Treatment and Recovery Centres
If you find yourself needing immediate, urgent assistance, please go to the nearest emergency hospital.
Before you begin taking prescription opioid narcotics, their dangers, risks, and side effects should be thoroughly discussed with your healthcare provider, who should always explain specifically how these drugs might affect you, as well as any potential problems you may experience when you stop taking them. If you are already taking prescription opioids, you should be aware that it can be dangerous to suddenly stop taking any prescription drug – this should always be done under the supervision of a competent and ethical medical doctor, preferably one with special training in the use of prescription opioids.
