NC TREATMENT FACTS

Someone who has overdosed on opioids need to be treated immediately, as the drug can cause respiratory depression and death when taken in large doses.
Most treatment programs for opioid addiction recommend participation in a support group (National Institute on Drug Abuse). Those who do not feel comfortable with 12-step groups like Narcotics Anonymous may want to choose another program like SMART Recovery.
Opioid dependence treatment usually requires a slow tapering process where the patient must be advised by a doctor and must never change their dosage on their own.
Opioid addicts are in the most danger of a deadly overdose during withdrawal or after just having detoxed (National Library of Medicine).
