Opioid Addiction: Understanding Opioid Use Disorder and Treatment Options
What is Opioid Use Disorder?
Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is a medical condition that occurs when someone uses opioids, either prescription or illegal, in a way that is harmful or causes problems. People with OUD may keep using opioids even when it causes problems with their job, finances, mental health, or relationships. They may also keep using even when they know it is risky, such as using needles when injecting drugs. OUD is a chronic disease, which means it lasts for a long time and can be difficult to treat. But people with OUD can and do recover. Treatment often includes medication and behavioral therapy. People with OUD often need ongoing care and support to stay in recovery.
