When abused, pain medication and heroin, which are referred to as opiates, cause long-term changes in the brain. Therefore, if an opiate user suddenly stops use of the drug, without medical supervision, experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms is likely. Some reactions the body may have as a result of the opiate deprivation include:
- Nausea, vomiting, and lower GI disturbances
- Sleeplessness, restlessness, and trembling
- Severe muscle cramping and bone pain
- Spikes in blood pressure and heart rate
- Persistent and often overwhelming cravings
Since opiate withdrawal is painful and unpleasant, those addicted to pain medication and/or heroin often abandon their recovery attempts. However, many do not know there is another way to escape the pain and suffering associated with opiate withdrawal – Medicated Assisted Treatment (MAT). MAT replaces the pain medication and/or heroin with Suboxone. Through the use of these pharmacological interventions, as many as 90 percent of opiate users are able to abstain from the drugs they abused.
