Morphine Detox and Rehab Treatment

What is Morphine

Morphine belongs to the family of opioids. It is a depressant of the central nervous system that removes the physical and mental pain. It is usually used as an analgesic for the necessary treatment after the operations and, particularly, for palliative care of cancer patients and AIDS patients who are terminally ill. It is the precursor of heroin. Morphine may be in the form of crystals, tablets, white liquid, tablets, capsules, salts, powder or syrup. It can drink, smoked, taken orally or rectally (suppository), injected or sustained-release (as a patch). It’s called ”Mr. Morp,” ”morph,” ”Unki” or ”Miss Emm”.

Its effects are shorter than those from opium that last between four and seven hours. However, they are five to ten times stronger than opium smoking.
