Understanding Prescription Drug Addiction

Prescription drug addiction can happen to anyone, even when medications are taken exactly as prescribed.

Common Warning Signs

  • • Needing higher doses to achieve the same effect
  • • "Doctor shopping" to get multiple prescriptions
  • • Anxiety when medication supply is low
  • • Withdrawal symptoms when not taking medication
  • • Neglecting responsibilities due to medication use

Risk Factors

  • • History of substance abuse
  • • Mental health conditions
  • • Chronic pain conditions
  • • Family history of addiction
  • • High-stress lifestyle
  • • Easy access to prescription medications

Our Treatment Approach

Medically Supervised Tapering

Gradual reduction of medication dosage under medical supervision to minimize withdrawal symptoms and ensure safety. Our physicians create personalized tapering schedules based on your specific needs.

Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive-behavioral therapy and counseling to address underlying issues and develop healthy coping strategies. We help you understand triggers and build skills for long-term recovery.

Alternative Pain Management

For patients with chronic pain, we work with pain specialists to develop non-addictive pain management strategies including physical therapy, non-opioid medications, and other interventions.

Important Safety Warning

Never stop taking prescription medications suddenly without medical supervision. Abrupt discontinuation can cause dangerous withdrawal symptoms including seizures, especially with benzodiazepines and certain other medications.
