Our residential rehab for prescription drug addiction

We offer our detox and rehab programs in a home-like treatment facility to provide the time and space you need to build a solid foundation in sobriety.

Residential rehab

For those facing severe prescription drug addiction, our inpatient residential program offers 24-hour supervision and intensive care in a structured environment.

Located in the Los Angeles, CA area, our rehab provides comfortable semi-private rooms, nature outings, and locally sourced meals. Your treatment includes prescription drug detox with medication support, individual and group therapy, holistic therapies like yoga and art, life-skills training, 12-step meetings, and around-the-clock support from our dedicated staff.

Prescription drug detox care

The first step in overcoming substance abuse is detoxification, which helps rid the body of harmful substances.

Detoxing from prescription drugs can be challenging, especially when withdrawal symptoms are severe. Our medically supervised inpatient detox programs provide a safe, supportive environment where clients can manage withdrawal symptoms under the care of trained professionals. 

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) & Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

When you don’t require residential care, or are transitioning from it, or are looking for a more elevated level of care than a weekly therapy session, our PHP and IOP programs offer structured support while allowing you to maintain certain aspects of your daily routine.

Both programs include one-on-one and group therapy sessions with medication management where needed, case management sessions on an individual and group level, and our holistic therapy. Our outpatient treatment programs allow a more flexible schedule to live at home while attending the program during the day or evening and provides a community of mentors, relapse prevention education, personalized assessments, and holistic healing methods, and our PHP and IOP treatments ensure sustainable mind-body wellness.

What to expect with our PHP and IOP programs

What are prescription drugs?

Prescription drugs are medications that are legally prescribed by a healthcare provider to treat specific medical conditions. These medications are regulated by a federal agency to ensure their safety and effectiveness when used as directed. However, prescription drugs can be misused in ways that lead to addiction.  

Common types of prescription drugs include:  

  • Opioids: Prescription painkillers like oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, and fentanyl. You may be prescribed medication to treat chronic pain, which can then lead to dependence and addiction. 
  • Benzodiazepines: Medications prescribed to treat anxiety, sleep disorders, or muscle relaxation, including Xanax, Ativan, and Valium. These prescription medicines are highly addictive and can quickly lead to drug dependence. 
  • Stimulants: Prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), such as Adderall and Ritalin. You may like the effects produced by these drugs as they can help with focus and academic performance, but a reliance on these medications can turn into stimulant abuse. 
  • Sedatives: Medications like Ambien or Lunesta are typically used to treat sleep disorders. If you need this type of medication to sleep and can’t sleep without it, you could develop a dependence and need to continually use higher doses to achieve the same effect.

Signs and symptoms of prescription drug addiction

Recognizing the signs of prescription drug abuse is a critical first step toward recovery. Some common symptoms of prescription drug misuse or addiction include:  

  • Increased Tolerance: Requiring higher doses of the drug to achieve the same desired effect.
  • Doctor Shopping: Visiting multiple doctors to obtain multiple prescriptions for the same drug.  
  • Preoccupation with Medication: Spending excessive time thinking about, obtaining, or using prescription drugs.  
  • Physical Dependence: Experiencing withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, insomnia, muscle pain, or nausea, when attempting to reduce or stop using the drug.  
  • Loss of Control: Taking more medication than prescribed or continuing use despite negative consequences.  
  • Changes in Behavior: Mood swings, irritability, secrecy, and social withdrawal as a result of abusing drugs. 
  • Financial Problems: Spending large amounts of money on medications or related activities, resulting in financial instability.

If you or someone you care about is exhibiting these behaviors or symptoms, it may indicate prescription drug addiction and the need for professional treatment.
