Increase of Prescription Drug Addiction

The increase in prescription drug addiction has led to a change in the drug addict. The usual stereotypes are thrown out the window. People who are not typically seeking drugs of abuse are becoming dependent on the medications they have been prescribed for health problems. These medications are usually intended to be a short term solution for a health malady or pain. As the body builds up tolerances to the influences of the drug, the individual will begin to abuse more drugs to feel the same desired effects. The risks of developing an addiction and even overdose come from the alarming abuse of these medications.

Measures are being taken to address the abuse of prescription drugs. Pharmaceutical companies have begun to develop medications that have anti-abuse technologies. This is intended to dissuade the abuser from using medications in any manner other than intended. The best measure for individuals who are addicted to medications is through a treatment facility and proper drug rehab. A prescription drug addiction treatment program can provide the care and therapy for putting the struggles of abuse and addiction into remission.

Treatment for Prescription Drug Addiction

At Cirque Lodge, our residential addiction treatment program begins with the individual. The program is tailored to address their needs and a proper diagnosis is made on those needs. The client is educated on the nature of addiction and what measures are needed to overcome it. Cirque Lodge is founded on the 12-step program and special care is taken on getting the individual on the proper path for long term recovery. Support is also provided throughout this process. The prescription drug addict must always understand there is support to help them with their struggles.

Therapy is also an integral part of the prescription drug addiction treatment program. Personal and group therapies can help in dealing with some of the struggles that have a hand in the abuse of these drugs. Each resident of Cirque Lodge is assigned a treatment counselor that provides private therapy sessions. This is a climate for dealing with underlying traumas and struggles. A caring professional can be influential in providing proper counsel and support for the recovery process.

Programming for the Family

Cirque Lodge also offers treatment elements for the family. While a loved one is in treatment, family members are encouraged to come and participate in family programming. An important aspect of this programming is an education on the nature and behaviors of addiction. This can raise awareness within the family unit. It can create an internal look at the family system and if there are struggles with enabling and codependency within the home. Special therapy sessions are also utilized to open lines of communication between family members.

This education is also important for preparing the family on their role in the recovery process. Overcoming the struggles of prescription drug abuse and addiction can take some time. After completion of a prescription drug addiction treatment program, the family can be an effective influence on continuing the effort of recovery and relapse prevention. There are also recovery programs and support groups for family members if they are needed. Supportive influences can be a vital crutch for the recovering prescription drug addict. This all begins within a supportive home committed to long term recovery.

Creating a Plan for the Recovery Process

When completing drug rehab at Cirque Lodge, the individual is provided with tools to help them in the recovery process. This is done by creating a Continuing Care Plan for that client. Our aftercare staff will coordinate these efforts prior to the client leaving treatment. Upon discharge the client then has options and a strategy in place for continuing recovery and help for relapse prevention. Central to this plan is continuing the efforts of the 12-step program by getting involved in local meetings and working with a sponsor.

Cirque Lodge clients are also granted a Guesting Privilege when they complete the prescription drug addiction treatment program. The main stipulation is that the individual has remained sober, but alumni can return at anytime and guest at the facility. This gives them a chance to refocus their efforts on recovery and receive treatment if needed. Alumni can also return during family programming and take part in lectures, workshops and activities if they so desire. These privileges are exclusive to this facility and show the level of commitment and care of the program.
