Understanding Prescription Drug Addiction
Prescription drug addiction occurs when individuals misuse prescription drugs, often due to pain management needs, mental health conditions, or other health-related issues. Common drugs involved include prescription opioids, prescription stimulants, and CNS depressants. While these medications serve legitimate purposes, their highly addictive properties increase the risk of prescription drug abuse. Misuse of these drugs can lead to drug addiction, where the body and mind become dependent on the substance.
Prescription Drug Abuse: Causes, Risks, and Treatment Options
Prescription drug abuse involves the misuse of prescription medication intended for health management. This form of abuse often begins with legitimate prescription drug use but can escalate when individuals take higher doses than prescribed or use the medication in ways not directed by a doctor. Misuse is not limited to prescription drugs alone; some people combine these with over-the-counter drugs to amplify the effects, further increasing health risks. Prescription drugs commonly abused include opioids, CNS depressants, and stimulants prescribed for pain, sleep disorders, or mental health conditions.
Prescription drug abuse treatment is essential for breaking the cycle of addiction. Treating prescription drug addiction typically involves a combination of detox, therapy, and sometimes medication-assisted treatment to reduce cravings and manage withdrawal symptoms. With a comprehensive plan focused on safe medication use, individuals can regain control over their lives and work toward a stable, drug-free future. Seeking help in our prescription drug rehab promptly is key to preventing the severe consequences of continued prescription drug abuse and building a healthy path forward.
Types of Prescription Drugs Commonly Abused
Opioid Painkillers: These drugs, such as hydrocodone and oxycodone, are often prescribed to treat severe pain but are also highly addictive.
Prescription Stimulants: Used primarily to treat conditions like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), stimulants can become addictive when taken in higher doses.
CNS Depressants: These drugs, often prescribed for sleep disorders and anxiety, slow down brain activity and can be misused, leading to dependency.

Why Do People Become Addicted to Prescription Drugs?
Prescription drug addiction often starts with prescription drug misuse. Some people take higher doses to enhance the effects, while others may start taking prescription drugs without a medical need. Risk factors include family history of addiction, underlying mental health conditions, and exposure to multiple prescriptions. The brain’s reward center reinforces the pleasure from these drugs, making drug misuse difficult to stop.
Signs and Symptoms of Prescription Drug Addiction
-
Physical symptoms such as drowsiness, confusion, and mood swings
-
Changes in mental health like depression or increased anxiety
-
Withdrawal symptoms when attempting to reduce or stop usage
-
Increased risky behaviors and negative consequences in personal or work life

Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment at Mountain Sky Recovery
Our treatment options are tailored to the unique needs of each patient, aiming to effectively treat prescription drug addiction and provide comprehensive support for recovery.
Medical Detoxification
For patients with severe addiction, medical professionals oversee the detox process to manage withdrawal symptoms and minimize physical discomfort. Medical detox is often necessary for opioid use disorder and prescription opioids addiction.
Behavioral Therapy
Therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) address underlying mental health issues and focus on developing strategies to prevent drug misuse in the future. Behavioral therapy also helps manage mental effects of addiction and improves overall well-being.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combines medications with counseling to improve treatment success rates. MAT is effective for opioid addiction and other substance use disorders involving highly addictive medications. The combination of medication and therapy can reduce cravings, making it easier to commit to recovery.
Additional Support: Family and Peer Involvement
Engagement of family members and support groups provides a strong foundation for patients. Family support is essential for understanding the challenges of prescription drug abuse and helps reinforce the recovery process.
The Treatment Process at Mountain Sky Recovery
Our structured treatment process includes an initial assessment, detoxification, individualized therapy plans, and aftercare support.

Testimonials
“Mike was my counselor for about 6 months. I came to him broken, sick, and deep in the horrors of addiction. I had completely lost all hope. Mike was the first person to show me kindness and compassion in a long time.
I’ve never felt comfortable opening up to people before, but Mike was able to challenge my beliefs and give me the courage to overcome my fears and break down the walls I had built up over many years of addiction. He took the time to listen to me and allow me to express the issues I was dealing with.
His direct but non-judgmental manner made hard topics easier to address head-on, which I really needed and appreciated. I now have 4 years sober and a life that I never thought was possible and I truly believe I would not be here without the care, patience, and dedication I received from Mike.”
Rebecka
“Since early childhood, the truth was hidden from me. The truth about my family, the truth about the world, the truth about love, and the truth about myself. I’m not sure he knows this, but Mike is the first person who ever told me the truth.
When I wanted to leave, he gave me reasons to stay. When I started to doubt my abilities, he gave me reasons why I shouldn’t. Most importantly, when I started to judge and focus on others, he gave me a mirror. Those are a small fraction of all the examples of some of the truths he told me.
Every year when I take a chip, I break down and cry not only because I am proud to still be clean, but because I’m thankful I let Mike tell me the truth.
I will be grateful for him until the day I leave this Earth, and I imagine I’ll do it clean because Mike gave me the ability to imagine it”
Rebecka
Mike has an amazing ability to relate to his clients and use his own experiences to guide you through whatever obstacle life throws your way. I’ve never felt more supported from any previous counselors or therapists and I highly recommend giving Mike a chance to help you get your life back.
I really never thought I could be sober, or live a fulfilling life and it was Mike that believed in me and walked me through the challenges until I could stand on my own two feet. 4 and a half years later, and he still checks on me periodically and makes me feel supported.
I can’t say enough about how amazing my experience was working with Mike, he truly cares for his clients and has the biggest heart and passion for helping people.”
