Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment

Prescription drugs are often seen as a safe solution for managing health issues, but when misused, they can lead to serious addiction problems. Prescription drug abuse can affect anyone, and it’s crucial to recognize the signs early and seek help. At Pyramid Healthcare, we offer a specialized program for prescription drug addiction, focusing on helping individuals overcome dependence and achieve long-term recovery.

Prescription drugs are some of the most widely abused substances in the United States. Some of the most commonly abused prescription drugs include:

While these medications are prescribed to treat medical conditions, their misuse can lead to physical and psychological dependence. Prescription drug abuse often starts innocently, with a patient taking medication as prescribed for legitimate reasons. However, the euphoric feelings these drugs can produce may tempt individuals to take more than prescribed, which can quickly spiral into an addiction.

Many individuals develop a prescription drug addiction after being initially prescribed the medication for a legitimate medical issue. If the drug provides a sense of euphoria or relief beyond the intended effects, individuals may begin taking extra doses or using it more frequently than prescribed. Over time, this misuse can lead to dependence, and when the prescription runs out, individuals may seek alternative ways to obtain the drugs, often leading to further harm.

The cycle of dependence can be hard to break on your own. If you or someone you love is struggling with prescription drug abuse, it’s important to seek professional help as soon as possible.

At Pyramid Healthcare, our approach to treating prescription drug addiction is comprehensive, combining behavioral health counseling with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when necessary. We create personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s needs to help them manage withdrawal symptoms, address the root causes of their addiction and work toward lasting recovery.

We often use medications like buprenorphine to help manage withdrawal symptoms for opioid users, easing the transition to recovery. Our holistic treatment options focus on the physical, emotional and psychological aspects of addiction to provide long-term solutions for those struggling with prescription drug abuse.
