Pain Management and Addiction

Pain management is necessary for people suffering from injuries and chronic pain. Effective pain management often requires powerful pain killers. For people in pain, addiction to opiate pain medications is a real risk. Pain management drugs such as OxyContin, Percocet, Percodan, OxyCodone, Morphine, Codeine and Vicodin are called opiates. Persons taking prescription opiate/opioid (narcotic pain) medications may become physiologically dependent and/or addicted. These are powerful medications that can cause strong cravings which make it very difficult to discontinue comfortably and safely without medical treatment, especially if a person still suffers from the pain the drugs are intended to ease.

Schick Shadel Hospital offers safe and comfortable medical detoxification from these medications, as well as rehabilitation and treatment to promote future abstinence. Opioid substitution, for example methadone and buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) are NOT used at Schick Shadel Hospital. We will detoxify and/or treat persons who are using prescription opiates/opioids orally, intranasally (snorting) or by inhalation (smoking). Schick Shadel Hospital does not detoxify nor treat persons who are primarily intravenous users of prescription opiates/opioids or heroin.
