Opioid Addiction Treatment

Opioid Addiction Treatment in Beverly Hills CA

Opioid addiction is a serious issue affecting many individuals across the United States, including in Beverly Hills, California. We offer several specialized facilities and programs designed to address opioid addiction through comprehensive care and evidence-based approaches.

Defining Opioid Use Disorder

Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is a chronic medical condition characterized by the compulsive use of opioids despite harmful consequences. It can develop from both prescription painkillers and illegal opioids like heroin.


Common signs of OUD include:


  • Increased tolerance to opioids 
  • Withdrawal symptoms when not using 
  • Failed attempts to cut down or control use 
  • Continued use despite negative impacts on health, relationships, or work


OUD is diagnosed based on specific criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).

Impacts on Mental Health Conditions

Opioid addiction often coexists with mental health disorders, creating a complex challenge for treatment. Depression, anxiety, and PTSD are frequently seen alongside OUD.


The relationship between opioid use and mental health is bidirectional:


  1. Mental health issues can lead to opioid misuse as a form of self-medication.
  2. Prolonged opioid use can exacerbate or trigger mental health symptoms.


This interconnection highlights the importance of integrated treatment approaches that address both substance use and mental health concerns simultaneously.

Process of Opioid Detox Treatment

Opioid detox typically follows these steps:


  1. Comprehensive medical assessment
  2. Customized treatment plan development
  3. Medication administration to manage withdrawal
  4. Close monitoring of patient progress
  5. Adjustment of medications as needed
  6. Transition to next phase of addiction treatment


The length of detox varies but usually lasts 5-7 days. We tailor the process to each patient's unique needs and medical history.

Managing Withdrawal Symptoms

Common opioid withdrawal symptoms include:


  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Muscle aches
  • Anxiety and agitation
  • Insomnia
  • Sweating
  • Diarrhea


Our medical team uses FDA-approved medications to alleviate these symptoms. This may include buprenorphine, methadone, or other appropriate medications. We also provide supportive care such as IV fluids and nutritional support.

We assess each patient's needs to determine the most appropriate level of care. Factors considered include:


  • Severity of addiction
  • Co-occurring mental health issues
  • Support system at home
  • Previous treatment history
