Prescription Drug Addiction Rehab in Florida
In 2021, 5.1 percent (14.3 million) of the United States population aged 12+ reported misusing any prescription psychotherapeutic drug in the past year. 3.1 percent misused prescription pain relievers, whereas 1.7 percent misused prescription tranquilizers or sedatives, 1.4 percent misused benzodiazepines, and 1.3 percent misused prescription stimulant drugs.
Although prescription drugs have valid medical uses, some come with the potential for abuse and physical dependence, which can make it difficult to get off of them on your own. The misuse of prescription drugs can start in different ways, and seeking help for it is crucial.
Premiere Addiction Recovery offers detox and inpatient prescription drug addiction rehab in Florida. We accept most forms of insurance and are here to help you or your loved one stop using prescription drugs.
How Prescription Drugs Affect the Brain and Body
Various types of prescription drugs come with the potential for abuse, misuse, or addiction. The type of prescription drug you use will determine its short and long-term effects on your body and brain. For example:
- Stimulants: Misusing prescription stimulants can cause heart problems (including irregular heartbeat and heart attack), nerve problems, blood pressure changes, hallucinations, gastrointestinal distress, rapid breathing, anger, aggression, and overdose.
- Opioids: Misusing prescription opioids can cause slowed breathing, constipation, nausea, drowsiness, confusion, dizziness, coma, increased risk of using other opioid drugs (e.g., heroin), overdose, and death.
- Benzodiazepines: Misusing benzodiazepine drugs can cause memory problems, confusion, headache, dry mouth, blurred vision, shaking, gastrointestinal distress, appetite changes, slowed breathing, aggression, serious withdrawal symptoms, and overdose.
Some people consume multiple drugs (e.g., alcohol combined with prescription drugs). This is called polysubstance use. Combining prescription drugs with other substances can raise the risk of serious effects, like overdose and death.

Signs and Symptoms of Prescription Drug Abuse
How do you know if you’re abusing prescription drugs? Especially in the case of prescription drug abuse, which may have begun with a valid prescription in some instances, knowing the signs is essential. No matter what type of prescription drug(s) you use, the following signs may indicate a need for addiction treatment.
- Using a prescription drug in a higher amount or for a longer time period than directed by your medical provider.
- Needing to use prescription drugs in higher amounts than before to achieve the desired effects or experiencing diminished effects from using the same amount of a prescription drug.
- Continuing to use prescription drugs, even if they cause or worsen problems in interpersonal relationships (e.g., friendships, romantic partnerships, familial relationships).
- Continuing to use prescription drugs, even if they cause new or worsened unfavorable mental or physical health symptoms.
- Repeatedly using prescription drugs in dangerous situations (e.g., before operating heavy machinery or driving your car).
- Loss of interest or reduced participation in important activities or hobbies due to prescription drug use.
- Doctor shopping, falsifying prescriptions for, or otherwise illegally obtaining prescription drugs.
- Trying to stop or reduce the amount of a prescription drug you use but being unable to do so.
- Using prescription drugs for a reason other than what they were prescribed for.
- Cravings for (the desire to use) the drug.
Our prescription drug addiction rehab in Florida provides free intake assessments for prospective clients. We can help you or your loved one determine whether they need treatment and discuss any possible treatment barriers they might face.
Prescription Drug Detox and Inpatient Rehab at Premiere Addiction Recovery
Regardless of what your experience with prescription drug addiction is like, we will work with you to find and address the root cause. Here are the main programs we offer and a little bit about what they entail.
Detox can be a vital first step in prescription drug addiction treatment. If you do not have proper medical care, detoxing from some types of prescription drugs can be dangerous. For example, a cold turkey detox from benzodiazepines can be fatal following long-term use in some cases. We provide close monitoring and treatment for withdrawal symptoms in a comfortable environment.
Prescription drug withdrawal symptoms may include but aren’t limited to:
- Increased pain sensitivity (common in opioid drug withdrawal)
- Gastrointestinal distress (e.g., abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting)
- Increased anxiety or depression symptoms
- Hallucinations, delusions, or paranoia
- Body aches, pain, or weakness
- Sweating, shaking, or trembling
- Insomnia (trouble sleeping)
- Mood swings
- Drug cravings
- Seizures
Do not let the fear of getting off of prescription drugs stop you from doing so. Our detox center in Florida will help you or your loved one get through prescription drug withdrawal symptoms safely. If you are pregnant or postpartum, we have specialized detox services that can help.
Our residential treatment program in Orlando provides intensive therapy. As a residential client at Premiere Addiction Recovery, you will participate in six hours of group therapy per day. We follow a 12-step-based, individualized approach. Depending on your needs, you may participate in a combination of various treatments for addiction, including but not limited to the following.
- Evidence-based behavioral and motivational therapies for addiction and mental health.
- Specialized pathways for military veterans and other populations.
- Family education.
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT).
- Body and mind wellness.
- Experiential treatment.
- Beach meditation.
- Recreation.
Residential treatment at our center gives you a strong foundation for long-term recovery. Before you leave Premiere Addiction Recovery, our team will help you make an aftercare plan to aid your ongoing sobriety from prescription drugs, plan for your next steps, and ensure that you have someone to reach out to if you need it.
Dual-diagnosis treatment can be integral for those facing both prescription drug addiction and one or more additional mental health concerns. Addressing mental health concerns like mood disorders, trauma disorders, anxiety, and other conditions, alongside substance abuse in dual-diagnosis treatment is associated with positive outcomes. For example, improvement in psychiatric symptoms and functioning, a higher probability of successful treatment and recovery from both disorders, and better quality of life. Premiere Addiction Recovery offers dual-diagnosis treatment as part of our tailored, whole-person approach.
