Opioid Treatment in Indiana
Opioids are prescribed by members of the medical and mental health communities to help patients reduce the intensity and severity of chronic or persistent pain. Opioids are also frequently used to help patients struggling with persistent pain from chronic diseases such as cancer or post-surgical recovery. Opioids are also referred to as narcotics. While many are legal, some are man-made (or manufactured), making them illegal for use or sale. Prescription opioids are highly beneficial and effective when used as directed by a medical provider. However, they also carry a significant risk for dependency and addiction. Opioids are a class of drugs that include illicit substances such as heroin, manufactured drugs including fentanyl, and prescription pain medications like morphine, Vicodin, and oxycodone.
Opioids work within the central nervous system, meaning they impact the function of the brain, spinal cord, and other related body systems. Opioid drugs attach specific receptor sites in the brain, successfully blocking pain messages sent from the body to the brain through the nervous system. When you use opioids (whether legal or prescription), pain becomes manageable and, for some people, disappears altogether. Unfortunately, the effects of opioids are not long-lasting, and once the effects wear off the pain and discomfort return. This vicious circle of misuse leads someone who struggles with opioid dependency or addiction to use opioids in larger and more frequent doses to consistently dull pain and discomfort.

Indiana Opioid Statistics
In 2017 more than 1800 Indiana residents lost their lives to drug-related overdose. This data points to a decades-long annual increase in overdose deaths. Representing the highest drug overdose rate yet, 2017 statistics were nearly 22% higher than 2016 and higher than the national average. In 63% of overdose cases, opioids were involved.
The Indiana State Department of Health indicates the opioid epidemic in the state has occurred in three distinct waves. Beginning in 1999, the first wave was linked to increases in the rates of prescribed opioids. The second wave started a few years later when those who now struggled with opioid addiction (to prescription drugs) could no longer access prescriptions legally. Hence, they turned to a cheaper and easier to acquire alternative, heroin. The third wave began around 2014, driven by manufactured opioids such as fentanyl.
Although fentanyl-related deaths continue to rise, the heroin epidemic remains alive and well in Indiana. In 2018, heroin was found in more than 1200 drug case submissions (compared to 680 cases linked to fentanyl). Both of these statistics represent a stark increase over just five years prior when heroin was indicated in just over 1000 cases and fentanyl in only 15.
Data from the same report indicates heroin addiction in Indiana impacts the genders differently. When examining overdose statistics for 2017, males accounted for more than 60% of overdose cases. The majority of deaths were among whites (80%) individuals between ages 30-39.
Within Indiana, rates of overdose death also vary depending on location in the state. Although urban and rural areas have seen rising rates of opioid-related death in recent years, specific rural counties such as Fayette, Wayne, and Scott have experienced notably high death rates.
Knowing the Signs
When To Get Help for Opioid Addiction
When opioids are prescribed as part of a pain management plan, they are meant to be used for a short course of treatment. Extended or long-term opioid use can quickly lead to dangerous tolerance and, eventually, addiction. When you develop a tolerance to the effects of opioid drugs, it can lead to significant physical and psychological effects. Also, if you are physically dependent on opioids and try to reduce or stop using them, you will experience withdrawal symptoms. The intensity and severity of withdrawal symptoms will vary based on various factors, including the type of drug used, the severity of your addiction, and how long you used it. Another factor includes the type of opioid used. Common opioids that lead to withdrawal symptoms when you stop using include morphine, oxycodone, codeine, hydrocodone, and illicit drugs like heroin.
The speed at which withdrawal symptoms occur will depend on the substance used. In some cases they can occur in as few as six hours after your last dose and last for three weeks or more. The severity and intensity of withdrawal symptoms are unique to the person. They also depend on a range of factors including how long you have been using, the severity of your addiction and whether you have tried to quit opioid abuse before and experienced relapse.
Detoxing from opioids can be dangerous and should not be attempted without the support and guidance of an Indiana opioid treatment program. Symptoms experienced during opioid withdrawal may be mild, moderate or severe. Common symptoms experienced during withdrawal may include sweating, anxiety, nausea and vomiting, agitation, sleeping difficulties, body aches and pains, and gastric disturbances.
Some people may experience severe withdrawal symptoms including irregular heartbeat, seizures, difficulties breathing and delirium tremens (DTs). These more severe symptoms experienced during opioid withdrawal make choosing a medically assisted detox program vital to your health and safety. As part of a medically supported detox program at Evolve, our skilled team of treatment professionals will support and guide you through all stages of the detox process.

I don’t even know where to begin. Addiction doesn’t care what family or person it chooses to effect and it’s definitely a long and tough journey not only for the addict but also for the loved ones included. My first call was to Marty and he immediately arranged a force to go and talk to my son. Guided me in the process and made it easy during a rough time in our lives. Tyson took time away to welcome my son to the Evolve house at midnight bc it was the only flight we could get him back due to Covid and he welcomed my son and never once looked upset that it was late and helped him get set up and took time from his personal life to do that for us. Whitney whose a amazing counselor and my son loved her. There is a millions things and examples of what each of them did to help take care of my son through the process but when you walk into Evolve you feel calm, like family and mostly loved. When you meet Joe you just immediately feel his genuineness and his heart for everyone. My son loved him and his choice of music 😂 Mike Reynolds who also was amazing to my son and I can’t thank him enough. But mostly my biggest thanks and appreciation goes to Brian Kendrick. For multiple reasons, when my son left Evolve and was in sober living he still took my son under his wing and treated him like his own. When we went through relapse he contacted each of us on the daily.
