Opioid use disorder (OUD) is one of the most common forms of substance use disorder (SUD) in America. Millions of individuals and families must navigate OUD each year. Treatment programs offering tailored care and an integrative approach often provide the best outcomes. Opioid rehab programs at Driftwood Recovery prioritize personalized care and use a wide range of evidence-based and alternative holistic therapies to address the impact of substance abuse.
Understanding Opioid Use Disorder
Opioid use disorder is one of the most common causes of preventable death and illness in the United States. The condition impacts all areas of a person’s life and significantly affects entire communities. Early intervention and treatment provide the best outcomes and reduce the risk of death or severe health issues caused by chronic opioid abuse.
Individuals using prescription opioids to manage pain have an increased likelihood of developing OUD. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “Anyone who takes prescription opioids can become addicted to them.” We provide pain therapy and management during rehabilitation to help clients manage chronic health conditions while participating in treatment.
Signs and Symptoms of Opioid Addiction
The signs and symptoms of opioid addiction include:
- Excessive and unusual drowsiness
- Changes to sleeping patterns
- Unintended or unexplained significant weight loss
- Persistent flu-like symptoms
- Lack of personal hygiene
- Self-isolating behaviors, including withdrawal from friends and family
- Reduced libido
- Financial distress and borrowing or stealing to acquire opioids
- Personality changes, including paranoia and increased aggression
- Mood swings and emotional outbursts
- Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities
- “Doctor shopping” to acquire multiple prescriptions for opioids
- Loss of productivity at work or school
We diagnose clients using comprehensive assessments and screening tools. Our programs are personalized to meet clients’ needs and preferences, allowing us to address specific symptoms and side effects during treatment.
The Impact of Opioids on Mental Health
Opioids affect multiple regions of the brain and various body systems, impacting mental health and overall wellness. In addition, many people with SUD have preexisting mental health disorders, worsening the symptoms of OUD.
Opioid use disorder affects mental health by doing the following:
- Increasing physical and emotional stress
- Causing depression, anxiety, and other mental health symptoms
- Reducing self-confidence and self-esteem
- Causing cognitive impairments
- Decreasing objectivity and impacting decision-making
- Causing personality and mood changes that impact relationships
Chronic opioid abuse may also cause psychosis. Hallucinations and other symptoms can significantly reduce a person’s ability to function. Rehabilitation programs address these issues and help clients heal using psychotherapy, prescription medications, and other treatments.

Opioid Rehab and Detox at Driftwood Recovery
We offer safe opioid detox and withdrawal management services at Driftwood Recovery. Some of our services include holistic pain treatment to help clients recover while living with chronic pain. Acupuncture, pain management therapy, and other complementary services help clients heal more quickly from substance abuse by allowing them to focus on treatment. Our team uses personalized care plans to ensure clients learn healthy ways to manage their pain and discomfort during withdrawal and ongoing recovery.
Therapeutic Approaches for Opioid Rehab
We use multiple therapeutic approaches to ensure clients can access appropriate services that meet their needs and preferences. Most clients benefit from a combination of psychotherapy, peer support, prescription medication, and alternative holistic therapies. We meet clients where they are today and lead them through transformation and healing.
Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping skills. We use CBT in group and individual therapy sessions. The skills and techniques learned in CBT sessions promote ongoing recovery from substance abuse.
Family Therapy and Support
Our family support services motivate clients to actively engage in treatment and make lasting changes to their behaviors. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), “Involving family members in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment can positively affect client engagement, retention, and outcomes.” We offer family therapy and services to ensure clients and their loved ones feel comfortable participating in treatment. Families develop healthier dynamics and grow together if every family member plays an active role in recovery.
Addressing Dual Diagnosis at Driftwood Recovery
We address dual diagnosis using a range of services and therapy options. Our luxury accommodations and comprehensive treatment programs provide clients with the tools they need to manage their condition. Dual diagnosis treatment enhances the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs by preparing clients to successfully manage the lingering symptoms of SUD and any co-occurring mental health disorders. Clients in dual diagnosis treatment often feel more confident in their recovery and experience fewer complications during continuing care.
Relapse Prevention and Long-Term Support
The addiction recovery and mental health experts at Driftwood Recovery use relapse prevention strategies to prepare clients for long-term sobriety. We educate clients and their loved ones on addiction and how symptoms may impact recovery. Our programs also offer additional alumni and aftercare support services to ensure clients continue to make progress after completing our programs.
Relapse Prevention Strategies in Opioid Rehab
We utilize a range of relapse prevention strategies to ensure every client adopts a plan that works for their circumstances. Studies have shown that “[t]hree of the most common relapse prevention strategies have included therapy and skill development, medications, and monitoring.” We use community integration, psychoeducation, aftercare planning, alumni support services, and other tools to reduce the risk of relapse. Aftercare programs, including our CIP, provide additional accountability and structure for individuals who struggle with maintaining sobriety.
