Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment at Banyan Pompano
When people think of drug addiction, their minds go directly to illicit drugs like cocaine and heroin. However, even drugs that we think are safe, like prescription medications, can be addictive. Misusing or abusing prescription pills can quickly lead to physical and mental dependency. Misuse and abuse refer to taking higher doses than prescribed, taking medication more frequently than directed, taking prescription drugs without a prescription, and mixing these medications with other substances. Prescription pill addiction is an ongoing problem in the United States that began in the late 1990s. A spike in prescriptions has resulted in an opioid epidemic in California that has affected the lives of millions.
While people of all ages are prescribed prescription pills like opioids, it doesn’t mean they’re entirely safe. Our addiction treatment center in Palm Springs offers a prescription drug addiction treatment that doesn’t shame people with this condition but rather offers them a safe and effective way to heal and recover. Our Banyan team is here to help as many people as they possibly can achieve an addiction-free life.
Signs of Prescription Drug Abuse
The early stages of drug abuse aren’t always evident. An individual who has become addicted to a medication they’ve been prescribed may not send off any red flags to others because it’s their medication. As a loved one, you may not think twice about someone’s prescription pill use. However, as their dependence worsens, their addiction will become more evident.
The most common signs and symptoms of prescription pill addiction include:
- Neglecting responsibilities at work or school
- Decrease in performance at work or school
- Change in friend groups
- Sudden mood swings
- Odd or obvious change in character or behavior towards others
- Separating themselves from others
- Secretive behavior
- Unwillingness to talk about their drug use
- Doctor shopping, constantly changing doctors for more prescriptions
- Sleeping difficulties or changes in sleep pattern
- Decrease in or lack of personal hygiene
- Severe changes in weight
If someone you know is exhibiting any signs of a prescription pill addiction, do not wait to get them help. Before beginning prescription pill addiction treatment, patients will undergo a prescription pill detox. Our detox programs incorporate medical assistance (as needed) and offer patients 24-hour care and support. This process helps mitigate withdrawal symptoms and addiction cravings while safely weaning patients off of drugs.
