Morphine Addiction

Morphine is a narcotic pain reliever most commonly prescribed by doctors for the treatment of moderate to severe postoperative pain. Because it is highly addictive, the patient needs to exercise care when taking it and adhere to their doctor's dosage instructions or a morphine addiction can develop.

The signs and symptoms of morphine addiction can include:

  • Memory problems
  • Diminished sex drive
  • Constipation
  • Missed menstrual cycles in women
  • Dizziness
  • Confusion
  • Breathing problems
  • Fainting spells
  • Seizures

The longer one uses morphine, the more pronounced these side effects will become. In addiction, when an individual is suffering from morphine addiction, every time they try to stop using the drug, they experience tremendously uncomfortable withdrawal systems which make is practically impossible to overcome their addiction without the help of a professional rehab.

  • Back and joint pain
  • Anxiety

  • High blood pressure
  • Insomnia
  • Runny nose & watery eyes

TESTIMONIALS

I know you will never believe it but it has been ten and a half months since I finished treatment and am still in recovery. I know you will say it may be more of a miracle that I finished rehab being that I was about as resistant a patient can be, but I am making it one day at a time. Special thanks to Robert.

This is to my therapist Bobby, who never gave up on me. I could never have made it through rehab without your patience. You taught me that I am worth it.

-- Bryan, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My life was a shambles, my husband wanted a divorce and my children wouldn't speak with me. I felt hopeless until we all got together for family treatment. While we all have some hills to climb, my recovery is solid. Who would have thought, 476 days sober. Love to all.

-- Patti P, Atlanta, Georgia

You guys were right when you told me to get right into meetings. They have kept me clean and sober and I have made a lot of good friends. Thanks for bringing meetings into rehab.
