Prescription Drug Rehab at Tampa Bay Recovery: Your Path to Recovery

Prescription drugs play a vital role in treating physical and mental health issues, but when misused, they can lead to addiction. At Tampa Bay Recovery, our prescription drug rehab program is designed to help people address this growing problem and guide them toward a life free from substance abuse. We work closely with each individual to identify triggers, develop healthy coping strategies, and prevent relapse. Our program empowers individuals to regain control of their lives and overcome addiction.

What Are Prescription Drugs?

Prescription drugs are medications provided by a doctor to treat specific health conditions. They help manage pain, mental illness, chronic disease, and more. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly half of all people take at least one prescription drug within a 30-day period, and one in four take three or more. While these medications offer crucial health benefits, they also carry the risk of addiction when misused. When this occurs, attending a specialized prescription drug rehab program is essential for recovery.

Types of Prescription Drugs

The prescription drugs most associated with addiction fall into three primary categories:

• Opioids: Commonly prescribed for pain management, opioids include OxyContin, codeine, fentanyl, and Vicodin. In 2021, 16,706 overdose deaths in the U.S. were linked to prescription opioids.
• Depressants: Used to treat anxiety, sleep disorders, and seizures, depressants include benzodiazepines like Xanax, Librium, and Valium.
• Stimulants: Often prescribed for ADHD and sleep disorders, stimulants include medications like Adderall and Ritalin.

Each of these drugs can be helpful when used as directed but may lead to dependency when abused. Tampa Bay Recovery helps individuals overcome addiction to these and other prescription medications.

How Does Prescription Drug Rehab Work?

At Tampa Bay Recovery, we recognize that no two people have the same journey into addiction. That’s why we start with a comprehensive assessment to understand each individual’s history with prescription drug use. Based on this assessment, we create a tailored treatment plan that addresses both addiction and any co-occurring mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety.

Once the plan is in place, individuals attend various therapy sessions aimed at breaking the cycle of addiction. These sessions are scheduled to ensure a smooth flow between different types of therapy, with each one offering a unique benefit toward long-term recovery. For those experiencing withdrawal symptoms, we provide medical and psychological interventions to ease the process.

Signs and Symptoms of Prescription Drug Abuse

Recognizing the signs of prescription drug addiction is crucial for seeking help. Common symptoms include:

• Taking higher doses than prescribed
• Using medications without a prescription
• Doctor shopping to obtain multiple prescriptions
• Withdrawal symptoms when not using the drug
• Inability to quit despite trying
• Cravings that lead to continued use
• Drug use affecting relationships, career, or education
• Changes in weight or sleep patterns
• Physical or cognitive difficulties with no other cause

If you or someone you love is experiencing these symptoms, attending prescription drug rehab is essential for recovery.

How Does Outpatient Detox in Tampa Work?

Our outpatient detox in Tampa allows the person to come to us for treatment during the day and then go back home while attending other outpatient programs. This helps the person to achieve a balance between getting the important help they need and still being able to meet the responsibilities of their personal lives.

Our medical team monitors each person regularly for withdrawal symptoms. We can provide medical and psychological support to help ease them. This includes any necessary FDA-approved medications that ease the withdrawal process including medication-assisted treatment.

What To Expect During Detox?

Detox is the process of ridding the body of drugs and/or alcohol, which can lead to uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. Depending on the substance, withdrawal can be life threatening. For those looking to attend outpatient detox, patients must qualify.

If a client does not qualify for our outpatient detox in Tampa, we will refer them to a local detox in the area before coming to us.

When a person first arrives to detox, a thorough assessment will be performed. This allows the medical staff to understand the individual’s unique needs and design a program suited to meet them. Factors include the substances being abused, the typical dosage, and how long the addiction has gone on. Other things the treatment team will consider are the person’s physical and mental health, dual diagnosis disorders, and any previous attempts at detox.

All of these factors influence your withdrawal symptoms as well as how long detox will last.

Once the person completes the detox process, we will provide a recommendation for the next step in treatment. We offer several levels of follow-up outpatient rehab that complement what the person accomplishes in detox.
