Understanding Prescription Drug Addiction

Prescription drug addiction can affect anyone. This means that even an individual who only takes prescription drugs for an actual medical reason can develop an addiction. This is because many people start to gradually increase the number of prescription pills that they take. Before they know it, many of those people begin to struggle with prescription drug abuse.

Some people also develop an addiction to prescription drugs because they take their prescription medications for a longer period of time than they were supposed to. On top of normal people accidentally abusing prescription drugs, illegal drug users even find misusing prescription medications appealing.

When you combine all of the people that accidentally abuse prescription drugs with the people that abuse prescription drugs purposely, the number of prescription drug abusers in the world becomes massive. It’s no wonder why so many people need to attend prescription drug detox.

Over time, those who suffer from prescription drug abuse will build a natural tolerance to prescription medications. Once their tolerance increases, prescription drug abusers begin to increase their daily dosage of prescription drugs to feel its effects. This behavior leads to addiction. Thus, regardless of whether or not it starts out innocently, prescription drug abuse almost always leads to addiction.

Signs of Prescription Drug Abuse

Everyone displays signs of prescription drug abuse differently. Thus, there is no set timeline that shows exactly how long it will take for a person to develop a drug dependency.

After dependency has set in though, a person may go to extreme lengths to get prescription drugs. In addition, people with prescription drug dependencies will exhibit withdrawal symptoms. This happens when they minimize or discontinue their use of their prescription drugs. When people start experiencing withdrawal symptoms, it makes prescription drug detox more difficult to go through.

If you’re worried that someone close to you is abusing prescription drugs, pay attention to see if that person is experiencing withdrawal symptoms or not. If your loved one is experiencing prescription drug withdrawal symptoms, then he or she is already dependent on prescription drugs. This also means that your loved one is on the journey to prescription drug addiction.

Some common prescription drug withdrawal symptoms include the following:

• Tremors
• Anxiety
• Difficulty sleeping
• Nausea or vomiting
• Rapid dosage increases
• Mood swings or disorder
• Using multiple pharmacies
• Forged or fake prescriptions
• Frequently changing from one healthcare provider to another

The Risks of Not Attending Prescription Drug Detox and Rehab

A common misconception is that taking prescription medications is safer than taking illegal substances, but the dangers are similar. Taking someone else’s prescription medications can put you at risk for serious health issues, including a drug overdose.

People who are misusing prescription drugs that were prescribed to them can even develop prescription drug addiction and its co-occurring health risks. In fact, prescription drugs are often so addictive that people unintentionally grow to depend on them. Taking more prescription pills than prescribed can become a reoccurring problem. Others may develop an addiction due to taking prescription medications for too long a period of time.

The longer that you suffer from prescription drug addiction, the harder it will be to get sober again. Thus, if you suspect that you or someone that you care about is abusing prescription drugs, you should take action now and attend prescription drug detox and addiction treatment.

Prescription Drug Detox and Rehab

Prescription drug addiction has risen substantially among all areas of society. This is partly due to doctors prescribing prescription medications to more and more people every day. In fact, the overprescribing of opioids is the primary reason why we are in an opioid epidemic today.

Prescription drugs are either are synthetic, potent, and pure. The three categories of the most commonly abused prescription drugs are opiates (i.e., OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin), stimulants (i.e., Adderall, Ritalin), and benzodiazepines (i.e., Valium, Xanax). Addiction to opiates, stimulants, and benzodiazepines all require inpatient medical detox.

One reason why people who suffer from dependence on these drugs will need inpatient medical detox is to make sure that they are safely ending drug use. Residential detox can help to ensure a safe process for those working to recover from substance abuse and addiction.

Prescription drugs are so addictive that abuse of them has an adverse effect on a person’s mental and physical health. As a result, it’s imperative that prescription drug addicts attend inpatient rehab after inpatient medical detox.
