Do you need help to get off of prescription drugs?

You got a prescription drug from you doctor. Pharmaceutical drugs have been part of your daily routine. It’s a prescription so it couldn’t be bad . . .

Prescription Drug Addiction

1. How Prescription Dependency Starts

Most every person who contacts me with a prescription drug dependency or addiction horror story relays a similar story. Essentially they were blind sided, caught unsuspectingly by a doctor or psychiatrist who was all too eager to write a prescription, then another prescription and another. This story is the ‘usual’ to me.

So don’t punish yourself for being trusting. Realize you got burned and learned a hopefully valued lesson. Drugs don’t cure anything.

2. Attempts to Detox from Prescription Drugs

The problem is that attempting to detox from pharmaceutical prescription drugs can be difficult if not devastating. Sleep problems, magnified past problems, new health problems and the big problem: withdrawal symptoms that seem to persist for months or years.

Hell couldn’t be painted with a darker color of red, warning all who enter, “If you take drugs for pleasure today, they’ll be hell to pay tomorrow”. Clients I speak with about their attempts at detoxing from prescription meds, tell me tragic stories of despair and failed detox. Doctors just have more or different prescriptions to write them, and demonstrate they don’t know how to truly help take them off the very drugs they put them on.

3. A Better Detox Solution

There is a better way to detox from prescription pills.

It should not be surprising to you that getting healthy, really healthy is a major part of a proper detox solution. Detoxing from prescription meds is best done under medical care in a supervised setting. In this environment, any detox problem that comes up can be quickly addressed. Sometimes, simple reassurance is all that is needed, but the concerns are addressed immediately.

Integrative, holistic and naturopathic medicine along with natural detox assistance makes for a better detox solution.

Prescription Drug Detox

Every person detoxing from prescription medications or ill for that matter has two major issues they are unknowingly dealing with.

1. People detoxing from prescription drugs are dehydrated and don’t know or can’t properly hydrate themselves
2. Anyone detoxing or ill is malnourished and unaware or unable to properly and adequately meet the desperate demands required by the body to smoothly detoxify

A proper detoxification program would then focus on many methods of assisting hydration.

Sensible and humane detox would also specialize in nutritional supplementation through many different avenues, holistic, inter venous, vitamins, whole foods, proteins, herbs, etc.

Medical Detox

All too often, medical detox focus and specialize in only medications and more prescription drugs. While sometimes pharmaceuticals are needed, this should never be the focus of a medical detox.

Proper medical detox is holistic and uses integrative or all inclusive medical practices which focus on health and healing, not drugging and disease. Centers and programs which specialize in natural healing and detox are discussed on drugrehabadvisor’s integrative medical detox page.
