Treatment for Codeine Addiction and Codeine Withdrawal

Most of us don’t think much about codeine, other than noticing it listed as an ingredient in cold medicine. Did you know, though, that addiction to codeine could happen with regular intake of the drug over a two- to three-week period, resulting in the need for treatment for codeine addiction? Because of its use in over-the-counter medications, most users simply don’t understand how easily addiction can happen. They aren’t your typical addicts, either, making the need for information about the addiction and options for codeine addiction treatment more important than ever. Drug-Rehab.org, a nonprofit drug and alcohol rehab referral service, can help you learn more about codeine addiction and find the appropriate treatment for you or a loved one’s specific situation.

Signs of Codeine Addiction

If you or a loved one crave the drug and focus activity around getting and taking it, codeine addiction has happened. The increased intake of codeine results in feelings of restlessness and nausea, and abnormal breathing and loss of consciousness can occur. Immediate and long-term effects of codeine addition include tiny pupils and blurred vision; lowered heart rate, blood pressure and breathing; convulsions; hallucinations; damage to the stomach, kidney and liver; constipation; depression; and seizures. It is important to contact us for a codeine treatment referral before the addiction takes an irreversible toll.

Codeine Addiction Treatment Directory

The Drug-Rehab.org directory has more than 3,000 resources for the treatment for codeine addiction, from intervention specialists to treatment facilities. Because of our many years of experience in matching addicts to addiction treatment facilities, we can discuss with you or your loved one the particular situation and make referrals resulting in the best possible chance for recovery. We will want to discuss length and severity of the addiction and you or your loved one’s financial situation, plus the location in which the codeine withdrawal treatment should take place. Some addicts prefer to stick close to home, where friends and family can provide support, while others find it necessary to leave behind familiarity in order to heal.
