TRUTH ABOUT PAIN PILLS

Opiates elicit very powerful effects. Rapid detox counteracts them.

Opiates activate opiate receptors throughout the brain and body. Once an opiate reaches the brain, it rapidly affects that area of the brain in two ways: pleasure (or reward) and pain relief. Opiates replace natural substances that the brain itself produces, known as endorphins. Endorphins help control our respiration, nausea, vomiting, pain modulation, and hormonal regulation. Under chemical dependency, the opiate now takes control.

Stimulation of opiate receptors by opioid prescription drugs activates the pleasure circuit by releasing greater amounts of dopamine. This causes an intense euphoria. Though it lasts briefly, a contented sense of reward follows. Excessive receptor stimulation leads to addiction. Because this occurs gradually, many victims remain unaware that they need treatment like rapid detox until after they have become highly dependent.
