BBR No. 8689 IRECTORY “For years, I hoped that re- hab would work for her, but my hopes and dreams were crushed many times. Mary was using her- oin at that point and had started to give up on herself, but I refused to,” stated Lisa. Lisa found an outpatient pro- gram that offered medication coupled with counseling. After seven previous attempts at re- covery, Mary tried one more time and fi nally found success with the program. As of today, Mary is off opioids and is continuing on her path to recovery. “We were lucky in many ways—I know many people who have lost loved ones to opioid addiction,” said Lisa. “It is so diffi cult to watch someone you care about go through something as terrible as addiction, but you can’t give up. No matter how dire things may seem, there are op- tions out there that can help.” (No Commercial Vehicles) D-057 D Lisa witnessed this fi rsthand as her daughter spiraled further into addiction. As an adult liv- ing on her own, Mary needed pain medications just to function day to day. Unfortunately, this often meant being late to work when she ran out of gas—all her money was spent on pain pills at this point—or taking long lunch breaks to go out in search of opi- oids to keep from getting sick. “She was in complete mis- ery,” recounted Lisa. “She would get sick to the point where she couldn’t even get out of bed if she didn’t have opioids in her system. She would do anything to get her hands on pain medica- tion—sometimes even literally selling the shoes off her feet to have money to feed her addic- tion.” Mary was 19 when she went to rehab for the fi rst time. After 30 days in the program, she was discharged, but relapsed shortly after returning home. This was the fi rst of seven voluntary ad- missions to various inpatient residential treatment facilities in an attempt to enter recovery over the course of the next six years. Some stays lasted as long as 10 months. Each time, Mary re- lapsed upon release. “Many of the programs were focused on abstinence alone and didn’t treat my daughter’s addic- tion as a medical condition, and she relapsed every time,” said Lisa. “Some would not even dis- cuss medication. I worried about her tolerance levels going up and down and her risk of overdose being increased if she relapsed. I kept an overdose reversal kit just in case, and I was vigilant in watching for any signs of relapse. It was very stressful and disap- pointing to watch her try so hard and relapse every time.” Research has shown that combining medication with psy- chosocial support is a compre- hensive way to help patients with addiction, and including medica- tion with psychosocial support is now considered the optimal evidence-based approach to treatment.4 Treatment options in- clude naltrexone, buprenorphine and methadone, as well as psy- chological support such as cogni- tive or behavioral therapy.5 Some medications, such as buprenor- phine and methadone, mimic opioid use. Other options, such as naltrexone, block the effects of opioids.6 Treatment plans should be tailored to the individual, and people should discuss with their providers what’s best for them.7 Vehicle & Boat Promotional advertising section 850 will continue to run your ad until sold providing you call the Siuslaw News 541-997-3441 Before the end of the Month. 1973 DODGE BALBOA MOTORHOME 19’ EXCELLENT cond., Dark burgundy metal flake, sunroof, CD/cass./Radio player, Tan leather interior $10,500 Firm - Cash or Cashierʼs Check only.

Over time, science has shown a person’s brain can adapt to the regular use of opioids, leading the individual to need these drugs to function.3 Phone 997-8821 FAX 997-3723 Call Robert or Marcus 541-997-5970 • 541-991-7870 (cell) D-266 30 Years Experience • Reasonable Rates• Senior Discount • Lic. #209676 WINDOWS Yes!

Then, for eight years, that all changed.” Lisa is referring to her daugh- ter Mary’s addiction to opioids, an issue plaguing millions of in- dividuals in our country.1 Opioid addiction can have devastating consequences for those in the throes of addiction as well as their friends and family. Despite increased awareness around the issue of opioid dependence, care- givers may not recognize signs of addiction before the problem spins out of control. And worse, most are unprepared for the downward spiral that ensues. Mary’s addiction began when she started using pain medica- tions to manage back and knee pain caused by spending long hours on her feet as a waitress. The medications were not pre- scribed to her, but rather provid- ed to her by a co-worker. Mary didn’t see the potential danger in using them, since they were pre- scribed by physicians to people every day. Sadly, the danger was very real, and before long, Mary found herself physically depen- dent on the medications, spend- ing almost her entire paycheck on opioids. “I started noticing that Mary was less concerned with her ap- pearance. She stopped fi xing her hair or putting on makeup— things she had always been very picky about,” explained Lisa. “Then she became very with- drawn, moody and evasive. She just wasn’t herself.” After Lisa received a warn- ing from one of Mary’s friends about her pain medication use, she confronted her daughter one night in her room after she was acting suspiciously. Mary broke down in tears, admitted to hav- ing an issue and promised to stop taking pills. 2012 POLARIS RZR XP900 1986 FORD F-150 PROJECT TRUCK Commercial Space, 1000sq/ ft in Old Town for lease, 3-5yrs preferred. 1st & last required at contract begin- ning. $1,100/mo., has a cool- ing system in unit.
