Opiate addiction is a dangerous and potentially deadly condition that requires long term treatment and care in order to promote recovery. It is recognized as a brain disorder that is caused by the use of opiate based drugs such as Oxycontin, morphine, oxycodone, opium, heroin and others.
Codeine is not as widely abused as some drugs, but it may get a person started in the direction of opiate abuse. A person could start with codeine and then end up abusing oxycodone or hydrocodone, which are more highly addictive. No matter what opiate or other drug is being abused, when a person canât stop using a drug and when his life is being damaged or even destroyed by the addiction, he needs help to quit.
