    PRESCRIPTION DRUG addiction treatment in Newport Beach, CA

    Whether it’s abusing medication prescribed for attention deficit disorder or taking stimulants or sedatives that affect the central nervous system, not only are there many risk factors associated with addiction to prescription drugs, but the chance of drug overdose is also extremely high.

    Unlike the image we usually expect when we think of substance abuse, prescription drug addiction doesn’t involve illegal drugs. Instead, it involves the non-medical misuse or abuse of drugs typically prescribed by medical doctors.

    The Most Commonly Abused Prescription Medications

    • Opioids like Oxycontin and fentanyl
    • Benzodiazepines (benzos) like Xanax and Valium, used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders like insomnia
    • Prescription stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin, used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
    • Antidepressants like Wellbutrin and trazodone
