Addiction Medicine Specialist 's  Response
Hello,

Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, changes in behavior such as being quite unpleasant to people, the use of inappropriate language, and starting a conversation with someone you want answers from are signs of mental changes associated with addiction. Generally stimulants or alcohol, not so common with opiates.

Medication-assisted treatment basically works on this. Getting naloxone rescue medication might be even more important.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
