Prescription Pill Addiction Treatment in Illinois

Addiction doesn’t discriminate. Drug addiction and alcoholism are diseases that can affect anyone, and even seemingly safe substances can lead to addiction. Over 18 million Americans misused prescription medications in 2017.1 People of all ages take these medications for a variety of reasons. Although these pills are prescribed by a doctor, there are still side effects including a high rate of abuse and addiction.

At Banyan Heartland, we offer prescription pill treatment in Gilman, Illinois that doesn’t judge or shame people. Instead, we are here to help our patients overcome their addictions and start creating a foundation for a better and sober future.

 

The Rise in Prescription Pill & Painkiller Addictions

While prescription medications can come in several forms, one of the biggest reasons people need prescription pill addiction treatment is because of the alarming number of painkiller addictions. Many people are given painkillers after an injury or to treat chronic pain, but these medications are highly addictive when misused. The result is an addiction that only gets worse with time.

The United States is in the midst of an opioid epidemic and painkillers are a large part of the growing problem. On average, over 5,000 Americans a day misused prescription painkillers for the first time in 2017.1 Unfortunately, without painkiller treatment, many of these people will eventually graduate to heroin because it is more potent and tends to be cheaper. We also offer heroin treatment in Gilman to help those patients who have taken this path.

 

Signs of Prescription Pill Addition in Your Loved One
