Painkiller Treatment

Prescription painkillers are medications that are prescribed by healthcare professionals to manage moderate to severe pain. These medications are stronger and require a prescription because they have a higher potential for misuse, dependence, and addiction.

Can I Get Addicted?

Yes, it is possible to become addicted to prescription painkillers. Prescription painkillers, particularly opioids, have a higher potential for dependence and addiction compared to other medications. Even when taken as prescribed, these medications can cause physical and psychological dependence for some individuals. If prescription pain medications have become a problem for you call us today at 877-716-4464 our team at Live Oak Detox will be happy to assist you in way we can.

Is Painkiller Treatment Right for You?

At Live Oak Detox we utilize many comprehensive treatment plans to ensure the best outcomes for our patients both clinically and medically. Some ways in which we start to address pain killer is addiction is to consider a persons back ground and their appropriateness for Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): MAT combines counseling or behavioral therapy with medications to manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. Medications such as, buprenorphine, and naltrexone may be used for opioid addiction, while medications like disulfiram and Acamprosate can be used for alcohol dependence.

Our Center has all Licensed Clinical staff to provide Individual Therapy/Counseling: Individual therapy involves ongoing sessions with a trained therapist or counselor to explore the underlying causes of addiction, develop coping strategies, and work on relapse prevention. Common therapy approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

Another important part of treatment is Group Therapy and Support Groups: Group therapy involves participation in counseling sessions with other individuals facing similar challenges. Support groups, such as Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous, provide a platform for sharing experiences, receiving support, and building a sober network.

At Live Oak Detox we are also able to provide Dual Diagnosis Treatment: This type of treatment is designed for individuals who have both substance abuse issues and co-occurring mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. It involves tailored treatment plans that address both conditions simultaneously.

For those interested we also have Holistic/Alternative Therapies: Our treatment programs incorporate holistic or alternative approaches to complement traditional methods. These include yoga, meditation, art therapy, and mindfulness practices. These approaches aim to promote emotional healing, stress reduction, and overall well-being. These are electives and are available for anyone who choses to participate. 

Remember, seeking help for prescription painkiller addiction is a courageous step. It’s important to reach out to professionals who can guide you through the process and provide the support necessary for recovery.

Factors that Contribute to Pain Killer Addiction

Prolonged use: Continuous use of opioids can lead to tolerance, which means higher doses are required to achieve the same pain relief. This can eventually result in physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation.

Misuse or abuse: Taking prescription painkillers other than how they were prescribed, such as taking higher doses, taking them more frequently, or using them without a prescription, greatly increases the risk of addiction.

Personal factors: Some individuals may be more susceptible to addiction due to genetic, environmental, or psychological factors. A history of substance abuse or addiction, mental health conditions, or a family history of addiction can increase the risk.
