Prescriptions Addiction

Supportive care for a life well-lived.

Healing Starts With Understanding—and Expert Care

Prescription drug addiction is a growing epidemic that affects people from all walks of life. What often begins as a legitimate medical treatment can quickly spiral into dependence, abuse, and addiction. At San Rafael Rehab, we offer compassionate, evidence-based care for those struggling with prescription drug abuse, helping clients break free and rebuild their lives with clarity and confidence.

What is Prescription Drug Addiction?

Prescription drug addiction occurs when a person becomes physically or psychologically dependent on medication that was originally prescribed by a healthcare provider. Commonly misused medications include:

1. Opioids (for pain relief)

  • Oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet)

  • Hydrocodone (Vicodin)

  • Morphine, Fentanyl

2. Benzodiazepines (for anxiety or sleep disorders)

  • Xanax

  • Valium

  • Ativan

  • Klonopin

3. Stimulants (for ADHD or narcolepsy)

  • Adderall

  • Ritalin

  • Dexedrine

Misuse of these medications—taking higher doses, using them without a prescription, or combining with other substances—can lead to prescription drug dependency, overdose, or even death.

Signs of Prescription Drug Abuse

Recognizing the signs of prescription drug misuse is the first step toward recovery. Common indicators include:

  • Taking more than the prescribed dose

  • Doctor shopping to get multiple prescriptions

  • Mood swings or erratic behavior

  • Changes in sleep or appetite

  • Neglecting responsibilities or relationships

  • Cravings and withdrawal symptoms when not using

If you or someone you love is showing these signs, San Rafael Rehab is here to help.

Why Professional Treatment is Critical

Because prescription medications affect brain chemistry, quitting abruptly can lead to severe withdrawal symptoms—especially with opioids and benzodiazepines. Our prescription detox program ensures a safe, medically supervised withdrawal process, followed by comprehensive addiction treatment to support long-term healing.

Our Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment Program

At San Rafael Rehab, we provide a full continuum of care tailored to the unique needs of those struggling with prescription drug addiction:

✅ Medical Detox

Our clinical team supervises the withdrawal process using Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) when appropriate. This helps manage symptoms, reduce cravings, and prevent complications.

✅ Residential & Outpatient Rehab

Depending on the severity of addiction, clients may participate in inpatient or outpatient programs. Both include:

  • Individual and group therapy

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions

  • Family therapy and education

  • Trauma-informed care

✅ Aftercare & Relapse Prevention

We prepare every client for life after treatment with ongoing support, relapse prevention strategies, and connections to community resources.
