Prescription Drug Rehab Center
According to National Center for Health Statistics and Centers for Disease Control Prevention, deaths from drug overdose are second only to motor vehicle accidents. This is up from under 20,000 in 1999 to almost 40,000 in 2007. The distribution of prescription drugs has dramatically increased over the last few years. In 2000, retail pharmacies dispensed 174 million prescriptions. In 2009, 257 million prescriptions were dispensed.
Palmetto can be the solution for anyone seeking help for addiction to prescription drugs. Often someone may have been prescribed a painkiller after an injury, but the person began to use those pills in ways other than directed, and soon a dependency emerged. Palmetto treats a wide range of prescription drug addictions, including, but not limited to:
- Xanax
- Adderall
- Benzodiazepines
- Vicodin
- Ritalin
- Ambien
- Percocet
- Valium
- Morphine
- Percodan
- Oxycodone
Our addiction treatment services go beyond painkiller addiction treatment. We can help with all classes of prescription drugs, making Palmetto one of the leading prescription drug addiction treatment centers in Louisiana.
Prescription drugs are legitimately and legally prescribed and so more easily accessible to prescription drug addicts who most often receive the substances they consume from friends and family.
Because prescription drugs are redly available and given by a healthcare professional, some people who abuse prescription drugs convince themselves and their families that there is not a problem. There are some ways that you can tell if you or your loved one is abusing prescriptions. They could be taking medicine that was prescribed to someone else or taking a larger dose than what was prescribed. There is a problem if the medicine is being injected or taken in a different way than was prescribed such as crushing and snorting or injecting it them into their bloodstream. If the purpose for the person taking the drug has gone beyond the purpose originally intended, such as getting high, then this person has a prescription drug abuse problem.
