America - We Have A Problem - The Prescription Drug Epidemic

America - we have a problem. Prescription drugs are killing over 100 people a day in the US.

You may be surprised to learn that prescription medications are the most abused drugs in the United States right now. Leading the charge as the most abused are painkillers derived from opioids. And it's quickly rising to epidemic proportions.

When used optimally, prescription medications derived from opiates relieve pain from surgeries, address chronic pain from accidents and long term injuries or illnesses. When abused, they cause a euphoric high feeling that many people find intoxicating and desirable. The pathway to prescription drug addiction isn't as clear cut as we would like to believe - most addicts begin using these drugs for a legitimate reason and have a prescription from a licensed physician. They simply aren't prepared for how highly addictive these drugs are. Opioids, like Oxycodone, cause the body to crave the drug and continually increase the amount to obtain the same euphoric high. The tolerance builds quickly and causes the user to continually need more and more to get high.

The only way to combat your addiction to prescription drugs is to attend a prescription drug rehab program. Under no circumstances should individuals who are addicted to painkillers or any other prescription medication attempt to detoxify themselves or treat themselves.

Withdrawal symptoms associated with detoxification from prescription drug abuse can be severe, and you will need to have professionals present during both the detoxification process and rehabilitation process. During the latter, professional therapists and counselors can help you get to the root of your addiction problem.

When it comes to choosing a prescription drug rehab center, many of those struggling with drug abuse will find it difficult to make an educated choice. Dealing with an addiction problem in yourself or in a family member or close loved one can be overwhelming. Thinking about where you should attend treatment, what kind of program you need and what you should be doing may seem like an insurmountable task.
