Opioid Addiction Rehab in 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

The Effects of Opioid Abuse

The repercussions of opioid abuse extend far beyond the individual, leaving a profound impact on every aspect of their life and those around them. From short-term consequences to long-term devastation, opioid misuse can ravage lives and communities alike.

Some of the devastating effects observed include:

Homelessness: Opioid abuse can lead to the loss of stable housing and a descent into homelessness, exacerbating the individual’s vulnerability and isolation.
Liver damage: Prolonged opioid abuse can inflict significant harm on the liver, impairing its function and potentially leading to life-threatening complications.
Seizures: Opioid misuse may trigger seizures, posing grave risks to the individual’s health and well-being.
Impaired memory formation: Chronic opioid abuse can impair cognitive function, including memory formation, impacting the individual’s ability to retain and recall information.
Structural and functional brain damage: Opioid addiction can alter the structure and functioning of the brain, disrupting neural pathways and compromising decision-making abilities.
Financial ruin: The financial toll of opioid addiction can be staggering, depleting savings, driving individuals into debt, and leading to financial instability.
Job loss: Opioid abuse can jeopardize employment prospects, resulting in job loss and exacerbating financial strain.

Opioid addiction is characterized by a compulsive urge to use these drugs, irrespective of medical necessity. Even when prescribed appropriately, opioids possess a high potential for addiction. Many individuals misuse or divert prescription opioids, prioritizing drug use over all other aspects of life, including professional and personal relationships.

Recognizing the multifaceted impact of opioid abuse underscores the urgent need for comprehensive intervention strategies, including prevention, treatment, and support services, to address this pervasive public health crisis.

Statistics on Opioid Addiction

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 one million people have died since 1999 from a drug overdose, with 3 out of 4 of those deaths involving the use of opioids. In the wake of the recent opioid crisis, Maui Recovery remains vigilant when recognizing and treating this affliction.

Signs & Symptoms of Opioid Abuse

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of opioid abuse and overdose is crucial for prompt intervention and potentially life-saving assistance.

By being vigilant and aware of these indicators, individuals and their loved ones can take proactive steps toward seeking help, accessing treatment, and preventing the devastating consequences of opioid misuse and overdose.
