Accidental Prescription Drug Addiction, Dependency and Abuse

Many people start taking prescription drugs when they are prescribed by their doctor. Prescription painkillers may have been prescribed for the pain of an illness, accident or surgery. But sometimes people have a hard time getting off those drugs. In fact, they sometimes get addicted to them.

When the prescription runs out, some people have no where to turn. They have to find drugs elsewhere. Sometimes they find them with other doctors, and sometimes they get them on the street. Maybe methadone, or heroin.

If you are addicted to prescription drugs or ended up dependent on them from a surgery, illness or injury, a drug detox may be all you need.

If you have switched to heroin or methadone you should still do drug detox first.



Should I look for an alcohol detox and rehab?

If you, a family member or friend is a binge drinker or heavy drinker, a drug detox center that is experienced with alcohol addiction or dependency may be the best first step. Rehab would come next.

There is a possibility you'll be able to go straight into rehab, and there's also a possibility detox will be enough.
