How we treat prescription medication addiction

The term 'prescription medication' covers a range of legal drugs provided by medical and allied health professionals. These are usually administered to address pain, anxiety, and a range of physical, emotional, and psychological afflictions. However, when these active drugs are used outside of legitimate prescriptions, they become prone to abuse and addiction.

Our holistic prescription drug rehab program takes place at our private hospital. Treatment begins with prescription drug detox. Each patient then receives a personal treatment program encompassing group and individual therapy, including art therapy, sport and recreation, and family therapy. The Hader Clinic’s approach to prescription drug addiction rehab gives patients the best possible chance at long-term recovery.

The signs of prescription drug addiction

For the purposes of discussion, we define prescription medication addiction as any use of a controlled substance outside of its prescribe dosage.

Due to the varied nature of prescription medications and their broad effects on the body, it is quite difficult to define the signs of prescription medication.

As this is the case, the general signs of prescription drug addiction are largely behavioural in nature, and can be identified with a keen eye.

Here are some things to look out for if you think a loved one may need to seek treatment for prescription drug abuse:

  • Secretive or suspect behaviour
  • Stealing or forging prescriptions
  • Drastic changes in sleeping patterns
  • Varying changes in energy levels
  • Mood swings and hostility
  • Taking higher doses of medication
  • Complete reliance on the substance
  • Doctor shopping for more prescriptions

Withdrawing from prescription medication

Withdrawals from prescription medication can vary from drug to drug. Withdrawal can be especially dangerous if the patient’s body has developed a heavy reliance. An unsupervised prescription drug detox can result in respiratory failure, seizures, coma, and even death.

Other withdrawal symptoms include:

  • Confusion or delirium
  • Drowsiness or inability to stay awake
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Depressed, or slowed breathing
  • Nausea and constipation

We can carefully monitor and manage the side effects of your withdrawal at our prescription drug detox centre. The Hader Clinic employs a highly specialised, multidisciplinary team to help address the physical symptoms of withdrawal, and get started on tackling the psychological machinations of ongoing prescription medication addiction.

Frequently asked questions about prescription drug rehab

중독 위험 없이 처방약을 복용하는 가장 안전한 방법은 무엇인가요?

어떤 약을 복용하는 가장 안전한 방법은 의사가 지시한 대로 정확히 복용하는 것입니다. 복용량을 늘리거나 복용 간격을 줄이는 것은 중독으로 이어질 수 있는 위험한 길입니다. 다른 많은 약물과 마찬가지로, 처방약을 많이 복용할수록 그 효과를 느끼기 위해 더 많은 양이 필요해집니다.

처방약에 의존하게 된다고 느끼거나 더 이상 효과를 느끼지 못한다면, 처방약 중독 치료를 받기 전에 주치의와 상담하십시오. 주치의는 처방약 중독에서 벗어나도록 돕기 위한 첫 번째 단계로 고려할 수 있는 옵션을 제시해 줄 수 있습니다.

How did my loved one get addicted? They are usually so smart.

Addiction has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence. It has nothing to do with race, religion, gender, income, or upbringing. It does not discriminate, and at The Hader Clinic, we see people afflicted with prescription medication addiction who come from all walks of life.

It's important to remember that addiction is just that — an affliction. It is a disease that is diagnosable and treatable. The Hader Clinic is a fully accredited and private prescription drug addiction rehab facility. We address all stages of recovery, from the first stage of withdrawal and detox, to ongoing outpatient support.
