Understanding Prescription Drug Addiction
Prescription drug addiction occurs when someone begins misusing medications such as opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, or sedatives. Whether the addiction begins with a valid prescription or recreational misuse, the impact can be devastating. At KASA Recovery, we provide nonjudgmental support and evidence-based care tailored to each client’s needs.
Let's have a look at the types of commonly abused prescription drugs:
Prescription Opioids:
Prescription opioids or painkillers are used to treat pain and sometimes even to treat diarrhea or coughing. They provide relief from moderate to severe pain. Some common prescription opioids are hydrocodone (Vicodin / Lortab / M365 pills), fentanyl, morphine, codeine, and oxycodone (Percocet or Perc 30 or OxyContin). Prescription opioid misuse and drug overdose deaths from prescription opioids have increased significantly since 1999. Approximately 2 million people age 12 or older had an opioid use disorder in 2018.
Prescription opioid side effects include vomiting, stomach pain, nausea, constipation, tiredness, and more. Prescription opioids are also called Oxy, Percs, and Vikes in slang.
KASA Recovery, a leading outpatient treatment center in Los Angeles, offers individualized opioid addiction recovery programs designed to support lasting healing and sustainable recovery.
