Addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem among people in Ireland
Prescription drug abuse is complicated by the fact that these drugs are legal and less stigmatised than illegal drugs.
Pregabalin | Tramadol | Painkillers | Codeine | Benzodiazepines
However, the ability to buy online has only accentuated the problem. Addiction to prescribed medication can have just as devastating an effect on the life of the user.
Treatment for Prescription Drug Addiction
At Smarmore Castle, near Dublin, we effectively treat people with prescription drug addiction through a prescription drug rehab plan which includes consultant psychiatric care, detox, medical treatment, addiction therapies and complementary therapies, in line with our 12 Step treatment model.
If the addiction stemmed from the use of painkillers to treat chronic pain, our chronic pain management programme helps our patients to resume a drug-free life, managing their condition without the use of addictive drugs.
