Startling figures from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) reveal that America is facing an epidemic of prescription drug abuse, with more than two million people over 11 admitting that they have abused prescription drugs. It is likely that the actual figures are higher, because most people do not know what prescription drug abuse entails.

Prescription drug abuse occurs when people use these drugs in any way that does not conform to the instructions given with the prescription. That includes taking more of a drug than the prescribed dosage, or taking it more often than prescribed. It also includes other misuses including making the effects of a drug more potent by injecting, smoking or snorting it instead of taking it orally, or by mixing a drug with other drugs or alcohol.

NIDA reveals that the most widely abused prescription drugs are the opioids, including brands like OxyContin, Vicodin and Percocet. These are drugs that are most often prescribed to treat acute or chronic pain. In 2015, more than 300 million prescriptions were issued for opioids. That is more than one opioid prescription for every adult in the country.

Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants are also widely abused. Common drugs in this class include Adderall and Ritalin. CNS stimulants are prescribed to treat conditions like narcolepsy and ADHD. People with anxiety, or those experiencing panic attacks may be prescribed CNS depressants or sedatives like Xanax or Klonopin, and these are another class of drugs that are widely abused.

Dangers Associated with Prescription Drug Abuse

When prescription drugs are used non-medically, or when people ignore usage instructions that come with the prescription, they are at risk of damaging their health. Prolonged exposure to excessive doses of many prescription drugs from the classes mentioned above can cause organ failure, gastrointestinal problems and a host of other physical issues.

One of the biggest risks people face is that of addiction. All of the classes mentioned are addictive, with opioids causing the biggest problems. This is hardly surprising since opioids are closely related to well known problem drugs like heroin and opium. Addiction is a medical condition in which people continue to use drugs despite the negative effects of doing so.

Treating Prescription Drug Addiction in Jersey City, NJ

The best results are obtained when individuals affected by addiction to prescription drugs seek help from rehab facilities. Treatment begins by helping people get the drugs out of their systems by detoxifying.

Addiction almost always goes hand in hand with dependency. When people are dependent on drugs, they will normally get withdrawal symptoms when they stop taking them. For many people, withdrawal symptoms can be excruciating. Rehab and treatment centers usually offer medical detox programs in which medications are used to ease the pain of withdrawal.

Following detox, clients will undergo group and individual therapy designed to help them stay sober. Top-class rehab programs like those offered through Drug Detox Centers Jersey City adopts a holistic approach to treatment. That involves exposing the underlying factors that cause addicts to abuse drugs. Addicts learn how to adopt new behaviors that are constructive rather than destructive.
