Telemedicine Suboxone treatment for morphine addiction in Tennessee

Understanding Morphine

Morphine is a naturally derived opioid medication used to treat severe pain. It has been used in hospitals and medical settings for decades, often for post-surgical care or cancer-related pain.

But morphine also has a high potential for dependence and addiction. Over time, tolerance develops, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effect. For some patients, morphine misuse becomes a gateway to even stronger opioids like heroin or fentanyl.

At Recovery Care of Columbia, we recognize that morphine addiction can affect anyone, regardless of how their use began. That’s why we provide same-day Suboxone treatment across Tennessee, delivered through secure telemedicine.

Effects of Morphine Use

  • Pain relief
  • Euphoria and relaxation
  • Drowsiness and sedation
  • Slowed breathing
  • Nausea and itching

Long-Term

  • Constipation and GI issues
  • Sleep problems

  • Overdose risk, especially when combined with alcohol or benzodiazepines

Morphine Withdrawal Symptoms

Morphine withdrawal is painful and challenging without medical support. Symptoms typically include:

  • Intense muscle and joint pain
  • Runny nose and watery eyes
  • Anxiety and irritability
  • Restlessness and insomnia
  • Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
  • Severe cravings

Without treatment, these symptoms often lead to relapse.

Why Morphine Addiction Matters in Tennessee

Morphine is sometimes seen as “old-fashioned” compared to synthetic opioids, but it remains a commonly misused drug. In Tennessee, morphine prescriptions — especially in hospital discharge settings — continue to contribute to opioid dependence.

Left untreated, morphine addiction can progress to heroin or fentanyl use, both of which carry high overdose risks.

Effective Treatment for Morphine Addiction

We prescribe Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) to help patients safely stop morphine use. Suboxone:
