Dilaudid Substance Abuse Treatment
What is Dilaudid?
Dilaudid is just one of several marketed brand names for the drug hydromorphone (generic name). It is an extremely potent painkiller (analgesic) that is a central-acting opioid-based medication. Because it is a derivative of morphine, it is referred to as a semi-synthetic substance. It has also been classified as a narcotic where legal issues are concerned because the recreational use of Dilaudid is quite common.
The drug is prescribed as an alternative to morphine and is a narcotic antitussive or cough remedy. For the most part, Dilaudid is considered as being the most effective and strongest antitussive or cough suppressant on the market today. This is another reason that it has become so popular where recreational use is concerned. As a result of this, many addiction treatment and recovery centers in the US offer Dilaudid substance abuse treatment programs in order to help individuals overcome dependencies on this drug.
Dilaudid abuse and its adverse side effects
Chronic circulatory and respiratory depression is the primary dangers encountered with chronic Dilaudid abuse. However, the following side effects are the more common ones that are experienced with Dilaudid abuse and dependency:
- constipation
- dizziness
- euphoria
- lightheadedness
- nausea and vomiting
- sedation
- sweating
Although there have been very few massive overdoses documented regarding individuals who are opioid tolerant, if an overdose occurs the circulatory system can collapse and result in death. If any of the above applies to you or a loved one, you could be a candidate for a Dilaudid substance abuse treatment program.
