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.”

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

“I really think she meant it,”
said Lisa, looking back on that
moment. “But at that point, it was
too late—she was addicted.”
Historically, opioid depen-
dence had been viewed as a
failure of motivation, willpower
or character.2 More recently,
however, scientists have proven
that addiction has a biological
basis whereby the repeated use
of opioids may lead to physical
changes in the brain. 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

(NAPSA)—“It’s just not
anything we expected,” ex-
plained Ohio resident and nurse
Lisa Roberts. “She was a typi-
cal, happy kid who did well in
school—a straight-A student.
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.
