Features of Prescription Drug Addiction Rehab

For prescription drug addiction rehab to be successful, it must be custom­tailored to the needs of

the individual. Each prescription drug affects the body in a different way, and each person

becomes addicted to prescription drugs due to a unique combination of attitudes, beliefs, actions

and circumstances.

Although the specific interventions used will vary greatly from person to person, rehab for

prescription drugs usually includes three steps:

1. Medical Detox for Physical Dependence

Prescription drug abuse involves a physical component, as over time, the use of medications for

non­medicinal purposes causes changes to take place in the brain. When the body stops receiving

the drugs, unpleasant symptoms of withdrawal occur. Medical detox is the process of eliminating

the traces of prescription drugs from the body while alleviating symptoms of withdrawal to keep

those faced with addiction as comfortable as possible. To ensure safety, medical detox is

performed by an experienced medical team in a carefully controlled, yet comfortable setting.

2. Treatment for Prescription Drug Addiction

Once the physical dependence on prescription drugs has been dealt with through medical detox,

the real work of treatment for addiction can take place. Through a variety of therapies, addicts

explore the traumas, stresses and other issues that led them to abuse prescription drugs.

Individuals are also taught coping strategies to help them manage daily life and deal with

potential triggers that could encourage a return to drug use.

3. Aftercare

At the conclusion of treatment, those recovering from prescription drug addiction are given an

aftercare plan to guide them through the weeks and months that follow. The purpose of aftercare

is to provide addicts with continuous support counseling, support groups and other programs that

will help them continue to abstain from drug use.
