Book Free ConsultationPrescription drug addiction is one of the most misunderstood forms of substance use disorder. Because the substance came from a doctor, many people struggle to recognize when use has crossed into dependence — and feel shame about seeking help.
At Sunflower Clinic, we treat prescription drug dependence as the medical condition it is. Whether you're dependent on benzodiazepines (Xanax, Ativan), opioid painkillers, sleep aids (Ambien, Lunesta), or prescription stimulants (Adderall, Ritalin), we provide evidence-based therapy designed for safe, gradual recovery.
Abruptly stopping certain prescription drugs can be dangerous. Our team coordinates with your healthcare providers to ensure your safety at every step of the recovery process.
Recognize the Warning Signs
Taking medication in higher doses or more frequently than prescribed
Feeling unable to function without the medication
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms between doses
Obtaining prescriptions from multiple doctors
Using someone else's prescription medication
Hiding or lying about your medication use
Our Treatment Approach
Every prescription drug has different pharmacology, and treatment must be tailored accordingly. We create individualized recovery plans based on the specific substance, duration of use, and your overall health.
Benzodiazepine recovery requires particular care — we coordinate with your healthcare providers to ensure safe, gradual dose reduction while providing intensive therapeutic support throughout.
Throughout the process, you'll work with a therapist on anxiety management, sleep hygiene, pain coping strategies, or whatever skills are needed to build a fulfilling life in recovery.
