Understanding Prescription Drug Addictions
Some people assume that prescription drugs are safe because they come from the doctor. This is not always the case, though. While taking medication prescribed by a doctor is fine, the drugs should only ever be taken in accordance with the doctor’s instructions, as many have dangerous side effects and are addictive.
Some of the prescription drugs that are highly addictive include opioids such as fentanyl, oxycodone, and morphine, as well as barbiturates, benzodiazepines such as Valium and Xanax, and stimulants such as Ritalin and Adderall that are used to treat ADHD. You might even become addicted to drugs that you can get over the counter, such as codeine, which can cause opioid addiction.
What Causes Prescription Drug Addictions?
Access to the Prescription Drug
One way a person may develop a prescription drug addiction is by simply having access to the drug. If they experience the positive side effects, they may want to continue experiencing them by taking more and more, eventually building a tolerance and physical dependence. This is particularly common with opioids.A Family History
People with a family history of addiction may be more likely to develop one themselves, as addictions can run in families.Early Exposure
Having early exposure to a drug can make it more likely that a person develops an addiction to it.Mental Health Conditions
Some mental health conditions make it more likely that a person will use drugs and, therefore, potentially develop an addiction. As an example, bipolar disorder can cause impulsive behavior like taking drugs.If you need help now finding a prescription drug rehab in California, call us now for a confidential consultation: 855-473-2087.
