How do you Get Off of Prescription Drugs When You Are Addicted or Dependent?

The first step in getting off of prescription drugs is in a comfortable and safe medical detox facility. The reason for this is simple, drugs such as OxyContin Vicodin, Xanax and Valium are very difficult to stop cold turkey and in most case the manufacturer will tell you on the warning label to use medical supervision. The second reason is that it can be so debilitating physically that most people fail and stay addicted to prescription drugs for a long time. At the end of your drug detox you should feel strong enough to either go to rehab or go back to work.

For those people who have a dependency to prescription drugs a detox may be all they need.

For others a successful drug rehab program may be necessary to achieve a full recovery before going back to everyday life.
