Prescription Drug Addiction Rehab

If you are experiencing prescription drug addiction, you have likely tried to stop and found the withdrawal to be unbearable. In fact, withdrawal from these drugs can be life-threatening and should be done under medical supervision. Withdrawal from opiates like OxyContin and Percocet can entail extreme agitation, sweating, muscle spasms and aches, severe nausea and vomiting, dehydration, and abdominal pain. Withdrawal from benzodiazepines like Xanax or Valium can cause dangerous symptoms like seizures, hallucinations, delirium, insomnia, and nausea. Similarly, Clonidine withdrawal can present with anxiety, insomnia, rapid heart rate, and increased blood pressure. These symptoms combined with strong cravings are difficult to overcome on your own and often lead to relapse.
