Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment

Woman smiles as she talks about how much prescription drug treatment has helped herPrescription drugs have been the topic of numerous debates in our society in recent years. Estimates say that around 116 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, which is growing, with the rising number of the elderly population and the injured military. The dilemma with prescription drugs involves risks, such as drug tolerance that requires constantly increasing drug doses, hypersensitivity to pain, and addiction.

Prescription medication addiction can become a gateway to more problematic substances, such as heroin, and if unchecked, can result in an overdose. For these reasons, seeking help and relieving oneself of the chemical dependency on prescription medications is vitally important. Reach out to Apex Recovery San Diego at 619.458.3435 to learn more about our substance abuse treatment programs. We can help you or a loved one find a prescription drug addiction treatment program that fits their life and goals.

About Our Prescription Drug Rehab Programs

Our prescription drug addiction treatment programs at Apex Recovery San Diego emphasize recovery by addressing psychological, behavioral, and pharmacological factors. Counseling therapy and complementary approaches and programs aim to help clients develop skills to cope with cravings and stress factors that prompted them into addiction initially. They also learn how to avoid tempting situations, live a balanced life, maintain their motivation, and manage relapse if it comes to that.

We provide treatment for, but are not limited to, the following medications and pills:

  • Benzodiazepines – Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, and Ativan
  • Stimulants – Adderall, Amphetamine Salts, Ecstasy, and MDMA
  • Opiates – Hydrocodone, Vicodin, OxyContin, Codeine, Fentanyl, Dilaudid, Lortab, and Morphine
  • Other prescription medications – Tramadol, Suboxone, Ambien, Methadone, and Percocet

Our clinical staff provides many available therapeutic methods, such as individual and group counseling, counseling for families, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). We are proud that we have the means to design a fully customized recovery plan for every one of our clients.

These theoretical approaches are backed by auxiliary programs focusing on well-being, holistic healing, and self-expression. This includes massages, recreation, yoga, meditation, nutritional counseling, and artistic therapies.

Detoxing from Prescription Drugs

The first step in substance use rehabilitation is detoxification, often known as detox. Detoxing from prescription drugs is only the beginning of a more demanding challenge. Detoxification only clears away the physical side of addiction, whereas the associated mental health and social issues remain to be addressed through an addiction treatment program.

What to Expect in Our Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment in San Diego, CA

Treatment can be done with the client either staying onsite in residential rehabilitation or with the client coming in for therapy and programs in outpatient treatment. The choice between these two types rests on clients’ needs and goals. Once clients have successfully detoxed from prescription drugs, our addiction treatment programs teach clients to learn coping strategies they can use to help maintain a drug-free lifestyle.

The counseling component of the treatment works very well when coupled with maintenance drugs for clients recovering from opioid addiction. A qualified healthcare professional must administer these prescribed medications at Apex Recovery San Diego. Maintenance drugs can offer support to the recovering client by combating cravings. Pharmacological treatment alone is hardly ever sufficient, but it is highly effective as an addition to counseling and other therapies.
