Opioid Addiction Treatment

Breaking Free from Opioid Dependency & Reclaiming Your Life
Opioid addiction is one of the most urgent and deadly substance use disorders in the U.S., affecting millions of individuals and families. Whether it’s prescription painkillers like OxyContin, Vicodin, and Percocet, or illicit opioids like heroin and fentanyl, these drugs hijack the brain’s reward system, making it incredibly difficult to quit without professional treatment.
At Mission Recovery Home, we provide specialized opioid addiction treatment programs that address both the physical dependency and the deep-rooted psychological and emotional factors fueling addiction. Through medically supervised detox, evidence-based therapy, and long-term recovery planning, we help individuals safely detox, regain control, and build a fulfilling, drug-free life.
What Is Opioid Addiction?
Opioid addiction, or Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), is a chronic disease that occurs when an individual develops a dependence on opioids, leading to compulsive use despite negative consequences.
Opioids interact with the brain’s opioid receptors, blocking pain and releasing large amounts of dopamine—the brain’s natural “feel-good” chemical. Over time, the brain stops producing dopamine on its own, making it nearly impossible to feel normal without opioids.
Opioid Addiction by the Numbers (National Institute on Drug Abuse - NIDA)
- Over 9.2 million people misused prescription opioids in 2022.
- 80% of heroin users started with prescription opioids.
- Over 106,000 overdose deaths were recorded in 2021, with opioids involved in over 75% of cases.
