Overcoming opiates takes more than just clearing the body of substances; it demands a complete reimagining of how you engage with life itself. We focus on rebuilding your sense of self-worth and teaching practical skills for managing pain, stress, and emotions without substances. Through therapeutic community living and clinical excellence, we help you rediscover who you are beyond addiction.
What is an Opiate Addiction?

Opiate addiction frequently develops from legitimate medical circumstances, beginning with prescribed pain medications following surgery, injury, or chronic pain management. What starts as doctor-recommended treatment can gradually shift into physical dependence, where the body requires increasing amounts to function normally and avoid withdrawal symptoms.
The transition from medical necessity to addiction often happens without clear warning signs. Many individuals find themselves caught between managing legitimate pain and recognizing when their relationship with opiates has changed. Common side effects include constipation, drowsiness, respiratory depression, and increased tolerance, creating confusion and shame that prevent people from seeking help.
Breaking free from opiates demands a specialized understanding of both the physical dependence and psychological components involved. Mile High Recovery Center approaches opiate treatment with the medical expertise and compassionate care necessary to address this complex condition safely and effectively.
Benefits of an Opiate Addiction Treatment Program
Opiate recovery requires understanding how these substances have rewired your brain’s reward system and pain processing mechanisms. Without this knowledge, many people struggle with cycles of temporary sobriety followed by relapse, not realizing they need specialized interventions to succeed.
Here’s what makes opiate treatment effective:
- Medical care to ensure a safe, comfortable withdrawal process.
- Alternative pain management that reduces reliance on opioids.
- Cognitive therapy to reshape harmful thought patterns.
- Physical rehabilitation is used to rebuild health after long-term use.
- Creative outlets that help process emotions in a healthy way.
- Relationship workshops that strengthen communication and boundaries.
- Ongoing support that stays with you long after treatment ends.
