Opiates (heroin and morphine) are drugs that are extracted from the natural poppy plant. Opioid drugs (like oxycodone, hydrocodone and OpanaER) act like opiates, but are synthetic (manufactured) chemical compounds.
Detox From Dependency On Opiates (Like Heroin & Morphine) Is Very Similar To Detox From Opioids (Like Oxycontin, Percocet, Vicodin and Hydrocodone)
Some detox centers do not medicate their patients during withdrawal. This is known as “cold turkey” and at Sunrise Detox, we don’t believe in it. Opiate withdrawal symptoms can produce potentially dangerous health situations. The pain of the withdrawal symptoms can make it psychologically difficult to stay in a detox program. At Sunrise Detox, we use a medication that allows our clients to remain comfortable and alert during their stay with us. We treat any discomfort that may arise, which allows clients to detox with virtually no withdrawal symptoms. Call us today at (954) 869-9759.
About Opiates / Opioids
Anopiateis a narcotic analgesic (pain killer) derived from the Asian opium poppy. Morphine and its derivative "heroin" are opiates.Opioidsare man-made narcotic analgesics. Some or all of the chemicals in opioids are synthetic; not found in nature. OxyContin, OxyNEO, OpanaER, and methodone are the most common synthetic opioids.
Opiate and opioid are often used interchangeably. They are all highly-addictive painkillers. Perdue Pharma's OxyContin, was one of the first opioid drugs referred to as "synthetic heroin".
