PRESCRIPTION DRUG DEPENDENCE
Prescription drug dependency is considered to be one of the fastest growing areas of substance abuse. Our adolescent clients commonly report a history of abusing these highly addictive medications
Many adults develop a dependency on medications as the result of treatment for chronic pain, anxiety or sleep disorders.
The Family Counseling Center recognizes that the treatment of prescription drug abuse requires a different approach than the standard model used for treating other addictions. As such we have developed a program at our will office specifically designed to address the unique and sometimes complicated process of prescription dependency.
COMMONLY ABUSED MEDICATIONS
Benzodiazapines- These medications are used to treat anxiety, panic attacks and sleep disorders. Long term use can lead to dependency. Examples are Valium, Xanax and Klonopin. Withdrawal from these medications can be life threatening and should be done with medical assistance.
Opioids- Also known as narcotic analgesics. These medications are commonly used to treat pain. Examples include: codeine, morphine, Oxycontin and Vicodine. While withdrawal is not normally life threatening, it can be a difficult process and should be supervised medically.
Stimulants- Commonly usd to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and sleep disorders such as narcolepsy. Examples include Ritalin, Dexadrine, and Adderol
