Opioid addiction has increasingly become an epidemic in America in recent history, with many attributing this growing problem to prescription painkillers.

Maintaining sobriety long term in the post-acute withdrawal stage will require ongoing effort as the psychological symptoms, like depression and learning how to cope without the use of drugs or alcohol, begin to surface.
