Prescription medications can save lives—but when they’re misused, they can also take them.
Approximately 107,000 deaths each year in the United States are associated with prescription drug misuse and overdose. Behind every statistic is a son, daughter, parent, spouse, friend, or coworker whose life was forever changed.
Prescription medications such as opioid pain relievers, benzodiazepines, and stimulants can be highly effective when taken exactly as prescribed. However, taking more than directed, using someone else’s medication, combining medications with alcohol or other drugs, or continuing use beyond medical necessity can have devastating consequences.
The good news is that recovery is possible. Whether you’re concerned about your own prescription medication use or someone you love, help is available—and asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
At Bridgeway Recovery Center, we provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment for alcohol and substance use disorders in a supportive environment where healing can begin.
