Prescription Pill Addiction at NTS

Prescription drugs are rapidly becoming the drug of choice for many people. Prescription drug abuse is the abuse of prescribed medications, whether legally obtained or illegally obtained. For example, a client arrives at NTS Treatment Centers for abusing prescribed medications, but they were not prescribed the medication they are addicted to. Sometimes this is referred to as "pill addiction." Prescription medication is readily available on the street. People can purchase Oxycontin®, Xanax, and other types of prescription drugs, which are used for legitimate medical purposes and take them to get high. More and more we are seeing clients enter the NTS Treatment Program with Prescription Addiction. We address legitimate medical concerns that may require medication, but at the same time, address issues concerning the improper use of prescription medications.

Prescription Addiction is just as deadly, if not more deadly than illicit substance abuse. A medical professional at a medical detox facility should monitor the withdrawal from prescription medications. At NTS Treatment Centers, we can recommend the appropriate treatment approach to prescription medication addiction and help you or your loved one through the difficult process
