Prescription drug addiction can refer to a wide range of drugs including opioids, sedatives or anti-anxiety medications and stimulants.

Prescription drug abuse is the use of prescription medication in a way not intended (or off-label) by your prescribing doctor.

It often leads to long-term addiction and dependence due to the ease of acquiring and administering the drug.

A commonly abused prescription drug is morphine. Aside from a feeling of euphoria and pain relief, Morphine induces drowsiness. Abuse of Morphine could result in nausea, vomiting, breathing difficulties, a loss of consciousness, and more. The most conspicuous symptom of Morphine abuse is the appearance of a blue lining on the lips and fingernails.

Prescription Drugs Treatment Programs

Our drug rehab centers offer effective treatment options for prescription drug abuse. Counselling through Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is typically a crucial part of treatment, whether it is an individual, group, or family counselling.

DBT can help determine what factors may have led to prescription drug abuse in the first place, such as an underlying mental health problem or relationship problems.

DBT can also help you learn and maintain the skills needed to resist cravings long-term, avoid abuse of drugs and help prevent recurrence of prescription drug problems after your treatment period ends at our facility.

Through DBT, you can learn strategies for developing positive relationships and identify ways to take control of your addiction and maintain long-term recovery.

Your addiction treatment will not be just DBT and various counselling. We will create your personalized addiction treatment program that will be specific to your needs and aim to treat your addiction & mental health disorders.

Medical Detox

Depending on the drug and usage, detoxification may be needed as part of treatment.

Withdrawal can be dangerous and, in some cases, may require medical supervision during the detox period.

We provide medical detox if required.
