Prescription drug detox is often needed to get through withdrawal symptoms. Prescription drug detox can be mild in some cases but in others can help relieve life-threatening withdrawal symptoms. Scripts takes this many steps farther and has dedicated a whole facility to treating prescription drug dependence. The idea behind this is that prescription drug detox must first eliminate the immediate needs and pains of the body before the mind can begin to address abstinence.

Addiction to prescription drugs is an illness of the mind and body. The body becomes dependent on the continuous level of drugs it is consuming and reacts negatively when that level drops. Pain is heightened for those taking pain suppressant drugs such as Vicodin or OxyContin. Anxiety and wild thoughts spin out of control for those taking anti-depressants such as Xanax or Valium. This physical dependence is why many people cannot stop despite desperately wanting to.

The other side to addiction is the psychological dependence. Feeling like you cannot cope with the pressures of work and or home without the prescription medication. Desperate for that ease and comfort that comes with taking a handful of pills yet frustrated that the euphoria once felt is diminishing and you are having a difficult time maintaining an adequate supply of pills. The things that you need to do to maintain a supply of pills often lead to feelings of guilt, shame and hopelessness over the situation. It is these feelings our professional counselors help you deal with as you learn new behaviors and how to cope with without drugs, how to deal with wanting to go to the emergency room for a prescription.
