Prescription Drug Abuse & Addiction Treatment & Rehab Center in Fort Myers

Treatment for Prescription Drug Addiction at Park Royal

Most individuals who go to the doctor for medication take their medication as directed, in the amount prescribed, at the frequency intended, and only for the duration of treatment. These individuals then stop their medication as directed and go on with their lives. However, a rising number of individuals have developed an alarming trend across the United States – they take prescription medication for nonmedical purposes. This is called prescription drug abuse and each day, more and more people succumb to this.

Not only is this a dangerous habit, it can lead to a much bigger problem – addiction to prescription medications. There are three types of drugs that are most frequently abused. Narcotic painkillers, such as OxyContin, Vicodin, and codeine are used to manage moderate-to-severe pain in some individuals produce analgesic effects as well as a blissful state of well-being for the user. Stimulants such as Adderall and Ritalin are prescribed to individuals with ADHD or narcolepsy and for individuals who do not have these disorders, produce feelings of extreme energy and excitement. Sedatives such as benzodiazepines are used to manage anxiety and seizure disorders. When abused, these drugs can lead to feelings of happy relaxation.

All of these drugs can lead to physical and psychological dependence, which can produce withdrawal symptoms when discontinued. Someone who is addicted to prescription medications and does not seek help from a professional prescription drug addiction treatment and rehab center may attempt to cease use of the drug only to be met with unpleasant symptoms and side effects, leading the person right back to the drug. Addiction to these medications is not only dangerous, it’s illegal too.
