Understanding Prescription Drug Addiction

Prescription drug addiction occurs when a person uses a prescribed or non-prescribed medication in ways other than directed, leading to physical dependence, tolerance, and compulsive use. The most commonly misused prescription drugs fall into three categories: opioid pain relievers (oxycodone, hydrocodone), benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, Klonopin), and stimulants (Adderall, Ritalin). Prescription drug addiction can develop even when medications are initially taken as prescribed. Physical dependence can occur within weeks of regular use.

Signs of Prescription Drug Addiction

  • Taking more medication than prescribed
  • Seeking prescriptions from multiple doctors
  • Using someone else's prescription
  • Continuing use despite wanting to stop
  • Withdrawal symptoms when the medication wears off
  • Neglecting responsibilities to obtain or use medication
  • Mood swings tied to medication availability
  • Spending significant time and money obtaining prescriptions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is prescription drug addiction treated differently than street drug addiction?
The treatment approach is similar. Medical detox protocols differ based on the specific substance. Opioid and benzodiazepine withdrawal both require medical supervision. The underlying behavioral therapy and recovery support are equivalent.
Can I detox from benzodiazepines at Archangel Centers?
Yes. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is medically serious and should always be supervised. Our medical team provides a safe, tapering withdrawal protocol under 24/7 clinical oversight.
How long does prescription drug detox take?
Detox length depends on the substance and level of dependence. Opioid detox typically lasts 5-10 days. Benzodiazepine detox may take longer due to the complexity of the taper. Your medical team will determine the appropriate timeline.
Does insurance cover prescription drug treatment?
Yes. Under the ACA and mental health parity laws, substance use disorder treatment including detox, PHP, and IOP is a covered essential health benefit. We accept Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, United Healthcare, and most major carriers.
What if I became addicted to a medication my doctor prescribed?
This is more common than most people realize. Prescription opioids and benzodiazepines can create physical dependence even when taken exactly as directed. There is no shame in seeking treatment. Our clinical team will develop a plan that addresses both the addiction and any underlying conditions the medication was managing.
