Understanding Opiates and Addiction

Opiates—while once widely used for pain management—have now become a leading cause of drug and alcohol addiction across the United States. These powerful substances, including both illegal drugs like heroin and prescription medications such as OxyContin and fentanyl, are central to the ongoing opioid addiction crisis.

California continues to face an alarming opioid crisis. In 2023 alone, the state recorded:

  • 7,847 deaths related to any opioid overdose
  • 7,137 deaths specifically tied to fentanyl
  • 22,474 emergency department visits due to opioid overdose
  • A staggering 13.4 million prescriptions were written for opioids

These numbers reflect thousands of lives disrupted or lost. Families and healthcare systems across the state are carrying the heavy burden of opioid addiction. The urgency for compassionate care and mental health services has never been greater.

What Are Opiates?

Opiates are central nervous system depressants that slow the activity of the heart, lungs, and brain. While some are prescribed for physical health concerns, their high potential for misuse has led to a sharp increase in drug addiction and overdose. Commonly abused substances include heroin, fentanyl, Norco, and Vicodin—many of which are legally prescribed but dangerously addictive.

The Escalating Opioid Crisis

The opioid epidemic has devastated families and communities, with opioid addiction now one of the most urgent mental health and public health issues in the country. Synthetic opioids like fentanyl are especially dangerous, often leading to overdose and death due to their extreme potency. Whether addiction begins with a prescription or illicit use, the result is often the same: a life in crisis, and a desperate need for support.

The Need for Professional Addiction Treatment at a Detox Center

If you or someone you love is battling drug or alcohol addiction, know that healing is possible. At a trusted detox center like TRUST SoCal, recovery begins with a thorough assessment, followed by medically supervised detox and personalized care. Our addiction treatment programs are designed to address both substance abuse and underlying mental health disorders, providing a supportive path toward lasting recovery.

By combining medication-assisted treatment, evidence-based therapies, and a compassionate team of medical professionals, we help you take the first step toward a healthier, substance-free future. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate this journey without help.

How Do You Know When to Get Help for an Opioid Addiction?

Recognizing the need for help is often the first—and most powerful—step toward healing. Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) doesn’t always begin with illicit drug use. For many, it starts with a legitimate prescription for pain management. But when opioid use continues despite harmful effects on your health, relationships, or responsibilities, it may be time to seek professional support.

Signs You May Need Treatment for OUD

Research shows that you should consider reaching out to an addiction treatment center if you notice:

  • Cravings or an overwhelming urge to use opioids
  • Taking more opioids than prescribed or for longer than intended
  • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms (muscle aches, diarrhea, chills) when not using
  • Continuing use despite negative consequences at work, school, or home
  • Needing more of the drug to feel the same effect (tolerance)
  • Using opioids to avoid withdrawal rather than to relieve pain

These signs align with the DSM-5 criteria for diagnosing Opioid Use Disorder. Meeting just two or more criteria within 12 months may indicate a mild to severe form of the disorder.

The Importance of Early Evaluation

Seeking help early—through a thorough assessment and initial evaluation by medical professionals—can prevent complications like overdose, chronic addiction, or legal issues. Treatment can significantly improve both your mental health and physical health, and reduce the risk of relapse.

Opioid addiction is a chronic, relapsing condition, much like diabetes or hypertension. That means relapse does not equal failure—it’s a signal to adjust treatment and support.

Medically Supervised Detox and Withdrawal Management

Starting your healing journey with opiates can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. At our addiction treatment center, we offer medication-assisted treatment for your recovery with medically supervised detox.

A Safe and Supportive Environment for Detox

Our detox process begins with a thorough assessment and initial evaluation of your medical history. This ensures we understand your needs before beginning drug detox. For those with more severe dependencies, rapid drug detox options are available and carefully managed by our trained professionals.

We use medication-assisted treatment to ease withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and prevent complications for your substance use disorder. Every step is overseen by our experienced treatment team, who work together to create a safe and supportive environment, both physically and emotionally.

The Importance of Detox Treatment

Detox clears the way for meaningful emotional healing. Our detox treatment programs help prepare you for the next phase of care by focusing on:

  • Withdrawal management for comfort and safety
  • Identifying any co-occurring disorders early
  • Beginning to explore the roots of substance abuse and mental health disorders

This foundation sets the stage for a more successful and effective treatment experience for your substance use disorder.

Residential Treatment and Inpatient Treatment for Drug Addiction

Once detox is complete, transitioning into residential treatment or inpatient treatment offers the structure and stability needed for transformative healing.

Why Choose Residential Treatment?

At our peaceful rehab center, you’ll stay in a safe environment designed to support your full recovery during residential treatment. Our treatment centers are staffed by compassionate, trained professionals who provide 24/7 care and emotional encouragement.

You’ll receive a personalized treatment plan built around your needs, which may include:

  • Group therapy for shared healing and peer connection
  • Individual counseling to address trauma, grief, or anxiety
  • Targeted care for mental health services, such as depression or PTSD
  • Evidence-based approaches to both drug treatment and alcohol addiction

A Holistic Approach to Healing

We believe in a holistic approach to recovery. That means treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—not just the addiction. Alongside clinical care, we support a healthy lifestyle through:

  • Nutritional guidance
  • Exercise and movement
  • Mindfulness-based techniques
  • Education on relapse prevention and addiction medicine

Our goal is a successful outcome across all areas of your life and relief from your substance use disorder.

Intensive Outpatient & Partial Hospitalization

Not everyone needs or is ready for full-time residential care. That’s why we offer flexible options like intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP)—designed to meet you where you are in your journey.

What Is IOP and PHP?

  • Intensive outpatient programs offer structured therapy several times a week while allowing you to live at home
  • Partial hospitalization programs provide more support than IOP but less intensity than inpatient care
  • Both programs provide access to mental health treatment, group therapy, and individual counseling

These levels of care are ideal for clients who have completed detox or residential treatment and are ready to begin reintegrating into daily life with the right support in place.

Personalized Care from a Compassionate Team

Throughout outpatient care, you’ll receive:

  • Access to health care services and mental health treatment
  • Guidance from medical professionals and your dedicated treatment team
  • Support with co-existing mental health conditions or co-occurring disorders

This flexible structure ensures that recovery for your substance use disorder remains a part of your daily rhythm without overwhelming your responsibilities.
