When medication is prescribed by a doctor, it can be extraordinarily helpful when used correctly. Some people are able to use prescription drugs according to directions and simply stop using the medication once the prescription has run out. However, for others, the urge to take the medication doesn’t end when they can longer fill the prescription. Addiction has taken hold, and the use of prescription drugs accelerates. The most effective way to end prescription drug addiction is to enter a prescription drug detox program. 
At Liberty Health Services’ prescription drug detox center in New Hampshire, you begin the road to recovery in a safe environment with a team of addiction specialists ready to help you. We pride ourselves on providing the highest level of care possible in addiction treatment programs. If you or someone you care about is struggling with prescription drug addiction, the Liberty Health Services drug detox center can be the place to begin your new way of life free from prescription drug use.
Commonly Abused Prescription Drugs
Some of the most commonly abused prescription drugs include:
- Benzodiazepines – Also known as benzos, these drugs are usually prescribed to treat anxiety, panic attacks, or insomnia. Benzos include such medications as Valium, Xanax, and Klonopin.
- Stimulants – Stimulants, such as Adderall, Dexedrine, and Ritalin, are usually prescribed to increase alertness, attention, and energy. Stimulants are mainly prescribed for treating ADHD and sleep disorders and for augmenting antidepressants.
- Opioids – are opioid prescription drugs that are commonly abused. Some of the most frequently abused prescription meds are painkillers, especially opioids. These drugs are effective to dull pain, but they can also cause a euphoric high and are highly addictive in large doses.
- Sleep medication – Common sleep medications, including Ambien, Lunesta, and Sonata, can help you get the rest you need. Although they’re not as addictive as some sleeping pills, doctors are concerned about abuse if they’re not taken as prescribed.
Many people can take medication as prescribed with no trouble, but others may end up dependent before they even realize there’s a problem. It can happen to anyone, and there is no shame in admitting that you need help. The safest way to break an addiction to prescription drugs is with help from an addiction treatment facility.
Our Addiction Treatment Programs
Addiction treatment is not one-size-fits-all. At Liberty Health Services, we believe your addiction treatment plan should be tailored to your unique needs. One of the foundational addiction treatment methods in our program is medication-assisted treatment. During medication-assisted treatment, our team will monitor your vital signs to ensure your safety and administer medications to ease withdrawal symptoms.
What Is a Prescription Drug Detox Program and How Does It Work?
When you begin a prescription drug detox program at Liberty Health Services, our team will first perform a full assessment, including information such as the frequency of your drug use and a family medical history. Our knowledgeable team then uses this feedback to customize a treatment plan that gives you the best chance to end your prescription drug addiction. After you have completed the detox program, our team will work with you to begin the therapeutic phase of your recovery.
Prescription drug addiction changes the way that a brain operates. Over time, your brain becomes rewired and develops a craving for the chemicals in prescription drugs. After this happens, it becomes nearly impossible to stop the addiction without professional help.
When people try to end a prescription drug addiction suddenly, the withdrawal symptoms can be painful. In some cases, the pain is so great that people relapse and use their prescription drug of choice so that the withdrawal effects will stop. That’s one of the main reasons that a prescription drug detox program at Liberty Health Services may be necessary to end your prescription drug addiction.
Benefits of Detox
Medical detox is the best and safest way for a person to come off of dependence or addiction to prescription medications or other illicit drugs. A detox program is highly beneficial to the recovery process, and individuals who complete a full treatment plan with detox have higher success rates when it comes to long-term sobriety goals.
