Prescription drug detox is a critical step toward recovery for individuals facing dependence on prescription drugs. At Opus Treatment, we provide a safe and medically supervised environment for people ready to break free from prescription drug addiction. Our experienced staff and clinical staff ensure that every patient receives the support and care needed to manage prescription drug withdrawal symptoms with comfort and safety.
Prescription drug addiction occurs when individuals misuse medications over an extended period, leading to physical dependence, emotional cravings, and a range of withdrawal symptoms. This misuse can include:
These types of prescription medications may be used for chronic pain, anxiety, or attention disorders but can cause addiction to prescription stimulants or depressant misuse when not taken as prescribed. Individuals may seek out these drugs for their euphoric effects, calming effects, or to cope with a mental health disorder or behavioral health conditions.
Prescription drug detox is the process of eliminating harmful substances from the body under medical supervision. Detoxification addresses both the physical and psychological symptoms of withdrawal. At Opus Treatment, we use evidence-based methods to manage withdrawal symptoms and provide medication-assisted treatment when necessary.
Withdrawal symptoms can vary widely depending on the type of prescription medication, the duration of use, and the patient’s genetic makeup. At Opus Treatment, we understand that detox from prescription drugs affects both physical health and mental well-being. Our nursing staff and medical team closely monitor symptoms throughout the prescription drug detox process to ensure safety and improve outcomes during this critical phase of the recovery journey.
At Opus Treatment, our prescription drug detox program follows a structured and medically supervised approach designed to ensure safety, comfort, and a smooth transition into ongoing care. Our process addresses the harmful effects of prescription drug abuse while reducing the risk of overdose, risk of relapse, and cardiotoxic effects that can occur during the withdrawal process.
The detox journey begins with a full clinical assessment by our medical care team and nursing staff. During this phase, we evaluate each patient’s physical health, mental health history, current substance use disorder, and any co-occurring mental health disorder. We also consider the type of prescription medication, duration of use, presence of drug dependence, and potential genetic makeup factors that can affect detox outcomes.
During the stabilization phase, our experienced team manages prescription drug withdrawal symptoms, which can include muscle tension, abdominal cramps, drug cravings, panic attacks, and disruptions in energy levels or feelings of pleasure. Stabilization focuses on maintaining safety through hour care and the use of addiction treatment medications or maintenance therapy when needed.
Once stabilized, patients enter the transition phase. This critical step involves preparing for continued care, whether through residential treatment, inpatient programs, or outpatient treatment. Our team helps patients move from detox into a full drug addiction treatment program that supports physical healing and emotional growth.
At Opus Treatment, we provide effective detox services for a wide range of prescription medications. Our medical team delivers specialized care tailored to the type of medication, severity of dependence, and individual health needs. Each detox plan is designed to manage symptoms of prescription drug withdrawal safely and support long-term recovery.
Our opioid detox programs are designed to treat individuals experiencing opioid use disorder and prescription drug dependency. We address severe withdrawal symptoms such as muscle tension, abdominal cramps, elevated heart rate, and intense drug cravings. Medications like partial opioid agonists may be used to manage symptoms.
Detox from prescription stimulants—such as Adderall and Ritalin—can trigger anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, and mental exhaustion. Our stimulant detox plans target these symptoms using behavioral treatments, psychosocial therapies, and individualized medical care to support a stable recovery journey.
Withdrawal from prescription depressants like benzodiazepines can cause muscle spasms, body aches, and disrupted feelings of pleasure. Our benzodiazepine withdrawal protocols use FDA-approved medications and adjunct therapy to manage symptoms safely and prevent harmful effects during detox.
We also offer detox for synthetic drugs and designer drugs, which are often associated with unpredictable or severe withdrawal reactions. These may include mood swings, hallucinations, blurred vision, and cardiotoxic effects. Our prescription drug detoxification approach includes careful monitoring, detox medications, and supportive care.
Medical detox offers a safer alternative to at-home detox. Attempting detox without professional supervision can lead to severe complications, such as dehydration, seizures, and psychological distress. Opus Treatment provides a supervised environment where healthcare professionals monitor your progress 24/7.
Medications including buprenorphine and naltrexone are commonly administered to alleviate the distressing symptoms associated with withdrawal and to diminish the urge for drug use. These maintenance medications are essential in effectively managing the array of symptoms that accompany opioid withdrawal and are crucial in fostering a supportive environment for sustainable, long-term recovery.
Detox is just the beginning of the recovery process. At Opus Treatment, we emphasize a continuum of care, which includes:
