Question by ghost: How do you recover from prescription drug abuse? ?
Best answer:
Answer by Acid09
If necessary hold an intervention. Get the addict to go to a detox clinic. Then get them involved in a program that specializes in treating prescription drug abuse. Regardless of your addiction, only a very small number of addicts ever stop on their own and most who do enter treatment relapse at some point.
But if an addict goes in with the attitude that they want to quit and are willing to go through the process they’ll triple their chance of success. When it comes to treating an addiction, attitude is 2/3 of the battle. And believe me it will be a major battle. The rest is just activily persuing sobriety by completing treatment and maintaining a life without drugs.
