Evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), group counseling, and one-on-one sessions can provide both structure and insight, helping you build healthier coping skills.
Prescription Addiction Treatment Center in San Diego, California
Unlike other addictions, prescription drug dependency often develops in plain sight. For many people, it starts with a routine doctor’s visit, a real medical concern, and a legitimate prescription.
You may have received medication for pain after surgery, disruptive anxiety, or trouble focusing at work or school. It’s likely that at first, the drug helped with whatever challenge you were facing. However, it’s possible that over time, you may have found yourself needing more just to get the same effect, running out of pills early, or feeling uneasy when you’re without them. This isn’t your fault; it’s just the nature of the medication.
You’re not the only one facing this struggle. Over 16 million people in the U.S. misuse prescription drugs every year, and over 18 million Americans age 12 and up have done it at least once in their lifetime. Unfortunately, it’s more common than it should be.
No matter how long you’ve been wrestling with your addiction, West Coast Recovery Centers can help. We offer nonjudgmental, personalized care to help you break free from prescription drug dependency and build a healthier, more grounded life.
Signs and Symptoms of Prescription Drug Addiction
It’s not always easy to recognize when you’ve become dependent on prescription medication. If you’re worried you may have crossed that line, here are some signs to watch out for:
- Taking higher doses than prescribed or finishing prescriptions early
- Visiting multiple doctors or pharmacies to get more medication than what’s necessary
- Feeling anxious or physically sick when you don’t have your medication
- Noticing changes in your mood, energy, or how you relate to others
- Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home
- Pulling away from people you care about
If any of these behaviors sound familiar, you may be experiencing addiction, but you are not beyond help. At WCRC, we help those who have detoxed from prescription drugs and are ready to make lasting change.
