A codeine addiction is a dependence on codeine, one of the most common prescription opioids. It occurs when people misuse or abuse codeine, leading to physical and psychological dependence.
Codeine addiction can have serious consequences for one’s health and overall well-being. It’s important to seek professional help for recovery and break free from the cycle of addiction if you or your loved ones are suffering from codeine addiction and abuse.
To learn more about codeine and the most common way of using it, read our article on lean addiction.
Our study showed that codeine use was mainly sporadic, but that a relatively large sub-group of users were dispensed repeated prescriptions of the drug in combination with other potential drugs of abuse.(Bachs, et al.)
Codeine addiction is characterized by symptoms that can manifest both physically and psychologically. Some common psychological symptoms of being addicted to codeine include:
If you or a loved one are struggling with codeine abuse and addiction, contact our drug and alcohol addiction recovery center and we’ll help you achieve lasting sobriety.
Codeine withdrawal refers to the symptoms that occur when a person abruptly stops or reduces their use of codeine after a period of prolonged and heavy use.
Physical dependence is a hallmark of codeine addiction. It involves your body adapting to the presence of codeine, resulting in withdrawal symptoms when drug use is reduced or stopped abruptly.
The effects of codeine withdrawal can be both physical and psychological. Some common symptoms experienced during codeine withdrawal include:
The severity and duration of codeine withdrawal symptoms vary depending on your level of dependence and the length of time you have been using it. Seeking medical assistance and support during codeine withdrawal is crucial to managing these effects effectively and ensuring a safe and comfortable detox process.
Overdosing on codeine can have severe consequences and potentially be life-threatening. The effects of a codeine overdose include:
If someone is suspected of overdosing on codeine, seek immediate medical help by calling emergency services. Prompt medical intervention can be critical in preventing serious complications and saving lives.
Remember that codeine misuse and overdose can be prevented by using medications as prescribed and seeking appropriate help for codeine addiction and abuse.
Codeine addiction treatment centers provide tailored interventions and therapies to effectively treat codeine dependence and help people achieve lasting recovery. These programs offer a comprehensive approach, addressing the physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of codeine addiction to promote healing and long-term sobriety.
By seeking professional treatment for codeine addiction at Ardu, you will receive the necessary support and guidance to successfully overcome your addiction and build a healthier, drug-free life. Most people start with codeine detox, and then move on to addiction treatment or dual diagnosis treatment (if they have an accompanying illness).
Codeine detox is a process of safely and effectively removing codeine from the body while managing withdrawal symptoms. It is recommended to medically detox from codeine in a specialized detox center, such as Ardu.
Medical detox centers provide comprehensive care and support during the detox process, including the use of medication-assisted treatment to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings. This approach ensures a safer and more comfortable detox experience while laying the foundation for treating codeine addiction.
By combining medical supervision, psychological support, and holistic therapies, we ensure that you receive the necessary care to navigate the codeine detox process and start your journey towards recovery. Learn more about our drug detox process.

Our codeine rehab program offers various levels of care to cater to the unique needs of people seeking recovery from codeine addiction.

Codeine dependent users were more likely to seek help on the Internet to control their use of codeine than from a general practitioner, which may indicate a potential for greater specialized addiction treatment demand through increased identification and referrals in primary care. (Kimergard, et al.)
Inpatient treatment, also known as a residential treatment program, involves living at a treatment facility for a specified period. This treatment option offers a structured environment with 24/7 support, making it suitable for people requiring intensive care and a higher level of supervision.
Outpatient treatment, on the other hand, allows people to live at home or at sober living facilities while attending therapy sessions.
At Ardu, we offer residential programs, as well as outpatient programs. Our outpatient treatment options include a partial hospitalization program (PHP), as well as intensive outpatient programs.
Various forms of addiction therapy can help you overcome addiction. At Ardu, we offer both group therapy and individual therapy options. Here are some of the addiction therapy services we offer and how they can help you overcome codeine addiction.
Co-occurring disorders, especially mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety, often accompany codeine addiction, requiring specialized treatment approaches that address both substance use and mental health challenges.

Codeine is not typically used as a primary treatment for addiction recovery, particularly in the case of drug addicts. While codeine may have therapeutic uses, the potential for abuse and addiction outweighs its benefits.
Codeine treatment typically involves professional intervention and comprehensive care. Professional treatment provides people with the support and resources needed to overcome codeine addiction. It may include medical detoxification, psychotherapy, counseling, and other approaches tailored to the person’s needs.
Street drugs that can contain codeine include illicitly manufactured drugs using cough syrups, such as “purple drank” or “lean,” which are popular among those seeking recreational effects. These mixtures often combine codeine with other substances like promethazine and soda.
Non-prescription use of codeine or any other controlled substance is considered drug abuse and can have serious health consequences. It’s important to seek professional guidance and avoid the misuse of prescription medications such as codeine.
There are medications available to help with addiction. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is an approach used in drug addiction rehab centers to support people in their recovery journey. These medications, such as methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone, can help reduce cravings and manage withdrawal symptoms, but they should only be used in a professional drug detox setting.
No, we do not have a treatment center for substance use disorders in California. However, if you ever seek treatment options in Utah, we’d love to give you a campus tour and discuss our services with you.
Yes, Ardu does offer opiates addiction treatment. Our treatment programs are designed to address the unique needs of people struggling with opiate addiction, offering a range of evidence-based therapies and interventions. Read about our opiate addiction treatment services to learn more.
No, synthetic marijuana, also known as synthetic cannabinoids or “spice,” does not typically contain codeine. Synthetic cannabinoids are chemically designed substances that mimic the effects of THC, the active compound in natural marijuana. Codeine, on the other hand, is an opioid medication used for pain relief and is not typically found in synthetic marijuana products.
