Prescription Drug Detox

Prescription drugs are often suggested by a physician for pain management, specific disorder treatment, or to assist living with chronic or short-term medical conditions. A prescription drug detox program becomes necessary when an individual either accidentally or purposely abuses these drugs, leading to a prescription drug addiction.

Prescription drug detox programs provide treatment for three main drug categories including:

  • Opiates - Usually given to treat chronic or short-term pain relief
  • CNS Depressants - Used to treat sleep disorders and anxiety
  • Stimulants - Used for treating ADHD, ADD and narcolepsy

  • Mood swings
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Sleeplessness
  • Chills and sweating
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Digestive problems
  • Muscle aches
  • Cravings
  • Dangerously high fevers
  • Seizures
  • Cardiovascular failure
