The opioid crisis continues to devastate communities across the U.S., including right here in Arizona. Synthetic opioids like Fentanyl are driving record overdose deaths, often due to their potency and prevalence in both street drugs and counterfeit pills.
Factors like stress, isolation, and reduced access to care—especially during the COVID-19 pandemic—have worsened the crisis.
If you or someone you love is struggling with opioid misuse,
seeking medically supervised detox and trauma-informed treatment is essential for lasting recovery.
Opioids are powerful narcotics that include both prescription medications and illicit drugs. They work by binding to receptors in the brain to block pain and trigger intense feelings of euphoria. While effective in short-term medical use, opioids carry a high risk for addiction—especially when misused or taken over time.
Common Opioids Include
‣ Fentanyl
‣ Heroin
‣ Oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet)
‣ Hydrocodone (Vicodin)
‣ Morphine
‣ Codeine
‣ Suboxone
Many people begin with legally prescribed medications and later turn to heroin or fentanyl due to lower cost or accessibility. Illicit opioids are often mixed with other dangerous substances, increasing the risk of overdose, infection, or death.
Opioids trigger a flood of dopamine, the brain’s “feel-good” chemical, creating intense pleasure and reinforcing compulsive use. Over time, the brain becomes dependent, requiring higher doses just to feel normal. This leads to a cycle of tolerance, physical dependence, and high overdose risk.
Symptoms of Opioid Addiction May Include
‣ Increased tolerance or withdrawal
‣ Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
‣ Changes in behavior or hygiene
‣ Cravings or inability to stop use
‣ Legal or financial problems
Because opioid addiction involves both physical and psychological components, comprehensive treatment is essential.
