Understanding Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)
Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is a medical condition characterized by an inability to stop using opioids despite negative consequences. This disorder is often accompanied by physical dependence and severe withdrawal symptoms, which can make recovery challenging. Many who suffer from opioid addiction require structured, professional treatment to break the cycle and manage opioid dependence.
Opioid use disorder (OUD) often develops after prolonged use of prescription opioids for pain relief. Over time, tolerance can develop, leading people to misuse these medications, resulting in opioid addiction. Unfortunately, the misuse of opioids increases the risk of opioid overdose and opioid crisis scenarios, highlighting the need for effective treatment solutions.
The Symptoms of Opioid Addiction
People struggling with opioid addiction may display a variety of symptoms, including:
-
Strong cravings for opioids
-
Loss of control over drug use
-
Neglect of daily life responsibilities
-
Severe withdrawal symptoms when not using opioids
Without intervention, opioid addiction may lead to severe health problems, including the risk of drug overdose. Recognizing these symptoms early and seeking help is critical for long-term recovery.

Treatment Options for Opioid Use Disorder
Mountain Sky Recovery offers a variety of treatment services designed to help people recover from opioid addiction. We focus on scientifically proven methods and compassionate care, recognizing that opioid addiction treatment must be comprehensive and individualized.
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
MAT combines medications with counseling to treat opioid addiction. Common medications used in MAT include:- Methadone: Helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
- Buprenorphine: Reduces cravings and can be prescribed in a doctor’s office.
- Naltrexone: Blocks the effects of opioids and helps prevent relapse.
These medications help ease symptoms and reduce the risk of opioid overdose by stabilizing brain chemistry.
- Behavioral Therapy
Behavioral therapy is crucial in treating opioid addiction. Our facility offers cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), contingency management, and family therapy to help patients understand and change their behaviors. - Counseling and Support Groups
Counseling provides patients with coping mechanisms and the emotional support they need during recovery. We also offer support groups that allow individuals to connect with others going through similar experiences. - Additional Medical and Mental Health Services
We provide access to mental health services to address co-occurring disorders, such as anxiety and depression, which are common in those with opioid use disorder. Treating both the addiction and the mental health aspects leads to a more holistic recovery. - Prevention of Relapse and Long-Term Recovery
Recovery from opioid addiction is a long-term process. Our team is dedicated to supporting patients in daily life and helping them avoid relapse. We offer ongoing resources, including counseling and access to support groups.
Importance of Medications in Treating Opioid Use Disorder
Medications are a key component in treating opioid addiction. Methadone, buprenorphine, naloxone, and naltrexone help manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and protect against opioid overdose.
Methadone
Methadone is a long-acting opioid used in opioid addiction treatment to ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. Taken under medical supervision, methadone can help patients stay committed to their recovery process.
Buprenorphine
Buprenorphine provides pain relief and helps reduce opioid cravings without producing the same “high” as other opioids. Patients can receive buprenorphine in a doctor’s office, making it a more accessible option for many.
Naloxone
Naloxone is a life-saving medication used to reverse opioid overdose. This medication can quickly restore normal breathing in someone experiencing an overdose, making it an essential part of any opioid addiction treatment program.
Naltrexone
Naltrexone blocks opioid receptors, helping to prevent relapse by removing the pleasurable effects of opioids. It is often recommended as part of a long-term treatment plan for opioid use disorder.
Counseling and Behavioral Therapies
Counseling and behavioral therapies are core components of our opioid addiction treatment program. Behavioral therapy helps patients recognize triggers and develop strategies to handle stressful situations without using opioids.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps patients identify negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier responses. This therapy is highly effective in treating opioid addiction and other substance use disorders.
Contingency Management
Contingency management rewards patients for positive behaviors, like attending treatment sessions or passing drug tests, helping them stay motivated and focused on recovery.
Family Therapy
Family involvement is crucial in recovery. Family therapy strengthens relationships and teaches family members how to support their loved one’s recovery journey.

Testimonials
“Mike was my counselor for about 6 months. I came to him broken, sick, and deep in the horrors of addiction. I had completely lost all hope. Mike was the first person to show me kindness and compassion in a long time.
I’ve never felt comfortable opening up to people before, but Mike was able to challenge my beliefs and give me the courage to overcome my fears and break down the walls I had built up over many years of addiction. He took the time to listen to me and allow me to express the issues I was dealing with.
His direct but non-judgmental manner made hard topics easier to address head-on, which I really needed and appreciated. I now have 4 years sober and a life that I never thought was possible and I truly believe I would not be here without the care, patience, and dedication I received from Mike.”
Rebecka
“Since early childhood, the truth was hidden from me. The truth about my family, the truth about the world, the truth about love, and the truth about myself. I’m not sure he knows this, but Mike is the first person who ever told me the truth.
When I wanted to leave, he gave me reasons to stay. When I started to doubt my abilities, he gave me reasons why I shouldn’t. Most importantly, when I started to judge and focus on others, he gave me a mirror. Those are a small fraction of all the examples of some of the truths he told me.
Every year when I take a chip, I break down and cry not only because I am proud to still be clean, but because I’m thankful I let Mike tell me the truth.
I will be grateful for him until the day I leave this Earth, and I imagine I’ll do it clean because Mike gave me the ability to imagine it”
Rebecka
Mike has an amazing ability to relate to his clients and use his own experiences to guide you through whatever obstacle life throws your way. I’ve never felt more supported from any previous counselors or therapists and I highly recommend giving Mike a chance to help you get your life back.
I really never thought I could be sober, or live a fulfilling life and it was Mike that believed in me and walked me through the challenges until I could stand on my own two feet. 4 and a half years later, and he still checks on me periodically and makes me feel supported.
I can’t say enough about how amazing my experience was working with Mike, he truly cares for his clients and has the biggest heart and passion for helping people.”
