The opioid crisis has devastated families and communities across the U.S., leading to a surge in opioid use disorder and opioid overdose deaths. In 2024 alone, over 90,000 Americans have died from fentanyl overdoses, highlighting the urgent need for effective opioid treatment programs. At Halo Mental Health in Las Vegas, we provide comprehensive treatment services that address opioid addiction through psychiatric intervention, medication management, and therapy. Our goal is to help individuals overcome opioid dependence and achieve lasting recovery.
Understanding Opioid Addiction and Its Impact
Opioid addiction often begins with the use of prescription opioids for pain management. However, prolonged use can lead to opioid dependence, making it difficult to stop without medical help. The Sackler family settlement and increasing awareness of OxyContin’s role in the opioid epidemic shed light on how pharmaceutical companies contributed to the crisis. Additionally, the Bush administration’s policies pushed people towards prescription opiates and with DEA crackdowns on doctors prescribing opiates, it has pushed people towards the street drugs.
