When detox becomes a necessity
Due to the uncomfortable nature of opioid withdrawal symptoms, which can include nausea, muscle aches, and intense cravings, quitting on your own can be very difficult. Without medical supervision and medications for opioid withdrawal, many people return to using opioids.
Our partner, Clear Behavioral Health, offers comprehensive opioid detox and inpatient rehab treatment services, providing a solid foundation for addiction recovery before entering New Life House.

Mental health support that meets you where you are
Opioid addiction is rarely the only issue at hand. Many young men also struggle with underlying mental health issues, including trauma, anxiety, or depression, which may have contributed to the reason why they started using drugs in the first place.
Our partner, Neuro Wellness Spa, provides ongoing psychiatric care that can help you address your mental health needs. This aspect of our program provides mental health support and careful medication management when appropriate. We ensure that opioid addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions are treated comprehensively throughout your recovery journey.
What is opioid addiction? (opioid use disorder)
Clinically known as opioid use disorder (OUD), opioid addiction is a chronic medical condition that involves compulsive use of illicit or prescription opioids despite harmful consequences. Over a long period, opioid abuse can affect your brain’s reward, motivation, and memory systems.
How opioid addiction takes hold
There are several ways you can find yourself on the path to opioid addiction. Sometimes it can start innocently with a legitimate prescription for pain management after surgery or injury. In other cases, it could be exposure to opioids through partying, peer pressure, or bad influences.
Regardless of the way you start using opioids, they can take hold very quickly. These drugs flood your brain’s reward system with dopamine, producing a feeling of intense euphoria while disrupting the way you normally regulate emotions. Over time, your brain becomes dependent on opioids to maintain basic functioning.
Using opioids as prescribed or recreationally can easily turn into opioid misuse, followed by opioid dependence, and needing more to achieve the desired effects. This creates a vicious cycle that ultimately leads to opioid addiction.
If you start with prescription opioids like oxycodone or hydrocodone, there is a risk of progressing to more powerful substances like heroin or fentanyl. This could be as a result of running out of a prescription or an inability to find pills on the street.
Warning signs and symptoms of an opioid problem
Recognizing opioid addiction can be life-saving. Here are some signs and symptoms to watch out for:
- Physical symptoms: This could appear as frequent flu-like symptoms without being sick, nodding off or appearing extremely drowsy, pinpoint pupils, unexplained injuries, dramatic weight loss, poor personal hygiene, and opioid overdose.
- Behavioral changes: Be on the lookout for frequent appointments and doctor shopping for multiple prescriptions, secrecy about day-to-day activities or relationships, and poor performance at work or school. Many young men struggling with drug abuse are unable to maintain basic responsibilities.
- Emotional symptoms: The emotional effects of opioid addiction often involve depression, severe anxiety, and detachment from reality. These symptoms are usually amplified if you’re unable to use opioids for a considerable amount of time.
