Prescription Drug
While prescription drugs may seem safer than illicit drugs, they can still lead to addiction. Doctors prescribe medications like benzos and opioids every day to help support patients’ quality of life, but these medications are easy to abuse. Prescription drugs often work like a bandaid to stop symptoms without treating the underlying cause. When someone takes prescription medications and lives with mental health issues like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or PTSD, they are more likely to develop an addiction. At Florida Helps Florida, we’re here to help patients uncover the cause of prescription drug abuse in our dual diagnosis prescription drug rehab program.
If you or someone you love is struggling with prescription drugs, know you are not alone. The team at Florida Helps Florida is here to support your journey with holistic dual diagnosis and substance abuse treatment. Call us now at (866) 931-9677 to speak to our staff and start treatment today.
What Is Prescription Drug Addiction?
Prescription drugs may seem safe because they are regulated by the FDA, medically tested for safety, and dispensed at a pharmacy. Unfortunately, even when taken as prescribed by a doctor, prescription drugs can lead to addiction. The most common prescription drugs that lead to chemical dependence and substance abuse include:
Opioids
Opioids are synthetic medications that mimic natural opiates. They’re made from the opium poppy and work by stopping pain receptors in the brain, which also causes euphoria. They can be especially difficult to stop taking without prescription drug rehab and medically assisted detox. Common opioids include Vicodin, OxyContin, and fentanyl. At Florida Helps Florida, we prescribe Suboxone, Methadone, and Vivitrol for opioid detox. These medications provide safe and effective treatment to limit withdrawal symptoms and prevent relapse.
Benzos
Benzodiazepines, also called benzos, are a type of drug that relaxes the nervous system. They release dopamine and GABA to promote sleep and relieve anxiety. Often prescribed for short-term use, they are highly addictive. Long-term use can cause changes in the language center of a person’s brain. Common benzos include Klonopin, Xanax, and Ativan. At Florida Helps Florida, we know treating the underlying causes of anxiety can help those in benzo recovery. Our range of holistic dual diagnosis therapies supports patients throughout detox and early recovery.
Amphetamines
Adderall is the most commonly prescribed amphetamine on the market, and is a common treatment for ADHD. These medications speed up reactions from the brain to the body and can be highly addictive whether someone is taking it as prescribed or abusing it.
Prescription drugs work by altering a person’s brain chemistry. Unfortunately, most times this can lead to substance abuse and addiction.
Confidential Addiction and Mental Health Care for Veterans
While each class of prescription drugs has its own side effects, common signs of prescription drug abuse include:
Changes in mood
Changes in sleep
Nightmares
Changes in eating habits
Weight loss
Anxiety
Depression
Paranoia
Confusion
Flu-like symptoms during withdrawal
Withdrawal is the first sign of addiction. During withdrawal, the brain tells the body it needs more drugs to survive. This is a natural reaction and a sign it’s time for prescription drug rehab. During our prescription drug rehab in Florida, patients undergo medically assisted detox to manage withdrawal symptoms alongside a range of therapies to help uncover and treat co-occurring disorders like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Studies show that treating mental health alongside substance abuse can decrease the risk of relapse and increase quality of life.

I have been in other facilities before and had bad experiences, I was pleasantly surprised this time. The staff was very helpful and considerate. Most of all the majority of them were recovering addicts, so they understood exactly what I was going through and it made this part of my recovery a lot more comfortable. I would recommend this program to anyone.
