Serenity at Summit is prepared to help stem the rising tide of prescription drug abuse in the Northeast.

PRESCRIPTION DRUG ADDICTION TREATMENT

DETOX, TREATMENT, ON-GOING SUPPORT

Pain relief is one of the most common reasons people look for medical support. Throughout history, different forms of narcotics have been prescribed to relieve the severity of pain. Today, chemically based narcotics are still recommended for pain relief, but unfortunately these drugs are highly abused.

Dependency on prescription painkillers is a growing concern in the United States. Non-medical use of pain medications has increased steadily over the past 10 years. More than 12 million people in the United States report using opioids non-medically. It is suspected that approximately 25 percent of pain medications prescribed in the U.S are used for addictive behaviors. These statistics are reported by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control.

ABOUT OPIOIDS

Opiates have been used for pain relief for centuries, but more recently opioids have replaced their role in pharmaceutical use. Opioids are a synthetic form of opiate. Some opioids are partially derived from natural substances, others are entirely manufactured.

Opioids are often sold as prescription level pain medications. They include:

• Morphine
• Oxycodone (Oxycontin & Percocet)
• Hydrocodone (Vicodin)
• Codeine

These chemically based narcotics are designed to influence the brain in an almost identical fashion to the natural substance.

WHAT ARE NARCOTICS?

PRESCRIPTION DRUG ADDICTION & ABUSE

Narcotics are highly addictive mood altering substances that relieve pain by influencing the perception of pain in the brain. They are only recommended for use under the direct supervision of a doctor, and only for a short period of time.

This class of drugs is broken in two primary categories:

• Opiates (Naturally Derived)
• Opioids (Synthetic)

The terms opiates and opioid are often used interchangeably.

OPIATE ADDICTION TREATMENT

Opiates have long been prescribed as a resource for relieving pain. Opiates are a natural pain relieving substance derived from opium, which comes from the poppy plant. While Opium is primarily grown in the Middle East, the United States is the number one consumer of the drug world-wide.

Examples of opiates include:

• Opium
• Heroin

Our opiate addiction treatment programs provide individualized treatment plans that work for you. Opiate addiction should be treated with a safe detox first, then individual and group therapy.
