RECOGNIZING THE SIGNS

of Prescription Drug Addiction

Not everyone realizes they’re misusing their prescription, until the signs become impossible to ignore. Know that prescription drug addiction can develop quietly, even when the medications were initially taken as directed.

Here at Taylor Recovery, we help clients recognize the warning signs and take back control before the damage worsens. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Do you feel anxious, agitated, or physically unwell when you don’t take your prescription on time?
• Have you taken more medication than prescribed, or used it in ways other than directed (e.g., crushing, snorting, or combining with other substances)?
• Have you ever taken someone else’s prescription pills?
• Have you lied to or misled a doctor to get more medication, or visited multiple providers to secure multiple prescriptions?
• Are you experiencing job trouble, legal issues, or strained relationships due to your use?
• Have friends or family expressed concern about your medication use?
• Do you rely on your medication to cope with stress, sleep, or function daily?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be struggling with prescription drug dependence.

Worry not, for Taylor Recovery offers compassionate, evidence-based treatment to help you safely taper off prescription drugs, address underlying mental health concerns, and rebuild your life in a supportive environment. Call us at Taylor Recovery to get started.
