Prescription Drug Rehab

Prescription drug addiction is a growing concern across the country. What often begins as a legitimate treatment for pain, anxiety, or other medical issues can spiral into dependency, leading to severe physical, emotional, and psychological consequences. 

At our prescription drug rehab facility in Georgia, we provide comprehensive, personalized treatment programs designed to help individuals overcome addiction and reclaim their lives.

 

What Is Prescription Drug Addiction?

Prescription drug addiction occurs when someone becomes physically or psychologically dependent on medications that were prescribed by a doctor. The most commonly abused prescription drugs include opioids (such as OxyContin and Vicodin), benzodiazepines (such as Xanax and Valium), and stimulants (such as Adderall and Ritalin). Despite their legitimate medical uses, these drugs have high potential for abuse and addiction, leading many individuals down a path of dependency.

Signs and Symptoms of Prescription Drug Addiction

Prescription drug addiction can be challenging to recognize, as it often begins with using the drug as directed. However, over time, individuals may exhibit the following signs and symptoms:

The Importance Of Prescription Drug Rehab

Addiction to prescription drugs can have devastating consequences on a person’s health, relationships, and overall well-being. Treatment is essential because it offers a structured and supportive environment where individuals can safely find accountability, and learn healthy coping mechanisms. Without professional help, many people find it difficult to break the cycle of addiction due to the physical and psychological cravings associated with prescription drug dependency.

Our Prescription Drug Rehab Programs

At Thoroughbred Recovery we offer multiple levels of care to help you or your loved one overcome prescription drug addiction. Our programs are tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual, ensuring they receive the care and support they need at every stage of recovery.

For those who require a high level of care but don’t need 24/7 supervision, our partial hospitalization program offers intensive treatment during the day, allowing individuals to return home or to a sober living environment in the evenings. PHP is ideal for individuals transitioning from inpatient care or for those who require more structured support.

Our intensive outpatient program offers flexibility for individuals who may need to maintain work, school, or family commitments while still receiving treatment. IOP allows individuals to attend therapy sessions and treatment activities multiple times per week while living at home. This program focuses on relapse prevention, developing coping mechanisms, and maintaining accountability.

Outpatient rehab is the least intensive level of care and is often recommended for those who have completed higher levels of treatment and are ready to transition back into daily life. This program offers continued support through therapy, counseling, and medication management on a less frequent basis.

How Is Prescription Drug Addiction Treated?

Treating prescription drug addiction requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses the underlying causes of addiction as well as the physical dependency. At our prescription drug rehab, we utilize evidence-based therapies that have been proven effective in helping individuals overcome addiction, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This form of therapy helps individuals recognize and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to addiction.
  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): DBT focuses on teaching individuals how to regulate their emotions, manage stress, and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
  • Holistic Therapies: Holistic treatments such as yoga, meditation, and nutritional counseling help address the mind, body, and spirit, fostering a more comprehensive recovery.
  • Equine-Assisted Therapy: Equine therapy involves interacting with horses as a way to foster emotional healing and personal growth. Horses are highly intuitive animals that respond to human emotions, making them excellent companions in therapy. Through grooming, leading, and caring for the horses, individuals learn valuable skills such as emotional regulation, trust, and communication.
  • Psychodrama Therapy: Psychodrama therapy allows individuals to explore unresolved emotions, past trauma, and internal conflicts through role-playing and dramatic enactment.
  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART): Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a form of psychotherapy that utilizes eye movements to help individuals quickly reprocess traumatic memories and negative emotions.
  • Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT): Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) is a short-term therapy that aims to clear emotional trauma and blockages in the subconscious mind that contribute to addiction.
  • EMDR Therapy: EMDR therapy is a well-known and highly effective treatment for trauma and addiction. This therapy uses guided eye movements to help individuals process painful memories and emotions that may contribute to their drug dependency.
  • Brainspotting Therapy: Brainspotting is a cutting-edge therapy that focuses on identifying specific points in a person’s visual field that correspond to stored trauma in the brain.
  • Trauma Therapy: Trauma therapy is a foundational aspect of prescription drug addiction treatment for individuals whose substance use is linked to unresolved trauma.
