Definition. Peritonitis is inflammation of the peritoneum â a silk-like membrane that lines your inner abdominal wall and covers the organs within your abdomen â that is usually due to a bacterial or fungal infection.
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.
Itâs not uncommon for people to become addicted to opiates even after the source of the pain is gone. Neurontin â or its generic form, gabapentin â is currently being tested as a treatment for opiate withdrawal conditions.
