Prescription Drugs that are Most Often Misused

The National Institutes of Health reports three classes of prescription drugs that are most often misused:

  • Opioids or pain relieversHydrocodone (e.g., Vicodin), oxycodone (e.g., OxyContin, Percocet), morphine (e.g., Kadian, Avinza), codeine and related drugs
  • Central nervous system depressants—Benzodiazepines or benzos (e.g., Xanax, Valium, Ativan, Klonopin), used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders
  • Stimulants—Adderall or Ritalin, used to treat attention deficit disorder and narcolepsy (a sleep disorder)

Prescription drug addiction is a chronic disease that is treatable and can be held in remission through lifestyle changes.

Symptoms of Prescription Drug Addiction

Prescription drug addiction isn't always easy to spot. Common symptoms of prescription drug addiction can include: 

  • Changes in behavior, such as taking more of the drug than prescribed or using it more often
  • Regularly obtaining multiple prescriptions from different doctors or the streets
  • Struggling to focus or having memory problems
  • Using the drug in higher doses or for longer periods of time than intended
  • Taking risks, such as driving while under the influence
  • Experiencing feelings of withdrawal when not using the drug

Treating prescription drug addiction often involves: 

  • Drug detox

  • Therapeutic group sessions on topics ranging from family dynamics to grief and loss to relapse prevention
  • Careful use of medications 
  • Education both for our clients and for their families
