How Opioids Affect the Brain

Long-term use of opioids can be dangerous. It can cause changes to the brain that affect your mood, impulse control, motivation, and feelings of reward or pleasure. 

Over time, the opioid receptors in the brain change. They need more and more opioids to achieve the same effect. The opioid receptors become dependent on the drug to function correctly. If you stop taking the drug, you may become physically sick, also known as withdrawal.

Opioid Withdrawal Treatment Trends

Wearable electrical nerve stimulation devices, particularly Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (“TENS”) and other forms of neurostimulation, offer a compelling new treatment option for managing symptoms of opioid withdrawal

While these devices have not yet been widely adopted as a primary treatment for opioid withdrawal, research and clinical experience suggest that they can be effective in relieving withdrawal symptoms particularly when used alongside more conventional treatments. DOWNLOAD PDF
