In simple terms, prescription drug abuse occurs when an individual uses a prescription medication in any way other than it was prescribed or for non-medical reasons.
Some examples of prescription drug misuse and abuse include:
Over time, misusing or abusing prescription drugs can build dependency. Once a person has become dependent on a drug, they may begin engaging in riskier behaviors and going to greater lengths to obtain and/or use the drug. Often, as time goes on, dependency leads to addiction. At this point, a person may find that they are unable to manage or control their drug use whatsoever.
The most commonly abused prescription drugs in the United States are those with the highest risk of developing dependency. In other words, highly addictive prescription medications are most frequently misused and lead to the most instances of prescription drug addiction.
Some examples include:
While these are some of the most commonly misused and abused prescription drugs in the United States, there are many other types of medications that pose a serious risk of abuse, dependency, and addiction. If you or a loved one is struggling with any type of prescription drug addiction, know that help and healing are possible.
Because medications are often used in hospitals and prescribed to patients for legitimate reasons, it can be extremely difficult to detect when prescription drug use has crossed the line into misuse or abuse. Knowing the warning signs can allow you to seek help on behalf of yourself or someone you love.
Some of the most common warning signs of prescription drug misuse, abuse, and addiction include:
If you believe that your prescription medication usage has gotten out of control, or if you are concerned about a loved one, you are not alone. At The Lakes Treatment Center, our entire staff is here to provide the compassionate, personalized guidance you need in taking the first steps toward healing and recovery.
Our addiction treatment programs vary in duration depending on the needs of each patient. However, most patients undergo treatment for approximately 30 to 90 days, with the option for extended care.

Our team of skilled professionals is dedicated to providing treatment tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Our commitment to ongoing support ensures that patients have the resources they need to maintain sobriety.
The first step is to reach out to a healthcare professional or addiction treatment center for a confidential assessment. This assessment will help determine the severity of the addiction and the most appropriate treatment plan.
Relapse is a common concern for individuals recovering from addiction. It is important to have a relapse prevention plan in place and to continue to receive support after completing treatment.
To prevent relapse, it is important to maintain a strong support system, avoid triggers, and practice healthy coping mechanisms. Attending aftercare programs and participating in support groups can also be helpful.
It depends on the type of treatment program. Outpatient programs often allow individuals to maintain their daily responsibilities, while inpatient programs may require a more intensive focus on recovery.
