It can be alarming to realize that a prescribed drug is causing more harm than good in your life. It’s even more frightening to recognize that you’ve become dependent on a prescription medication just to feel normal. This type of addiction is dangerous and can lead to long-term dependency and serious health complications. Fortunately, substance use disorder treatment programs can help. At Carmel Treatment Center in Los Angeles, CA, we offer a prescription drug abuse treatment program designed to support your recovery from various types of medication misuse.
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS CAN LEAD TO ADDICTION AND DEPENDENCE
Prescription drugs are effective and safe when used according to a doctor’s instructions. However, when misused, they pose significant health risks, including the development of addiction and dependence. When addiction occurs, a person may compulsively use the substance and find it impossible to stop without experiencing intense pain and cravings. At this point, seeking professional treatment may be necessary to break the cycle of dependence. Common drugs that can lead to these issues include:
- Opioids such as fentanyl, hydrocodone, and morphine
- Benzodiazepines like Xanax, Ativan, and Librium
- Depressants including barbiturates such as Amytal and Seconal
- Sleep medications such as Ambien, Lunesta, and Sonata
- Stimulants like Biphetamine, Adderall, and Dexedrine
- Methylphenidates such as Ritalin and Concerta
If you are using these drugs compulsively and outside of your prescribed guidelines, it’s crucial to seek help from a dedicated team of professionals who can guide you through recovery.
THE BENEFITS OF A PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE TREATMENT CENTER IN California
It’s not safe for individuals with a prescription drug dependency to stop using these medications on their own. In a prescription drug abuse treatment center, there is careful monitoring and control to ensure that the process is safe and free from additional health complications. This often involves the use of medications that help ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings by stabilizing brain chemistry.
At a prescription drug abuse treatment center like Carmel Treatment Center, you can safely discontinue the use of these drugs under professional supervision. Simultaneously, our team will work with you to address the underlying issues that contributed to your dependence, such as finding non-addictive alternatives for managing anxiety or sleep problems. You’ll also regain control over your health and decision-making, which is often compromised by the influence of the drug. Many individuals struggling with prescription drug addiction find that their decisions and actions are dictated by their dependency, but through treatment, you can reclaim your autonomy and well-being.
