Prescription Drugs Detox

Prescription Drugs Detox Center In San Francisco, CA

Prescription medications can be used to effectively treat and manage a variety of physical and mental health concerns. This can include pain management, ADHD, panic disorder, anxiety, and substance use disorders. When someone has been prescribed a potentially addictive medication, it is important that they maintain an open and honest dialogue with their prescribing physician about the use of their medication. 

 

The National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics (NCDAS) reported that 16.3 million individuals misuse prescription medications annually. Prescription misuse means that they are being taken in a manner other than was intended. NCDAS noted that less than 10% of individuals who abuse prescription medications do so with the intent of getting high. Prescription misuse increases the risk of developing an addiction, be it a higher dose, more frequently than directed, or by someone who is not the receiver of the medication. 

 

While the rate of prescription abuse has declined since 2015, there is still room for improvement. Prescription medications are the third most illegally abused substance, according to NCDAS, preceded by marijuana and cocaine.

How Do Prescription Drugs
Impact the Body?

The way that prescription medications impact our bodies depends on the medication we take. As an example, pain medications such as Oxycodone and Hydrocodone bind to the opioid receptors in our brains, which can provide relief from pain symptoms. However, pain medications can be addictive, so it is important to take them as prescribed and communicate any concerns regarding your medication with your doctor. 

 

Benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and some sleep medications are classified as depressants. These medications impact our Central Nervous System, which can be useful for individuals who struggle with insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, and seizures. If someone takes too much of a depressant, their breathing can slow down dramatically and even stop. This will decrease the amount of oxygen our brain receives can have short-term and long-term consequences. 

 

Stimulants, including amphetamines and methylphenidate, can cause increased alertness, attention, and energy. When stimulants are abused, individuals can struggle with paranoia, anger, psychosis, and overdose. 

Individuals who are abusing prescription medications can likely benefit from a prescription drug detox center in San Francisco. Prescription medications can lead to uncomfortable, and potentially dangerous withdrawal symptoms that medical professionals should monitor. Call (866)525-3026 to learn about the treatment program available at Marina Harbor Detox. 

What Are the Symptoms of Prescription Drug Withdrawal?
