Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment
A prescription that once helped now runs your day, or your loved one's. Woodard Recovery treats prescription drug addiction with evidence-based care, from safe medical detox through therapy and long-term aftercare. We match the plan to what you actually need, then stay with you as recovery holds.
How Woodard Recovery Treats Prescription Drug Addiction
Prescription drug addiction often starts with a legitimate prescription, which is part of what makes it hard to talk about and even harder to stop. If you or your loved one has been taking opioids, benzodiazepines, or stimulants past the point of control, the first step is a clinical assessment that determines the right level of care.
Where withdrawal needs medical management, treatment begins with supervised medical detox. Benzodiazepine withdrawal in particular can be dangerous to stop cold, and opioid withdrawal is intense enough that many people relapse just to make it stop. From there you move into residential care or an outpatient program. When depression, anxiety, or trauma sit underneath the addiction, we treat both together, because handling one and ignoring the other rarely holds.
Therapies We Use
Recovery rarely responds to a single fix, which is why your care plan pulls together several approaches at once. That usually means cognitive behavioral therapy to change the thinking behind use, group therapy for accountability, and family support so the people around your loved one heal too. When it fits clinically, we add medication-assisted treatment.
