Did you develop an unexpected addiction to prescription medication? Beethoven Recovery Centre is here to give you an opportunity to break free from prescription drug addiction for good! This type of addiction is one of the most dangerous forms of addiction, as it goes together with physical and mental healthcare that require the consumption of prescription medication over extended periods. Therefore, most people do not even realise that they are physically dependent on the specific addictive substance in their medication.
The Most Commonly Abused Prescription Drugs
Oxycontin (Opioids) and Benzodiazepines (Xanax) are some of the most commonly abused prescription drugs in the world. Both are addictive substance that can cause psychical dependencies when consuming medication that contain these substances. They can also be deadly when consuming a combination of the 2 drugs – with the possibility to lead to overdosing. There is a saying that says, “The Cure Lies in the Overdose”. When it comes to addictive prescription drugs, the cure lies in moderation and being aware of the dangers of developing an addiction that could lead to a possible overdose.
Opioids are commonly prescribed for pain management, while Xanax is used to treat anxiety. Other common prescription drugs include Ambien (used as a sleeping aid), Nembutal (sedative), and Adderall (used to treat ADHD). All the above-mentioned prescription drugs are addictive and could cause the manifestation of a full-blown addiction. Therefore, it is crucial to consult your doctor or medical professional on the possibility of addiction when they prescribe medication that contains these substances. A common solution is to switch to another type of medication to avoid continual consumption of a specific type of medication that contains an addictive substance.
Signs of Addiction
When it comes to prescription drug addiction, there are several signs to look out for that could point to drug abuse. One of the earlier signs is when a person consumes more than what is prescribed to them and coming up with a “clever” excuse to justify their actions. Bodily cravings are also viewed as a determining factor regarding addiction – leading to erratic behaviour, violent mood swings, and unpredictable decisions. Luckily, Beethoven Recovery Centre offers professional prescription drug rehabilitation to give addicts the opportunity to truly overcome their addiction on their own terms.
