Drug Rehab Blog

The new problem of drug addiction we face comes from our very own medicine cabinets. Prescription drugs and pain medications are growing to be a greater problem in many communities than illicit street drugs. Each day, there are stories of pharmacies across the country being robbed for pills containing oxycodone, benzodiazepines, and hydrocodone. When such perpetrators are caught, most of the time it was to feed their own addictive cravings. Treatment programs and drug rehab facilities are also seeing a drastic increase in individuals struggling with prescription medications.

At the Cirque Lodge, we have seen this increase as well. A growing number of our residents are individuals who have struggled with addictive prescription medications. These individuals are treated with a personalized drug rehab program and cared for on an individualized basis. A number of effective therapies and activities are used to help the individual overcome the problem of prescription drugs. Recovery programs and 12-step efforts are implemented to provide support when drug rehab is completed. We may not always be able to prevent someone from getting addicted to prescription drugs. However, there is treatment available to help individuals overcome their problems of addiction to the pills.
