Drug & Alcohol Treatment
Codeine Addiction
An everyday opioid that can quietly build a dependence.
Codeine is a common opioid found in prescription and some over-the-counter medications, which can make dependence easy to overlook. Because it is milder and widely available, people often use it far longer and in higher amounts than intended.
Codeine dependence is real opioid dependence, and it responds to the same compassionate, supported approach to recovery.
