Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment
Wondering whether your prescription medication use has crossed into addiction? At Dunham Institute, we treat prescription drug dependence with evidence-based care that starts with safe, medically supervised detox and continues through long-term aftercare. Whether you're seeking help for yourself or your loved one, we'll show you the next step.
How Dunham Institute Treats Prescription Drug Addiction
Wondering what treatment for prescription drug addiction actually involves, whether for yourself or someone you love? It starts with a clinical assessment that determines the right level of care, because opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants each carry different withdrawal profiles and risks. When withdrawal management is needed, medical detox keeps that process safe, since abruptly stopping certain prescriptions can be dangerous without supervision.
From there, treatment moves into residential programming or an intensive outpatient program, matched to your situation and support at home. If depression, anxiety, or another condition is present, we treat it alongside the addiction, not in a separate track later. Addressing both together is what makes recovery hold. Call us to talk through the specific next step.
Therapies We Use
Wondering what treatment actually looks like day to day? Your care plan combines proven approaches built around your needs. That means cognitive behavioral therapy to change harmful thought patterns, group therapy for shared accountability, and family support so the people who care about you understand the process. When clinically appropriate, we add medication-assisted treatment. One coordinated plan, adjusted as your loved one progresses.
