Prescription drug addiction affects millions of Americans every year. There are so many types of medications that are given out to treat pain, mental disorders, attention deficit disorder, and a myriad of other ailments that are habit-forming and cause rapid physical dependencies, and often, the people prescribed these medications are not fully aware of the repercussions of using these prescriptions, trusting that the doctor knows what is best.
Prescription drug abuse may look like this:
- Taking more of the medication than you were prescribed or taking it more often than you should be
- Seeing different doctors and pharmacists or buying pills off the street to get more of the medication
- Using the drugs in ways not intended by your doctor (crushing and snorting tablets, for example)
- Buying or using other people’s medications that were not prescribed to you
- Feeling withdrawal symptoms when you cannot get your prescription filled
Even if you are using your own prescription drugs correctly, following what the label says, your body may become dependent on having the drugs in your system and produce withdrawal symptoms when you attempt to stop taking them.
At Quantum Behavioral Health, we treat prescription drug addiction safely and effectively through our various addiction treatment programs, all of which offer customized substance abuse treatment plans that are tailored to each individual client.
Our treatment center and care providers are licensed through the State of New Jersey and are accredited through the Joint Commission, which means that the trusted doctors and therapists at our facilities uphold the highest quality standards within the addiction treatment industry. We also maintain a low therapist-to-client ratio to provide a much more intensive care experience that offers a personal level of attention for each individual in our care. Even if you have been through an outpatient rehab program in the past and have experienced a relapse afterward, it is important not to let this make you hesitant to try outpatient treatment again. Our team will do everything in their power to ensure you are safe and comfortable throughout your entire treatment stay at Quantum Behavioral Health Services, and our aftercare services will help you stay sober long after your time in treatment. Our aftercare services help clients move forward in life on a positive trajectory with things like relapse prevention programs, life skills programs, client advocacy, and much more.
In an integrated plan that uses behavioral therapy, treatments for mental health disorders, group therapy, family therapy, and more, you will be able to wean off of all drug addictions and learn to move forward in life on a positive trajectory with relapse prevention programs, life skills programs and more.
