Prescription Drug Rehab

The Increased Need for Quality Prescription Drug Rehabs

Prescription drug abuse is a rapidly growing problem in the United States, yet in many cases, people who suffer from it aren’t even aware that they may have a problem. Because they are taking a medication that is prescribed by their physician, patients will rarely believe that they are becoming addicted to the drugs, when in fact, they are in desperate need of help from a prescription drug rehab. For many of these patients, they falsely believe that the drug must be safe to take, simply because it was prescribed.

Prescription Drug Rehabs and Abuse Stats

According to The National Institute on Drug Abuse, prescription drug abuse affects 48 million Americans (20 percent of the population) each year. Prescription drugs that are commonly abused include opioids, central nervous system (CNS) depressants and stimulants.

Some of the tell-tale signs that an individual may be in need of help from a prescription drug rehab include:

  • Taking more than the prescribed dosage
  • Visiting different doctors to get multiple prescriptions for the same drug or claiming to have lost a prescription so another can be written
  • Stealing or forging prescriptions
  • Making frequent visits to the Emergency Room in an effort to be prescribed their drug of choice

There are also many signs and symptoms to look for that will indicate someone is in need of professional help from a prescription drug rehab center. The signs and symptoms will vary depending upon which prescription drug is being abused.

Testimonials

I can't believe I am even writing this letter but my sponsor urged me to. I need to tell you that if it wasn't for the Freedom Rings program I never would have stayed in treatment. The staff and other patients provided me with unconditional love which made it easier for me to come out and my parents to accept my sexuality. Special thanks to Christie.
Bradley H., 15 months clean and sober, Towson, Md.

Well I went into treatment kicking and screaming. I didn't want to be there but behind all this acting out, I was just plain scared. I just couldn't imagine a life without drugs or alcohol. Today I can't imagine going back to it.
Juan Q., Miami, Fl.

I'm not sure I can get across how grateful I am to Priscilla, my therapist. She helped me deal with a past that stole everything from me. Today my relationship with my family is great and I am accomplishing things I never thought possible. Never give up on yourself.
