Transformational Addiction Recovery Program in Maui, Hawaii
“Getting sober was the single bravest thing I’ve ever done and will ever do in my life. Not [running] a 5K—facing addiction and being courageous enough to acknowledge it privately with my family and friends, working hard at solidifying it, getting support around it, and being healthy. And then talking about it publicly. That is the single greatest accomplishment of my life.” – Jaime Lee Curtis
Opioids are medications that a physician typically prescribes to help relieve the pain a person is dealing with. Addiction is a compulsive, chronic, physiological, or psychological need for a habit-forming substance, behavior, or activity having harmful physical, psychological, or social effects and typically causing well-defined symptoms (such as anxiety, irritability, tremors, or nausea) upon withdrawal or abstinence.
Some examples of Opioids:
The overall short-term and long-term effects of abusing opioids can be very devastating to everyone involved. Not a single part of the individual’s life will remain untouched by the narcotic.

According to medlineplus.gov, Opioid addiction is characterized by a powerful, compulsive urge to use opioid drugs, even when they are no longer required medically. Opioids have a high potential for causing addiction in some people, even when prescribed appropriately and taken as directed. Many prescription opioids are misused or diverted to others. Individuals who become addicted may prioritize getting and using these drugs over other activities in their lives, often negatively impacting their professional and personal relationships. It is unknown why some people are more likely to become addicted than others.
In 2019, an estimated 10.1 million people aged 12 or older misused opioids in the past year. Specifically, 9.7 million people misused prescription pain relievers, and 745,000 people used heroin.
Emergency department visits for opioid overdoses rose 30% in all parts of the US from July 2016 through September 2017.
More than 760,000 people have died since 1999 from a drug overdose. Two out of three drug overdose deaths in 2018 involved an opioid.
