Top Abused Prescription Drugs
Several prescription medications with a high abuse or dependency potential exist, which can lead to substance use disorders. Prescription medications with a high abuse potential include Oxycodone, Vicodin, Xanax, Morphine, Fentanyl, Ritalin, Valium, and Clonazepam. Another class of prescription drugs exists that usually only causes physical dependence and extremely rarely needs addiction treatment. These include antidepressants like Zoloft and sleep aids like Lunesta. However, these types of cases may need mental health treatment to help patients manage their disorders without the use of medications.
Some of the top abused prescription drugs include:
Opioid Painkillers
Prescription painkillers like morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, and oxycodone are commonly prescribed for severe pain from injuries and surgeries. Unfortunately, they are also highly addictive and at high risk for fatal overdose. Prescription opioid addiction can be just as complex to treat as illicit opioids, like heroin. Many users who struggle with heroin addiction have contributed the start of their substance use disorder to prescription opioid painkillers. Methadone is another opioid painkiller and is also used in opioid detox and recovery but can also have a high abuse potential.
Stimulants
Primarily prescribed to treat disorders like ADHD and narcolepsy, they can be easily abused by those without these conditions. College students commonly pass around prescription stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin in an attempt to increase focus when studying. Others may use prescription stimulants for weight loss and to stay awake, such as in the case of night shift workers. Prescription stimulant abuse can lead to medical health issues primarily affecting the cardiovascular system.
Antianxiety Medications and Sedatives
Prescription anxiety medications like barbiturates and benzodiazepines are used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders. These medications include Xanax, Klonopin, and Valium. While they are highly effective in treating these disorders, they are meant for short term use only. Long term use or combining them with other substances such as alcohol, can lead to physical dependence and addiction. Benzos primarily act on neurotransmitters in the brain which can lead to severe and dangerous withdrawals when attempting to stop use. Medical detox may be necessary to safely come off benzos and reduce the risk of seizures during withdrawals. Dual diagnosis treatment is often needed to treat co-occurring anxiety disorders often seen in prescription sedative addiction.
Dextromethorphan and Cough Medications
Dextromethorphan (DXM) is the active ingredient in cold and cough medications, which can create feelings of euphoria and hallucination similar to PCP when taken in large quantities. Cough medicine abuse is popular among teenagers because they are easily accessible in pharmacies. DXM abuse can lead to severe withdrawals when attempting to stop use.
Methadone Detox in Los Angeles
Methadone is a synthetic opioid traditionally used as a prescription pain medication. It is also commonly used to help treat certain opioid addictions such as heroin to reduce withdrawals and cravings. Because it attaches itself to opioid receptors, someone who already suffers from addictions may develop methadone dependency more easily. Detoxing from methadone can take significantly longer than other opioids as it is a long-acting opioid. Withdrawal symptoms begin within the first 24 hours and last up to several weeks.
Medical detox at Sylvan detox in Los Angeles can help ease the methadone withdrawal process through medication-assisted treatment and several detox services. Around-the-clock medical care and supervision can ensure your safety and help you slowly wean off methadone as opposed to quitting cold turkey. Patients can then easily transition into drug rehab where underlying issues are addressed to be able to achieve long-term recovery. We understand the psychological hold methadone can have on someone and the challenges of regaining control of your life. Our methadone detox program will reduce any apprehensive feelings you may have surrounding the detox process.
