How Does Your Drug of Choice Impact Your Recovery?

There a couple different classes of prescription drugs that are known to cause addiction: benzodiazepines and opioid-based painkillers. Depending upon which category your prescription drug falls under, you may find that different prescription drug rehab programs will be better suited to you. For example, if you are addicted to opiate painkillers like Vicodin, OxyContin, hydrocodone, Percocet, Lortab and others, then you would benefit from methadone- or Suboxone-based detox programs depending upon the amount of your dose when you stop using.

Incorporated into in outpatient or inpatient prescription drug rehab, these types of detox programs for opiate drugs are extremely effective and allow you the room to detox at your own pace.

For those addicted to benzodiazepines like Xanax, Valium, Klonopin and others, there is no medicated detox option. You will need to find a medical detox that prescribes medications to ease the specific withdrawal symptoms you experience. The same prescription drug addiction counseling and treatment that works for those addicted to opiates will be beneficial for those addicted to benzodiazepines after an effective detox.

Withdrawal Symptoms and Detox

Your personal experience with withdrawal symptoms will vary depending upon a number of factors: your drug of choice, the amount you are taking when you go into your prescription drug rehab program, other drugs that you use regularly, underlying psychological and medical disorders and other things.

99 percent of the population with a psychological addiction to prescription medications and an inability to stop using their drug of choice on their own will experience withdrawal symptoms of some kind.

Whether you are addicted to benzodiazepines or opiates, these withdrawal symptoms can be dangerous and even deadly without medical supervision at a prescription drug rehab program and detox. Co-existing psychological and medical disorders can exacerbate symptoms and cause complications that may sneak up on you if you are not being monitored by professionals. Additionally, the rate of death by drug overdose is significantly higher during attempted at-home detoxes than at almost any other period in an addict’s life.

Finding the right prescription drug rehab program means finding one that offers a comprehensive detox program and follows it up with addiction counseling and addiction treatment.
