Prescription Drug Detox Challenges
Identifying a substance use disorder is already a challenging process. Sometimes it can be difficult to admit to having a problem when the signs can be attributed to something else. This is one of the reasons prescription drug detox can be challenging. Symptoms of an underlying emotional or physical problem that the drug was originally prescribed for may be very similar to the symptoms of addiction. Addiction co-occurring with a medical disorder makes it almost impossible to determine where the symptoms of the disorder end and the addiction begin. Intervention can also prove formidable as the addict may point a finger at their initial diagnosis to explain their behavior.
Attempting to detox will cause withdrawal symptoms that are uncomfortable, intense and sometimes life-threatening. It’s extremely hard for addicts to detox from prescription drugs, especially when they are so accessible. It is highly recommended that recovering addicts seek out rehab options to make the process both safe and successful. Rehab facilities are equipped to provide medical supervision and support. The use of drugs like Naltrexone, Methadone, Buprenorphine and Loxfeidine can help ween someone off prescription medications effectively. Behavioral counseling and other therapies are also available, which greatly increase the chances of completing the program.
