Opioid Detox Program in Los Angeles, California

Excessive opioid use can lead to psychological and physical dependence that is difficult to overcome on your own. This class of drugs includes morphine, oxycodone and fentanyl, which act directly on your brain’s pain receptors and reward centers. For this reason, they are highly addictive, and many people become addicted to opioids very quickly. 

Opioid withdrawal may set in within hours of last use and can be extremely physically and psychologically uncomfortable. Without proper support, many people who attempt to quit abusing opiates without professional assistance will relapse. Clear Behavioral Health can help you during this process by assisting you through opioid detox in a safe, home-like facility so you can prepare for the next stages of recovery. 

Many mental health and addiction treatment services available today are isolated services, meaning you have to search for each level of care individually. You might find a detox program in one place, but have to look for therapy sessions elsewhere, and go through the hassle to verify each service is in-network with your insurance.

At Clear Behavioral Health, we’ve built our programs to specifically bridge that gap and offer all of the mental health and addiction services under one roof, and in-network with most insurance providers. From residential detox and rehab to outpatient individual and group therapy sessions, our care continues. So you can focus on the most important thing, your healing, and leave the paperwork to us.

You’ll begin with a full medical assessment to determine the severity of your opioid addiction, the accompanying symptoms, and where you are in your recovery journey.

Once we can identify your needs and how we can best help you, we will work with you to create a personalized treatment program and you can begin the detox process to clear all traces of opioids or opiates from your system. 

Once you stop taking opiates, your brain will still act as though it needs them in order to function, resulting in an overwhelming emotional response as withdrawal symptoms set in.

Because there is an imbalance in neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, you may experience significant psychological effects, including anxiety, depression, cognitive changes and insomnia. The urge to use them again can be overwhelming without the proper physical and psychological support. 

While people may initially take opiates as a way to control or manage pain and stress, long-term use increases adverse risks. This risk intensifies as the quantity and strength of drugs used increases.

Some people may start off using prescription opioids like hydrocodone and oxycodone. However, over time, they may start using heroin or fentanyl in an attempt to achieve their desired effects, which leads to an increased risk of overdose and death.
