Prescription Drug Addiction

When people are recovering from surgery, they need to take painkillers on a strict schedule or risk experiencing excruciating pain. Since much of a person’s initial recovery time is spent waiting for the nurse to deliver their pain medication, the schedule becomes a routine. Anyone who has spent time in a hospital knows that nurses are busy. When they deliver your medication, you take it. Unfortunately, addiction always remains a possibility.

Opioid Addiction Treatment in Portland, Oregon

When patients are discharged after surgery, they are usually given a prescription for pain medication. The bottle might say to take the medication every six hours as needed. The problem is that some prescription medication affects the way we think. It’s easy to lose track of time and take more medication than needed. This doesn’t mean people are trying to get high; it means they’re recovering from surgery and not thinking clearly.

If you are concerned that you are dependent on prescription medication, opioid treatment at Crestview Recovery can help. Our Oregon opioid addiction rehab program can help people get back on their feet and on with their lives. Call 866.262.0531 to learn more about prescription drug addiction rehab.

HOW PRESCRIPTION DRUGS BECAME AN EPIDEMIC

People often fall victim to addiction when they take pills for pain after surgery. Some of the most common pain-reducing or pain-killing drugs are opiates and benzodiazepines. The drugs are supposed to keep people comfortable after surgery. Even people who take the drugs exactly as prescribed by a doctor are at risk of developing a dependency. They often develop a tolerance to the medication even after the physical pain has subsided. Full-blown addiction and prescription drug dependency develop rapidly, which can be dangerous, especially when combined with other drugs.

The increase in prescription drug abuse has been paralleled by an increase in the number of overdoses from these drugs. In 2018, there were more than 70,000 deaths from opioid-related overdoses in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC also found that certain age groups are at particular risk for opioid overdoses; from 2013 to 2017, overdoses among adults aged 25 to 34 increased by 45%.

PHYSIOLOGICAL DEPENDENCE

The signs of drug addiction and abuse vary from person to person, and they depend on the amount of time the person has abused the prescription medication. One of the most common signs of addiction is the disappearance of finances on a rapid scale. Another symptom of prescription drug abuse is the lack of hygiene or the decline of hygiene. Emotional symptoms that one may exhibit include symptoms such as irritability, depression, and anxiety. Physical symptoms range, but some of the most common such symptoms are muscle cramps, breathing problems, drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting.

The most worrisome physiological symptom of prescription drug abuse is the body’s physical dependence on the drug. This can lead to withdrawal symptoms when trying to quit, which are often dangerous and even life-threatening. These include extreme sweating, trembling, insomnia, paranoia, nausea and vomiting, and cravings for more drugs. People who find themselves struggling with addiction to prescription drugs should seek professional help and support as soon as possible.
