RX rehab has become more and more necessary over the last two decades due to the explosion in prescription opioid abuse across the United States. There are other categories of prescription drugs that are abused, but opioids have become a singular issue, reaching epidemic levels in many of the 50 states.  Local municipalities are at a loss as to how to combat the issue when it affects their area.  Having a top rated prescription drug rehab program near you is always a plus. 

Promoting treatment is especially important when  it comes to prescription drug abuse as many of the substances are being acquired legally.  As they are so easy to attain, it is important to address all three areas that drug abuse and addiction can affect a person during RX rehab.  Anybody who struggles with drug abuse or addiction may have their mind, body, and spirit impacted.  So as part of RX rehab, we at Muse know we need to address not only the physical, but also the emotional and psychological effects of addiction. All of these aspects are considered when we develop each of our patient’s rehab care plans. 

Most of our patients can expect to go through several phases of treatment during their RX rehab.  It is quite common for our clients to need drug detox, drug rehab, and possibly specialized aftercare due to the nature of the most prevalent category of prescription drugs being abused: opioids.  Oxycontin, which is a slow-release form of the narcotic drug oxycodone, and Hydrocodone, which, in combination with acetaminophen, is marketed under the brand name, Vicodin, are both powerful prescription opioids.  They are both highly addictive and often abused, although patients can become addicted even when the drugs are taken as ordered by a physician. 

In addition to detox and rehab therapy, individuals addicted to opioids can take advantage of our MAT program, or Medication Assisted Treatment.  This allows opioid abusers to have the substances in their body more slowly removed in order to limit the effects of withdrawal symptoms, which can be severe and long-lasting, in order for them to more easily enter and be successful in recovery.

One of the first questions our counselors are often asked is how long does RX rehab last.  Ironically, it’s usually the hardest to answer.  Every client we work with at Muse has a custom-tailored treatment plan developed for them, and even with such a comprehensive approach, a specific timeline is not the priority.  Helping people put the negative effects of prescription drugs behind them and teach them the skills they will need to be successful in recovery are our goals. Typically, the detox portion of drug rehab takes from four to 10 days.  This is much longer during a MAT program. 

Inpatient RX rehab can last 30, 60, or 90 days, again, based on the patient’s specific needs.  As for outpatient drug rehab, this is usually the most fluid for any patient.  Outpatient therapy can be once a week or many times, and can be in a one on one or group setting, or sometimes both.  A combination of treatments is something many drug rehab professionals recommend as different environments can assist a person’s progress in different ways.  Individual therapy offers the aspect of privacy, where a person may be more likely to share things that have happened in their life, whereas group sessions offer camaraderie and show people they are not alone in their struggle.

Besides the many substances in the opioid family, there are several other categories of prescription drugs that are abused.  Along with opioids, amphetamines are one of the most commonly abused prescription drugs. Examples include dextroamphetamine, which is marketed as Dexedrine and when combined with amphetamine, is supplied under the brand name Adderall. Cough medicine is another drug on the list, as the prescription versions can contain opioids, like codeine, too. When people are looking for a sedative, they often turn to benzodiazepines which are depressants that slow down brain and nervous system activity.   Barbiturates are also a type of central nervous system depressant within the realm of prescription medications. Both of these depressants are extremely dangerous as they can both result in life-threatening withdrawal symptoms.
