What is Prescription Drug Addiction?
Prescription drug addiction, also known as prescription drug use disorder, occurs when individuals misuse prescribed medications—either by taking higher doses than recommended, using someone else’s prescription, or consuming drugs for non-medical reasons.
Commonly abused prescription medications include:
- Opioids: Such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, and fentanyl, often prescribed for pain management.
- Benzodiazepines: Such as Xanax, Valium, and Ativan, used to treat anxiety and insomnia.
- Stimulants: Such as Adderall, Ritalin, and Concerta, typically prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsy.
Signs and Symptoms of Prescription Drug Addiction
- Increased tolerance, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effect.
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or control use.
- Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home.
- Engaging in risky behaviors while under the influence.
- Physical symptoms such as drowsiness, confusion, or agitation.

Key Components of Our Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment Program
Assessment and Individualized Treatment Planning
Every client’s journey begins with a thorough assessment to understand their medical history, addiction severity, and mental health status. This evaluation forms the basis of a customized treatment plan that addresses each individual’s unique needs.
Medical Detoxification
For many, the first step to recovery is detoxification. Our medically supervised detox program provides a safe environment to manage withdrawal symptoms and prepare for the next phases of treatment. Our clinical team ensures that detox is as comfortable as possible, using medical support when needed.
Therapeutic Interventions
Therapy is a cornerstone of our treatment program, offering a range of modalities:
- Individual Therapy: Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to address the root causes of addiction.
- Group Therapy: Building community, sharing experiences, and learning from others.
- Family Therapy: Helping families understand addiction, heal from past traumas, and rebuild healthy relationships.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
For some individuals, medication can play a crucial role in their recovery. MAT involves the use of FDA-approved medications to reduce cravings and prevent relapse, always administered under the supervision of medical professionals.
Holistic Therapies and Wellness Programs
We offer a range of holistic therapies designed to heal the whole person:
- Yoga and Meditation: Encouraging mindfulness and stress reduction.
- Nutritional Counseling and Fitness Programs: Promoting physical health and well-being.
- Creative Therapies: Art, music, and experiential therapies that foster self-expression and emotional healing.

Recovery does not end when a treatment program is completed. Our aftercare services are designed to support individuals as they transition back into daily life.
- Outpatient Programs: Offering continued counseling and support while allowing individuals to reintegrate into their communities.
- Sober Living Options: Providing a structured, supportive environment that promotes sobriety and personal growth.
