Morphine Addiction Treatment
Options
 Rehabilitation Centers
 One way to get rid of morphine addiction is by joining a medicated maintenance
program. Such programs offer detox treatments to minimize the withdrawal
symptoms and also reduce the chances of relapse through therapeutic treatment.
A number of addicts who want to overcome this addiction and family members of
many addicts opt for rehabilitation centers for various reasons. There are two
types of rehabilitation centers one is inpatient rehabilitation center and other is
outpatient rehabilitation center . Inpatient rehabilitation centers provide
residential options that are less hospital-like. Whereas, outpatient rehabilitation
centers offer programs that vary from days to week with different attending time.
 Morphine Agonists
 Another treatment option is using morphine agonists like methadone, suboxone,
andsubutex under the proper supervision of the physician. Methadone is an opioid
itself but less potent and is widely used in the treatment of heroin and morphine
addiction. Some reports suggest that methadone treatment success rate is in
between 60 to 90 if the treatment is carried for long-term. Treatment is carried out
by giving a controlled dose of the agonist on daily basis. Other than methadone
similar to methadone suboxone and subutex are also used starting from a dose of
8 mg.
