Opiates can relieve pain, but can also cause physical and psychological dependence. Use can gradually change into need.
Peggy-Sue helps assess the situation safely and set appropriate help in motion.
Opiates can begin to determine how someone gets through the day, experiences pain or tolerates emotions.
Withdrawal symptoms, tolerance, craving and loss of control are important signs.
Stopping or gradually reducing use often requires medical supervision and a clear plan.
Attention is also needed for pain, stress, trauma or other reasons why opiates have assumed a central role.
Peggy-Sue helps clients and loved ones gain clarity and direction.
We consider which treatment, intervention or support is appropriate now.
