PRESCRIPTION DRUG ADDICTION TREATMENT IN DENVER, CO
Comprehensive care and compassionate support to help individuals reclaim their lives from prescription drug addiction in Denver County.
Sometimes it may be difficult to determine if someone is addicted to prescription medication because a common misconception is that if prescribed by a doctor, it must be safe and ok to use. However certain types of prescribed medications have become notorious for producing user dependency and withdrawal. The ones we’ve heard about in the news, like opioids, are more easily identified. Yet there are many medications that are less well-known, that aren’t quite as easy to identify as the highly-addictive substances they are.
The other aspect of an unexpected prescription drug addiction can be when these substances are initially prescribed for a useful and legitimate reason. Perhaps an injury, or a medical condition occurs which requires stronger substances for a prolonged period of time. Even under doctors orders, it isn’t uncommon for addiction to develop under the radar, and it becomes evident after it’s too late to stop on your own.
Here are some indications that you may be addicted to prescription medication:
- Continual increase in tolerance.
- Developing a craving for the medication, a strong urge to use, or intense obsession around when it’s time to take the next dose.
- Increasing dosage amount, or a longer duration of use than prescribed.
- Unsuccessful efforts to discontinue use or cut down use.
- Spending a lot of effort to obtain, use, or recover from prescription use.
- Medication use in situations that are unsafe.
