Morphine Addiction Treatment
Morphine provides relief for many but can also create addiction in people. Treatment options are available if you or someone you love is struggling with a morphine addiction. Morphine addiction is a severe problem that requires professional help to overcome.
If you or someone you love is struggling with a morphine addiction, it’s essential to seek professional help. There are many treatment options available that can help those struggling with this challenging addiction. It’s critical to seek out an opioid addiction treatment program near you.
What is Morphine
Morphine is a natural opioid drug that comes from the opium poppy plant. Morphine has been used to treat medical conditions that cause moderate to severe pain since the early 1800s. Morphine is typically formulated as a type of sulfate, allowing it to be absorbed quickly in the body. There are two formulas for Morphine available in extended and short-acting Morphine. When a person experiences acute pain from a severe injury, invasive surgery, or other traumatic medical condition, short-acting morphine is prescribed.
Long-acting morphine is reserved for chronic pain conditions, such as cancer, palliative/end-of-life care management, ongoing musculoskeletal pain, abdominal pain, chest pain, arthritis, and migraine headaches. Long-acting Morphine is used to help manage pain 24 hours a day. Morphine must be prescribed by a medical doctor and is available in tablets, capsules, oral liquids, suppositories, and injections that are only completed in a hospital setting or emergency room.

Identifying Morphine Addiction
A common misconception about the drug Morphine is that it is not as addictive as other potent opiates because it is most commonly obtained from a doctor. The National Institute on Drug Abuse clarifies how all opioids can cause addiction regardless of whether they come from a doctor or not.

Morphine has a well-known reputation among substance abusers as an intoxicating opiate drug. However, since Morphine is more easily attained from a doctor versus on the street, many people addicted to morphine will begin to go doctor shopping to get more morphine. Doctor shopping is when a person sees more than one doctor get a drug. They will deceive their physicians on why they need Morphine to retain as many current prescriptions as possible.
Common Signs of Morphine Addiction include:
- Borrowing or stealing money to buy Morphine
- Frequently running out of Morphine and requesting more from the doctor
- Falsifying pain and going to the emergency room repeatedly
- Panic and concern when they are unsure if they can get more Morphine
- Changes in personality (constantly tired, agitated, disinterested in regular activities)
- Finding Syringes or glass ampules of Morphine in the home
- Nausea and vomiting often
- Buying Morphine from friends or drug dealers
- Experiencing Morphine Detox symptoms
Other indicators that someone has become addicted to Morphine are unemployment, missing school, criminal arrests, avoiding family and friends, appearing tired and sleepy a lot, low self-care routines(not showering or cleaning the house), and denying how much morphine they are using.
Morphine Withdrawal Symptoms
Morphine withdrawal symptoms can begin a few hours after taking Morphine. The withdrawal symptoms that Morphine addiction causes are usually quite severe. Attempting to detox from Morphine without medications and medical supervision is never recommended. Symptoms can cause dehydration from diarrhea and vomiting, irregular heartbeat, unconsciousness, relapse risk, and accidental overdose is urgent. The amount of time it will take a person to detox Morphine from their system is dependent on how long and how much morphine they are using. Their history of Morphine use will also indicate how severe their withdrawal symptoms will be.
Morphine withdrawal symptoms include:
- Flu-like symptoms (runny nose, sneezing, cough)
- Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
- Muscle cramps, bone, and body aches
- Anxiety and depression
- Inability to eat or drink water
- Cold sweats and fever chills
- Emotional outbursts (crying, yelling, anger)
- Elevated blood pressure and heart palpitations
- Restlessness
- Severe Insomnia
- Intense cravings for Morphine

I have been to several in patient programs and this one is by far the best. The food is amazing, they have great snack and ice cream machine available 24/7. The nursing staff works with you to ensure comfort while being here. The best part is you get to keep your cell phone on you 24/7. 1st place I’ve been to that allows phones even during detox. Very friendly staff and the owner even comes to groups and listens to feed back on how to make the program better.
