What Is Codeine Addiction
Codeine addiction is a serious and complex issue that affects individuals from all walks of life. Understanding the nature of codeine addiction is essential in order to tackle it effectively.
Codeine addiction typically starts innocently enough, with individuals using it as prescribed by their doctors. However, over time, tolerance builds, and higher doses are needed to achieve the desired effects. This can lead to dependence, where the body becomes reliant on codeine to function normally. Ultimately, addiction takes hold, and individuals find themselves unable to stop using, even in the face of negative consequences.
Recognizing the signs and symptoms of codeine addiction is crucial in order to intervene and provide the necessary support. Some common indicators include:
- Increased tolerance to codeine, requiring higher doses to achieve the desired effects.
- Withdrawal symptoms when attempting to cut back or stop using codeine.
- Neglecting responsibilities and obligations due to codeine use.
- Spending a significant amount of time obtaining, using, and recovering from codeine use.
- Failed attempts to quit or cut back on codeine use.
- Continued use of codeine despite negative consequences on physical and mental health, relationships, and finances.
If you or someone you know is experiencing these signs and symptoms, it is important to seek professional help as soon as possible.
Codeine Addiction Treatment Options
When it comes to codeine addiction treatment, there are various options available, depending on the severity of the addiction and individual needs. The following treatment modalities have shown effectiveness in helping individuals overcome codeine addiction:
-
Detoxification And Withdrawal Management
The first step in codeine addiction treatment is often detoxification, where the body is allowed to rid itself of the drug. This process can be challenging, as withdrawal symptoms may arise. Withdrawal symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, muscle aches, and anxiety.
During detoxification, medical professionals can provide medications and support to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and ensure a safe and comfortable detox process. Detoxification is an important step, as it prepares individuals for the next phase of treatment.
-
Inpatient Rehabilitation For Codeine Addiction
Inpatient rehabilitation, also known as residential treatment, provides individuals with a structured and supportive environment away from the temptations and triggers of everyday life. In this setting, individuals have access to round-the-clock care, therapy sessions, and support groups.
Inpatient rehabilitation programs typically last for a specified period, allowing individuals to focus solely on their recovery. This intensive form of treatment is beneficial for individuals with severe codeine addiction or those who require a higher level of care and supervision.
-
Outpatient Treatment Programs For Codeine Addiction
Outpatient treatment programs offer more flexibility, allowing individuals to receive treatment while still maintaining their daily responsibilities. These programs are suitable for individuals with milder forms of addiction or those who have completed an inpatient program and are transitioning back into their regular lives.
Outpatient treatment programs typically involve therapy sessions, counseling, and support groups. Individuals attend scheduled sessions at a treatment center but have the freedom to return home afterward. This level of flexibility can be beneficial for individuals who have strong support systems at home and can manage their recovery while still meeting their obligations.

Aftercare And Relapse Prevention Strategies
Recovery from codeine addiction is a lifelong journey, and aftercare plays a crucial role in maintaining sobriety. After completing a treatment program, individuals can benefit from ongoing support in the form of aftercare services.
Aftercare services may include continued therapy sessions, support groups, and regular check-ins with healthcare professionals. These services help individuals navigate the challenges of post-treatment life, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and prevent relapse.
Finding Hope And Recovery From Codeine Addiction
After completing a treatment program, individuals must have a plan in place to maintain long-term sobriety. In this section, we will explore the importance of aftercare and discuss various relapse prevention strategies.
1. The Importance Of Aftercare
Aftercare plays a crucial role in supporting individuals as they transition from a treatment program back into their everyday lives. It provides ongoing support, guidance, and resources to help individuals navigate the challenges of early recovery and maintain their sobriety.
Aftercare may include continued therapy, individual counseling, support groups, and regular check-ins with a treatment professional. These components ensure that individuals have access to the necessary support and tools to prevent relapse and address any challenges that may arise.
Ongoing education about addiction and relapse prevention is also an essential part of aftercare. Individuals learn to recognize triggers, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build resilience against potential setbacks.
2. Relapse Prevention Strategies
Relapse prevention strategies are designed to support individuals in maintaining their sobriety and preventing a return to codeine addiction.
One effective strategy is developing a relapse prevention plan, which includes identifying triggers, creating a support network, and having coping mechanisms in place to manage cravings and stress. Regular self-reflection and monitoring of one’s emotional and mental well-being also play a crucial role in preventing relapse.
Holistic approaches, such as exercise, nutrition, and meditation, can significantly contribute to relapse prevention. Engaging in healthy activities and maintaining a balanced lifestyle can help individuals manage stress, improve overall well-being, and reduce the risk of relapse.
We believe in Holistic Therapies.
Biosound Therapy
Biosound Therapy is the integration of Biofeedback, Therapeutic Music, sound healing massage, and guided imagery. The guided imagery selections on the Biofeedback Bed are designed to address the guilt, fear, shame and trauma associated as underlying issues for most dealing with addiction. These moving meditations begin with a journey to a completely relaxed state of mind. Then, utilizing a unique echo effect, powerful and positive affirmations are delivered. This combination helps the client overcome those deep rooted, negative patterns of thought and behavior.
- Relieves pain & stress
- Assists with Detoxification Treatment
- Lowers cravings, impulse behavior and racing thoughts
- Lowers anxiety & depression
Equine Psychotherapy
Equine-Assisted Therapy is used to treat patients challenged with everything from drug and alcohol abuse dependency and post-traumatic stress syndrome. The therapy takes advantage of the mental and physical exercise that working with a horse can provide. Equine therapy:
- Helps clients learn to identify and cope with feelings
- Promotes Effective Communication Skills
- Helps Addicts Better Manage Behavior
- Teaches How to Set Boundaries
- Restores Self-Esteem and Self-Worth
*This is an optional, additional therapeutic therapy available after clinical treatment hours.
Massage Therapy
Clients at Relevance receive weekly massage therapy from our Licensed Therapists. Some additional benefits include:
- Release of ‘feel-good’ hormones. According to the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), massage helps to increase serotonin and dopamine (feel-good hormones) and decrease cortisol which is related to stress.
- Reduce agitation and anxiety and ease sleep problems.
- Provides a natural, alternative method of healing, free of drugs.
- Helps with the removal of metabolic waste. Therapeutic massage triggers or stimulates the body’s parasympathetic nervous system. This in turn can increase circulation and promote the effectiveness of the lymph system. The lymph system helps to alleviate pain symptoms and is responsible for removing the body’s metabolic waste build-up.
- Provides the client with a connection to their body, and improves or increases body awareness.
