Opioid Addiction Treatment in Texas
Because prescription opioids are commonly prescribed, it is too easy for many people to continue chasing that high after their prescription runs out. Unfortunately, they often turn to heroin or fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine.
At Cypress Lake Recovery, we understand that painkillers are highly addictive and how difficult it is to stop using them. Opioids are dangerous and can be extremely deadly. We will work with you to reduce your emotional and physical dependence on opioids with holistic therapies for pain management and medication assisted treatment.
Whether they are synthetic, natural, illegal, or prescribed, opioid use consumes people’s lives. It can very difficult to recover without help. Our opioid addiction rehab treatment services are designed to address the underlying issues related to addiction and support your journey to recovery.
Understanding Opioid Addiction
Definition and Prevalence of Opioid Addiction
Causes and Risk Factors of Opioid Addiction
- Family History of Addiction: Individuals having a family history of addiction can be more susceptible to opioid addiction.
- Mental Health Disorders: Conditions such as depression and anxiety disorders can increase the likelihood of opioid addiction, as individuals may use opioids to self-medicate.
- Trauma or Stress: Experiencing trauma or chronic stress can lead to substance abuse as a coping mechanism.
- Prescription Opioid Use for Chronic Pain: Long-term use of prescription opioids for managing chronic pain can lead to dependence and addiction.
- Social and Environmental Factors: Factors such as poverty, lack of access to healthcare, and living in environments where drug use is prevalent can increase the risk of opioid addiction.
By recognizing these risk factors, individuals and healthcare providers can take proactive steps to prevent opioid addiction and seek appropriate treatment when necessary.

Types of Opioids That May Cause Addiction
The substance called fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that was created to treat pain in cancer patients. It is a potent pain killer used in medical settings. Illegal fentanyl is often mixed with other drugs like heroin, cocaine, and pain pills. Because of its potency, addiction to fentanyl is often fatal. Because it’s often mixed with other drugs, people don’t know they’re taking it and experience a more potent high than they anticipate or plan for.
Heroin is an opiate that has become infamous for its powerful addictive properties and high rates of overdose. It is often sold in white or brown powder, but is also available as a sticky dark brown “tar” that users can inject or smoke. This drug has a euphoric high that floods the brain with artificial pain-killing chemicals. Heroin addiction can become a problem for users of regular opioids that require a stronger experience as time goes on, thus resorting to illegal substances to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
Prescription opioids like morphine, hydrocodone (Vicodin), oxycodone (OxyContin and Percocet), and codeine are frequently prescribed as painkillers. But in spite of their prescription rates, they are as addictive as strong opioids due to the pain reduction and potential feeling of euphoria they can produce.
Many people who have had major surgery are prescribed painkillers and become addicted. This can eventually lead to heroin and fentanyl addictions, as the people prescribed these drugs may seek higher doses over time. They may also not have the support or coping mechanisms to handle the addiction that may come from using their new medications (even if they are following their original treatment plan).

The program at Cypress Lake Recovery works! I emerged from an accumulation of unrecognized emotions, issues of trust, and unresolved grief and loss. 35-days of effective integration of customized quality therapy reconnected my mind, body, spirit, and I am worth it! I had masked emotions and hurtful events for decades with alcohol. At Cypress Lake Recovery I safely focused deep within to unleash harmful secrets and self-degradation. Tools of recovery were practiced, not just presented. Integrative therapies were tailored to my circumstances, thus were effective. This residential program is like no other. For me, Cypress Lake Recovery delivered what was professed. I am forever grateful for this gift of healing.
