Prescription drug addiction can happen when a medication prescribed by a doctor is used in a way not intended by the prescribing doctor. Prescription drug abuse, addiction or problematic use can mean everything from taking a friend’s prescribed painkiller for your own headache to snorting or injecting ground-up prescriptions pills to get high.
Anyone, at any age, can become addicted to prescription drugs such as opioid painkillers, anti-anxiety medicines, stimulants and sedatives. If you think you have, or a loved one has, a problem with prescription drug use, we can help.
It takes a lot of courage to admit that you need help for an addiction to prescription drugs, but the first step is often the hardest. When you reach out for support, know that help is here.
With abstinence-based treatment, even those with the most serious of addictions can find renewed health and healing, and a truly transformative experience.
Addiction to prescribed drugs is serious and effective help is available. It starts with you seeking help. Then, the journey to healing and recovery can begin.
