Quit Prescription Drugs With Our Recovery Program
Our caring & skilled staff and personalized treatment approach allows you to stay on track without relapse.
The misuse of prescription drugs — taking them for reasons other than those prescribed — you risk significant changes in your brain.
This misuse starts as a choice, but over time, the drugs alter your brain’s functioning, impairing your decision-making abilities and increasing your cravings for more drugs.
Treating addiction to prescription drugs isn’t just about stopping drug use; it’s about reversing these changes in your brain. With the help of therapy and medication, treatment helps you regain control over your life.
It focuses on restoring your brain’s health and your ability to make healthier choices. This comprehensive approach is crucial for lasting recovery and ensuring you can lead a healthier, drug-free life.

Your Journey Towards Quitting Prescription Drugs
Get Your Life Back On Track Today.
Acknowledging and addressing your prescription drug addiction is a commendable first step. It’s a brave move that sets the foundation for your recovery journey.
At Centres for Health and Healing, we understand that addiction often stems from deeper issues, such as using drugs or alcohol to escape negative emotions, feelings, or memories. While this might seem like a temporary solution, it can lead to a loss of control over substance use and evolve into an addiction.
Our approach is personalized, focusing on both long-standing addiction and co-occurring mental health issues. We offer specialized treatment programs for various types of prescription drug addictions:
- Prescription opioids: Often used for pain relief, these drugs, including codeine, methadone, morphine, and oxycodone, can create a sense of euphoria leading to addiction.
- Prescription sedatives: Used to treat anxiety and insomnia, sedatives like barbiturates (e.g., pentobarbital), benzodiazepines (e.g., lorazepam and alprazolam), and sleep medications (e.g., zolpidem) are addictive due to their calming effects.
- Prescription stimulants: Drugs like amphetamines, prescribed for conditions like ADHD, can cause addiction due to their effects on alertness, attention, and energy.

FAQs
At Centres for Health and Healing, we offer programs of various lengths to suit your recovery needs. These include 30-day, 45-day, 60-day, and 90-day options designed to provide the right support and treatment intensity.
The duration of detox from prescription drugs varies widely among individuals due to several key factors. These include the length of time the drugs have been used, the dosage taken, and the specific type of prescription drug involved.
Additionally, personal factors like genetic makeup, age, and overall health condition also play significant roles in determining how long the detox process will last for each person.
Someone might get addicted to prescription drugs because these drugs have a way of triggering the brain’s reward system. When you take them, especially in ways not prescribed, they can release chemicals in your brain that make you feel good.
This feeling can lead to physical dependence and eventually addiction, as your body starts craving that same rewarding sensation.
