Opioid addiction often begins innocuously, with prescribed painkillers for legitimate medical conditions. As tolerance builds, individuals may find themselves needing higher doses to achieve the same pain-relieving effects. This escalation can lead to dependence and, in some cases, a transition to stronger opioids like heroin. The cycle of addiction is perpetuated by the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms that occur when opioid use is reduced or stopped.
Heroin and opioid addiction is a chronic, relapsing disorder marked by compulsive drug-seeking and continued use despite harmful consequences. This addiction doesn’t only affect a person’s life externally—it significantly alters brain chemistry, creating physical dependence and triggering powerful withdrawal symptoms when drug use is discontinued. As the body adjusts to the presence of opioids, it begins to rely on the drug to function, making it incredibly challenging to quit without professional support. In the United States, opioid addiction has reached epidemic levels. According to recent data, over 2.1 million people suffered from opioid use disorder (OUD) in 2020, with the crisis showing no signs of slowing down. Contributing factors include increased prescription of opioid painkillers, a rise in illicit opioid availability, and the highly addictive nature of these substances. The physical and psychological grip of opioids often leads individuals into cycles of dependency, making relapse a common part of the struggle.

Research shows that approximately 50% of individuals with substance use disorders have co-occurring mental health conditions. This high rate of comorbidity requires an integrated treatment approach, as both conditions significantly impact each other. When mental health issues go untreated, substance abuse typically worsens, and conversely, substance use can exacerbate mental health problems.
Many individuals develop substance use problems while attempting to self-medicate symptoms of depression, anxiety, or trauma. Studies indicate that only 8.3% of adults with co-occurring disorders receive integrated treatment for both conditions
The most effective approach is concurrent treatment of both mental health and addiction by the same clinical team, which leads to better outcomes, reduced relapse rates, and improved long-term recovery success.
Research shows that addressing physical health and nutrition during substance use disorder treatment is crucial for recovery success. Poor nutrition and physical health issues can lead to treatment dropout and increased relapse risk, while improvements in physical health enhance motivation and quality of life during addiction treatment.
Substance use typically leads to nutrient deficiencies, damaged organs, decreased immunity, and poor eating patterns. These issues can threaten both physical and mental health, impacting vital organs and the nervous system. Additionally, different substances affect nutrition and metabolism differently – opioids impact gastrointestinal function, stimulants reduce appetite, and alcohol can cause severe nutritional deficiencies.
Treatment at Asana Recovery includes a nutritional assessment, balanced meals, and physical health monitoring to support healing and maintain long-term recovery.
Research shows that addressing spiritual health during substance use disorder treatment is a significant factor in recovery success. Studies indicate that spirituality can be approached through various pathways, including traditional 12-step programs like AA, secular programs like SMART Recovery, or holistic approaches that integrate mind, body, and spirit connections.
While AA emphasizes spiritual awakening as a key recovery mechanism, SMART Recovery offers a science-based alternative that allows individuals to incorporate their own spiritual beliefs as they see fit. Holistic approaches acknowledge that spiritual wellness, alongside physical and mental health, plays a vital role in comprehensive healing
Studies demonstrate that individuals who engage in spiritual practices during treatment show better outcomes, regardless of their chosen spiritual path. The key is providing options that respect individual beliefs.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
