What is opioid dependence? Opioid dependence is defined by the CDC as a problematic pattern of opioid use that causes significant impairment or distress. Currently, “opioid use disorder” (OUD) is the preferred term that has replaced opioid abuse, opioid addiction, and opioid dependence. It can be classified as: Mild (having 2 to 3 of the criteria) Moderate (having 4 to 5 of the criteria) Severe (having 6 or more of the criteria) Schedule an Appointment for Opioid Use Disorder Treatment New Horizons Medical - Addiction, Substance Use Disorder, Chemical Dependency, Mental Health, Psychiatry Treatment. Call 888-999-2041 How is opioid dependence different from opioid addiction? While many people use the terms dependence and addiction interchangeably, there is a distinct difference between the two. Both terms are now under the umbrella term “opioid use disorder”. Addiction refers to compulsion or uncontrollable urge to use a substance, regardless of its negative effects or lack of indication. On the other hand, dependence involves the body’s physical need to have the substance. Dependence can happen after using too much of a drug or using it too often, leading to tolerance or “getting used to” the dose. Withdrawal is a physical response that occurs if someone who is dependent stops using the substance or significantly reduces their dose. Schedule an Appointment for Opioid Use Disorder Treatment Addiction has many factors, including genetics, family history, environment, and the substance being used. There are certain parts of the brain that contribute to addiction, primarily the “reward center”. Some substances, like nicotine and opioids, are highly addictive because they stimulate the reward center of the brain which releases a flood of feel-good hormones like dopamine and endorphins. Unfortunately, these effects are not permanent and once the “high” wears off, some people find themselves wanting more and more. This is dubbed by some people as, “chasing the high” or “getting their fix”. In short: opioid dependence involves physical changes which make the body want the drug, while addiction is the mental or behavior changes associated with it. Most people who are addicted are also dependent, but not everyone who is dependent is addicted.

Utegemezi wa dawa za kulevya ni nini? Utegemezi wa opioid hufafanuliwa na CDC kama muundo wa shida wa matumizi ya opioid ambayo husababisha kupungua kwa nguvu au shida. Kwa sasa, "ugonjwa wa matumizi ya opioid" (OUD) ni neno linalopendekezwa ambalo limebadilisha matumizi mabaya ya opioid, ulevi wa opioid, na utegemezi wa opioid. "Hii inaweza kuwa: ""Mali ya kupendeza"" (kuchukua vipimo vya 2 hadi 3) ""Mali ya wastani"" (kuchukua vipimo vya 4 hadi 5) ""Mali ya uzito"" (kuchukua vipimo vya 6 au zaidi) ""Panga miadi ya matibabu ya ugonjwa wa matumizi ya opioid"" (New Horizons Medical - Addiction, Substance Use Disorder, Chemical Dependence, Mental Health, Psychiatry Treatment)." "Kama ilivyoelezwa katika makala ya ""Utegemezi wa Opioid"" na ""Utawala wa Opioid"" katika makala ya ""Utawala wa Opioid"" na ""Utawala wa Opioid"" katika makala ya ""Utawala wa Opioid"" na ""Utawala wa Opioid"" katika makala ya ""Utawala wa Opioid""" Ingawa watu wengi hutumia maneno utegemezi na uraibu kwa njia tofauti, kuna tofauti kubwa kati ya maneno hayo mawili. Maneno yote mawili sasa yako chini ya neno la kifuniko <unk> ugonjwa wa matumizi ya opioid<unk>. Uraibu ni hisia ya kulazimishwa au ya kukosa kudhibitiwa ya kutumia dawa, bila kujali athari zake mbaya au ukosefu wa dalili. Kwa upande mwingine, utegemezi huhusisha uhitaji wa kimwili wa mwili wa kuwa na dutu hiyo. Utegemezi unaweza kutokea baada ya kutumia dawa nyingi sana au kuitumia mara nyingi sana, na kusababisha uvumilivu au "kuzoea" kipimo. Uondoaji ni athari ya kimwili ambayo hutokea wakati mtu anayejitegemea anapoacha kutumia dawa au kupunguza kiasi chake. Ugonjwa wa uraibu una sababu nyingi, kutia ndani chembe za urithi, historia ya familia, mazingira, na dawa inayotumiwa. Kuna sehemu fulani za ubongo zinazochangia uraibu, hasa "kituo cha thawabu". Vitu kama vile nikotini na opioids ni addictive kwa sababu wao kuchochea thawabu kituo cha ubongo ambayo releases mafuriko ya kujisikia vizuri homoni kama dopamine na endorphins. Kwa bahati mbaya, athari hizi si za kudumu na mara tu "juu" inapopungua, watu wengine hujikuta wakitaka zaidi na zaidi. Hii inaitwa na watu fulani kama, "kufuatilia juu" au "kupata fix yao". Kwa kifupi, utegemezi wa opioid unahusisha mabadiliko ya kimwili ambayo hufanya mwili utake dawa hiyo, wakati ulevi ni mabadiliko ya akili au tabia yanayohusiana nayo. Watu wengi walio na uraibu pia ni wategemezi, lakini si kila mtu aliye na uraibu ni mraibu.
