Pain Medication Addiction Rehab

Naturally a person suffering from chronic debilitating pain often seeks relief through a combination of medication and various therapies. Symptoms lasting for extended periods of time as a result of physical injury are often exacerbated by emotional stress.

Traditional medications are effective at treating chronic pain symptoms, but are often highly addictive. Opioids such as Oxycontin and Percocet are synthetic pain relievers that can become addictive after a short time of usage.

This is where a holistic treatment approach can help: the key is how you perceive and relate to pain, which is just as important as the experience of the pain itself.

Chronic Pain Treatment

At Florida Center for Recovery, traditional and holistic therapies are carefully combined into a tailored treatment plan, helping to reduce suffering and help clients gain mastery over their habitual responses to chronic pain. Additionally, psychotherapy remains a vital component of treatment, ensuring any cognitive distortions or anxiety; depression is appropriately addressed as well.

One of the significant issues associated with chronic pain is inadvertent addictions to painkillers. Without proper management, sufferers of chronic pain end up relying more and more on high doses of painkillers, with diminishing relief; so not only do they end up suffering from pain, but also from addiction to strong pharmaceutical drugs. This is usually the point at which more comprehensive and skilled management is required.

At Florida Center for Recovery, we consider chronic pain from a biopsychosocial perspective - where in addition to medical assessment of any possible organic causes, multi-disciplinary pain management strategies are explored along with psychological assessments and an examination of the social factors associated with the condition.

If you suffer from chronic pain, or from an addiction to painkillers as a result of prolonged pain, contact us to find out how we can help. A combination of detox and an intensive residential addiction treatment is often recommended.
