Recognize the signs of opioid addiction:

Opioid use disorder is defined by Johns Hopkins Medicine as a medical condition in which one is “not able to abstain from using opioids, and behaviors centered around opioid use that interfere with daily life.” It might be difficult to tell if a loved one is living with opioid addiction, but there are a few signs to look out for, such as:

• Weight loss
• Lack of hygiene
• Isolation from family or friends
• New financial difficulties
• Along with others.

If you suspect that a loved one is living with opioid use disorder, approach the situation with compassion and respect. Make your support known, and don’t try to force them to do anything that they aren’t comfortable with. At the end of the day, it is their life, they get to choose if and when they seek recovery.

MAT is a holistic form of opioid addiction treatment that utilizes a combination of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and behavioral therapy. MAT looks different for everyone, and you get to work alongside a medical professional to create a treatment plan that works for you. We won’t make you do anything you don’t want to, we’ll just give you access to resources that are going to give you the healthier life that you deserve.

Suboxone is a medication that combines buprenorphine and naloxone, and has been shown to be safe and effective in both long-term and short-term treatment plans. Studies have shown that MAT works to reduce withdrawal symptoms, eliminate cravings, reduce relapse rates, and it can even prevent opioid overdose deaths. If MAT is right for you, you will have a medical professional guiding you throughout the whole process–so you’ll have the support you need while getting treatment.
