing mood swings and depression. The severity and duration of opioid withdrawal can vary depending on the type of opioid used, the duration and intensity of use, and the individual’s overall health and tolerance. It’s crucial to seek professional help and support for managing opioid withdrawal safely and effectively.
Withdrawal isn’t easy, but things do get better with time.
