The Development of Prescription Drug Addiction
Prescription medication misuse and addiction have become an epidemic in the United States. With the increased availability of prescriptions, many Americans are struggling with addiction to prescribed medications every day. Once dependence on a substance occurs, a person may have a hard time functioning without the substance. This can lead to addiction.
No matter how someone becomes dependent on medication, seeking help at our prescription drug rehab center is a courageous and important step toward healing. Woodland Recovery Center is here to provide compassionate, comprehensive treatment programs for those battling prescription drug use and addiction.
Commonly misused prescription drugs include:
While these medications are commonly prescribed for legitimate medical reasons, they also carry a risk of misuse and addiction. Over time, the body can develop a tolerance, requiring higher doses to achieve the desired effects. This escalating cycle can quickly lead to dependency and addiction.
Our Approach to Treating Prescription Drug Addiction
Prescription drug use affects every demographic and can be devastating to a person’s personal and professional life. Individuals who are addicted to prescription medications are at an increased risk of health issues, self-destructive behavior, and overdose. There are numerous treatment options available for overcoming prescription drug addiction, offering hope and a path to reclaiming your life.
Woodland Recovery Center offers customized treatment plans for prescription drug use and addiction. Many patients benefit from medically supervised detox followed by inpatient and outpatient care.
Residential addiction treatment is often considered the most successful approach to substance use and addiction. This form of treatment requires patients to live at our rehab center for several weeks or months and undergo intensive and daily addiction treatment.
Outpatient treatment is another option for those struggling with an addiction to prescription drugs. This form of treatment is typically only recommended for people with a less severe substance use disorder or people who cannot get away from daily responsibilities for an extended period of time.
Our outpatient program consists of meeting with a therapist several times a week for various types of therapy. Individual and group therapy are the most common forms of treatment used in outpatient programs.
Therapies Offered at Our Prescription Drug Rehab
The most common types of treatment used to treat prescription drug addiction include:
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
MAT is when a less addictive substance is used to relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Currently, some medications can be used to treat opioid and alcohol addiction.
Behavioral Therapy
Counseling and therapy are integral parts of treatment programs for prescription drug addiction. Various therapies may also be incorporated into a recovery program. Behavioral therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) have proven highly successful in treating prescription drug addiction.
Alternative Therapies
We offer alternative therapies to support patients’ treatment plans. Alternative therapies commonly used in addiction treatment include yoga therapy, art therapy, and nutrition counseling.
12-Step Groups
12-step groups are often integrated into a treatment program for overcoming addiction. Many treatment centers will introduce support groups like Narcotics Anonymous (NA) to patients and encourage them to continue participating in the groups after treatment.
