Ambien Addiction and Prescription Medication Addiction Help with Archstone Recovery

The addiction to Ambien and prescription medication can be challenging to overcome on your own. The withdrawal symptoms of these drugs, such as insomnia, agitation, and anxiety, are not easy to handle alone. Archstone Behavioral Health offers a holistic approach for those struggling with Ambien addiction or other prescription drug addictions by providing counseling services that offer the skills needed to recover from this type of substance abuse.

Signs of addiction to Ambien and prescription medications

Ambien is a prescription medication that is used to treat insomnia. Ambien is a controlled substance, and it is classified as a Schedule IV drug by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Ambien can be habit-forming, and it has been linked to addiction in some people. If you are addicted to Ambien, you may experience withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking the drug.

If you are concerned that you may be addicted to Ambien or another prescription medication, there are signs that you can look for. Common signs of addiction to prescription medications include:

  • Taking more of the medication than prescribed
  • Feeling like you need the medication to function or feel normal
  • Becoming defensive or secretive about your use of the medication
  • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking the drug.

If you are experiencing any of these signs, it is essential to seek help from a professional addiction treatment center. Archstone Behavioral Health can provide comprehensive care for people addicted to prescription medications.

Treatment for Ambien Addiction and Prescription Medication Addiction

Many different treatment programs are available for those who suffer from Ambien addiction or prescription medication addiction. Some of the most common programs include inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, 12 step programs, and therapy.

Inpatient rehabilitation is a program that requires patients to live at the rehab center during their treatment. This type of program is usually recommended for those with a severe addiction or those who have failed to overcome their addiction through other forms of treatment. Inpatient rehab provides around-the-clock care and support and access to therapists and counselors.

Outpatient rehabilitation is a less intensive form of treatment that allows patients to continue living at home while attending regular counseling sessions and group meetings. This program is a good option for those with mild to moderate addictions. It can also be used as an alternative or supplement to inpatient rehab.

Twelve-step programs are support groups that help recovering addicts stay sober and drug-free by sharing their experiences and offering mutual encouragement. The 12 steps were initially developed by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), the first such program founded back in 1935, but have since been adapted for use with other types of addiction. As they focus on staying clean one day at a time, these programs do not require patients to commit themselves long term – making them a popular choice among those who may not otherwise choose treatment due to time constraints resulting from work or family obligations.

Prevention of Ambien Addiction and Prescription Medication Addiction

People often turn to doctors for answers on how to get rid of their problems. However, by becoming a legitimate Ambien addict, you’re only going to perpetuate the problem and end up with a worse outcome in the long run.

The first step is recognizing that you have an addiction or dependency on this medication. If it’s been prescribed as part of your treatment program, then there may be no harm done yet; however, if you must take more pills each day than what was recommended to achieve results, then perhaps it might be time to seek help from Archstone Behavioral Health and find new ways to manage your issues without resorting back into drug use after getting clean/sober.

As always, please remember that all drugs, legal or otherwise, should be taken in moderation and only as prescribed by a doctor.
