What Qualifies as a Prescription Drug? Prescription drugs are usually provided by experienced staff for clients for the sole purpose of treatment. According to Above the Influence, “some people assume that since they’re legal when prescribed by a doctor, they must be safer than illegal drugs. The truth is, these drugs require a prescription for a reason.”  Painkillers (opioid analgesics) are the highest prescribed medication that is misused. In the National Control Strategy 2014  report, more than 38,300 deaths from prescription drugs occurred. 16,600 of those deaths were related to painkillers, and between 2010-2012 the death rate rose by 5%. It has become a national goal to reduce addiction and death rates from prescription drugs by 15% from 2012, forward..   Prescription Drugs Can’t Be That Bad…Right? Wrong. Being addicted to prescription medication is just as bad as being dependent on any other drug.

Clinically managed detox is a procedure that is supervised by our experienced professionals in order to ease clients out of addiction. This method alleviates stress on both the body and the mind during the first stage of recovery. Detox at the beginning of treatment is very important because it causes the brain to prompt the body to realize that it is no longer physically dependent on daily substance abuse. This applies to recovery from both drugs and alcohol. What is the Effect of Clinically Managed Detox in Opiate Addictions? According to Narconon International, there isn’t much difference between withdrawing from a prescription opiate, such as hydrocodone, or another illicit substance like heroin. When someone is battling an addiction, they will generally take any opiate that is available. While opiates do deaden pain, they also deaden emotions. Continual opiate use makes users unable to find pleasure in life. As such, an opiate addiction is serious and requires personalized addiction treatment. Attempting to go “cold turkey” is not advised. This method of detox often puts the body into shock and can cause serious side effects and even death. Clinically Managed Detox for an opiate addiction can take several days or even a few months. The length of the detox depends on the client’s addiction severity and substance abuse history.  Detox.net states that, “detoxification from drugs takes as long as necessary for a client to be physically stable without the drug. It focuses…
