What Are Opioids?
Opioids are a class of drugs used to relieve pain. They include:
- Prescription painkillers like oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, and codeine
- Synthetic opioids like fentanyl
- Illegal opioids like heroin
These drugs work by attaching to opioid receptors in the brain to block pain and create feelings of euphoria. While they’re often prescribed for pain after surgery or injury, they can be highly addictive even when used as directed.
How Opioid Addiction Starts
For many people, opioid use begins with a legitimate prescription. After an injury, surgery, or chronic pain diagnosis, a doctor might prescribe opioids to help manage discomfort. But over time, your body builds tolerance. This means you may need more of the drug to get the same relief.
This can quickly lead to:
- Taking higher doses than prescribed
- Using the drug more often
- Turning to illegal opioids like heroin or fentanyl when prescriptions run out
Opioid use disorder (OUD) doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means your brain and body have developed a dependence. And that’s treatable.TruHealing Foundations can help.
How Opioids Affect Your Life
Opioid addiction impacts more than your physical health. It can change the way you think, feel, and function in every area of life.
Physical and Mental Effects
- Chronic constipation, sleep issues, and lowered immune function
- Brain fog, memory issues, and poor decision-making
- Worsening anxiety, depression, or trauma symptoms
Social and Professional Effects
- Strained relationships with loved ones
- Difficulty holding a job or attending school
- Legal trouble or financial instability
But just as opioid addiction can affect every part of your life, so can treatment. And that’s where hope begins.

Our Levels of Care for Opioid Addiction Treatment
At TruHealing Foundations in Maryland, we offer a full continuum of care to meet you wherever you are in your recovery journey.
Medical Detox
Opioid withdrawal can be uncomfortable and dangerous. Our detox program provides 24/7 medical support, and may include medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to manage symptoms and reduce cravings. Common medications may include:
- Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone)
- Methadone
- Vivitrol (naltrexone)
These medications are not a “replacement” drug; they’re tools to support your healing process while therapy does the deeper work.
Residential Treatment
After detox, you may benefit from our live-in residential program, which provides structure, therapy, and support in a safe, peaceful setting. This is where real, lasting recovery work begins.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
PHP is a strong next step after residential care, or a starting point if you don’t need 24-hour support. You’ll attend treatment during the day and return home or to sober housing at night.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
IOP provides flexible care that fits your life. You’ll attend treatment several days per week while still keeping up with your job, school, or family responsibilities.
Each level of care is tailored to your specific needs, so you always feel supported, not overwhelmed.
