People all over the world take prescription medications to help treat conditions they’re facing in their lives. They may take something for a mental health condition like depression or anxiety or a pill to reduce their pain. Unfortunately, today’s most prescribed drugs in the United States can also be addictive and abused. If you’re facing an abuse or addiction issue due to these kinds of drugs, Crestview Recovery can help you get back to living a healthy, happy life. We’re here to help you on your recovery journey.
Today’s Most Prescribed Drugs Can Cause Addiction Issues
Not surprisingly, some of today’s most prescribed drugs today are for common issues of aging, such as high cholesterol, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure. But those aren’t the only medications being used in a big way. Many medications for depression and anxiety are being given to patients, as the numbers of these mental health issues rise. One of the biggest areas for the most prescribed drugs, though, and an area that’s putting a lot of people at risk, is pain management. Pain medications are some of today’s prescribed medications, with significantly dangerous results.
Many doctors years ago were led to believe that these kinds of medications weren’t addictive. Thus, they prescribed them in large numbers to patients who were dealing with pain. But the medications did have addictive properties. That led to a lot of people struggling with addiction when there may have been other ways or treatments that could have controlled their pain. If you’re battling an addiction to a pain medication — or any other prescribed drug — we can help you at Crestview Recovery. We know it’s not easy to conquer an addiction, but we also know that it’s easier with the right people on your side.
