Prescription Drug Detox
When you or someone close to you is suffering from a certain medical condition, it’s natural to seek assistance from a medical professional. This might be in the form of pain-relieving medication which can help improve the symptoms of the illness and allow you to continue with your daily routine. The moment you take that first pill though, this could lead to addiction.
Sometimes,patients can become addicted even after taking painkillers for only one time.
If that’s not enough already – it only takes one experience with substance abuse for an addict to fall right in! But there are several actions you may take today if you think you’ve taken drugs more than usual or if they make life more challenging. You need not suffer alone any longer!

In the United States, fentanyl and its parallels have contributed to more
In 2018, 67,367 drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States. The age-adjusted rate of overdose deaths decreased by 4.6% from 2017 (21.7 per 100,000) to 2018 (20.7 per 100,000). Opioids—mainly synthetic opioids are currently the main cause of drug overdose deaths.
Addiction to Prescription Drugs is a pattern of physical and emotional responses that stem from your physical dependence on opioids. As you attempt to evade withdrawal symptoms, your behaviors change unpredictably. This can have a devastating impact on the quality of your life and impact your career, friendships, and family relationships.
The non-medical use of Prescription Drugs and the use of heroin in North America have escalated into a crisis of overdose deaths. The opioid market has become more varied, especially in the United States, where it is comprised of a combination of internationally regulated substances (e.g. heroin) and prescription medicines, diverted from the legal market or produced as counterfeit medicines. These counterfeited medicines contain fentanyl and fentanyl analogs, as well as non-opioid substances such as derivatives of benzodiazepine and methylphenidate. Most of the fentanyl recently seized in the United States has been of non-pharmaceutical origin. The pills and powders containing such substances sold on the illicit market pose a threat to public health because of the variable quantity and potency of the active components, which in severe cases, such as with carfentanil, may be thousands of times more potent than morphine. Such products can prove particularly dangerous when sold on the street together with heroin or as counterfeit prescription drugs, without the user’s knowledge.
