Understanding Opioid Use Disorder

Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a chronic brain condition involving compulsive use of opioids despite negative consequences. Opiates include both prescription painkillers (oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine) and illicit drugs (heroin, fentanyl). New Jersey has been among the states hardest hit by the opioid crisis, with over 3,100 drug-related deaths in 2022 according to NJDOH, the majority involving opioids.

Signs of Opiate Addiction

  • Taking opiates in larger amounts than prescribed
  • Unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control use
  • Strong cravings for opiates
  • Continued use despite physical or psychological problems
  • Tolerance: needing more to achieve the same effect
  • Withdrawal symptoms when stopping (sweating, nausea, muscle pain)
  • Neglecting major responsibilities
  • Social isolation or change in friend group

Frequently Asked Questions

What is medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opiates?
MAT combines FDA-approved medications (buprenorphine, naltrexone) with counseling and behavioral therapies. MAT reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, decreases risk of overdose, and is associated with better long-term recovery outcomes. SAMHSA and NIDA both recommend MAT as a first-line treatment for opioid use disorder.
How long does opiate addiction treatment take?
SAMHSA recommends at least 90 days of treatment for opioid use disorder. Detox typically lasts 7-14 days. PHP runs 4-6 weeks, IOP 8-12 weeks. MAT maintenance may continue for months to years, significantly reducing relapse and overdose risk.
Does insurance cover opiate rehab in NJ?
Yes. Federal law requires insurance plans that cover behavioral health to provide equivalent coverage for substance use disorders. Most plans cover medically supervised detox, PHP, IOP, and MAT. Our admissions team will verify your benefits at no cost.
What is the difference between opiate and opioid?
Opiates are naturally derived from the poppy plant (morphine, codeine, heroin). Opioids is a broader term that includes opiates plus semi-synthetic (oxycodone, hydrocodone) and synthetic (fentanyl, methadone) substances. In clinical use, the terms are often used interchangeably.
Can you detox from opiates at home?
While some people attempt home detox, it is not recommended. Opioid withdrawal, while rarely life-threatening, is extremely uncomfortable and often leads to relapse. Medically supervised detox provides medication to ease symptoms, reduces cravings, and ensures safety during the withdrawal process.
