The pharmaceutical market offers a plethora of prescription drugs tailored to alleviate pain and discomfort stemming from various causes. Whether post-surgery recovery or chronic pain management, prescription drugs serve as essential aids. Yet, while prescribed usage is deemed safe, misuse can lead to severe addiction. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, a staggering 18 million individuals misused prescription drugs in 2017 alone.
In light of this concerning trend, our nationwide prescription drug rehab center extends individualized care to aid those grappling with prescription medication addiction on their path to sobriety. Our approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based practices, ensuring each patient receives tailored treatment to address their unique needs and challenges.
Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment at Banyan
Despite the perception of safety due to medical supervision, prescription drug abuse is rampant. Addiction, recognized as a chronic affliction, can wreak havoc on one's health and relationships. To combat the detrimental effects, many individuals require specialized prescription drug addiction treatment. At Banyan Treatment Centers, we offer a comprehensive program designed to address the complexities of prescription drug addiction. From medical detoxification to individual and group therapy sessions, our multidisciplinary approach aims to empower individuals to reclaim control over their lives.
The Dangers of Prescription Drugs
Prescription medications, when used correctly, provide effective relief. However, misuse carries severe risks, including addiction, organ damage, respiratory depression, cognitive impairment, and overdose, which can be fatal if taken in excess or in combination with other substances. It's vital to adhere to medical advice, refrain from sharing medications, and seek professional help if addiction arises. Following a doctor's instructions, avoiding sharing medication, and abstaining from unauthorized use are crucial practices to ensure safety. Seeking professional assistance is imperative for individuals struggling with prescription medication abuse or addiction to mitigate potentially dangerous side effects.
An Example of Prescription Drug Addiction
One prevalent example is opioid addiction, where individuals become dependent on pain medications, experiencing adverse effects on health and relationships. Despite escalating consequences, addiction persists, often leading to illicit means of obtaining drugs. Recognizing the signs of prescription drug addiction is crucial for timely intervention and treatment. At Banyan Treatment Centers, our experienced staff is trained to identify and address the unique challenges associated with prescription drug addiction, offering compassionate care and support every step of the way.

On Going Prescription Pill Rehab
We offer a range of addiction treatment services tailored to individual needs, addressing dependencies on prescription drugs like benzos and heroin. Our comprehensive support programs aim to guide patients toward recovery.
Banyan Treatment Levels of Care for Prescription Pill Rehab Includes:
- Medical Detox
- Residential Treatment
- PHP
- IOP
- Outpatient Treatment
Our prescription drug addiction treatment is held on one of several various levels of care, depending on the client’s needs. Following a clinical assessment, clients may be placed in our residential program, partial hospitalization program (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), or outpatient program. Our programs are specially designed for individuals who require medical treatment – such as medically assisted detox – and 24-hour care.
Our PHP, IOP, and outpatient programs are each less intensive forms of care than our residential program and are best suited for individuals who are medically stable and do not require round-the-clock supervision or support. These programs allow clients to return home after their sessions and go to work or school outside of rehab.
Substance abuse is often tied to mental health disorders, which is why we also offer dual diagnosis treatment and cognitive behavioral therapy to help you combat both issues at the same time. Our family and couples therapy can help you repair the strained relationship that has resulted from your addiction. At our substance abuse rehabs, we make it our goal to provide all our patients with the tools they need for sober living and to have a more fulfilling life.
Our rehab centers offer additional treatment options, including:
- Faith-Centered Treatment
- Family Programs
- Mindfulness Programs
- SMART Recovery Program
- Stabilization Programs
- Relapse Prevention Program
- Alumni Program
- And More
