Prescription Drug Addiction

A prescription from a doctor doesn't make a drug safe to misuse. This page covers which medications are most often misused, what addiction looks like, and how to get help.

Getting Help

Treatment depends on which medication is involved. Some, like benzodiazepines, require a medically supervised taper to stop safely.
