Top Rated Painkiller Rehab for Residents of Lubbock

The use of prescription pain medication has been on the market for years for patients that are experiencing pain from preexisting medical concerns and are in need of relief after medical procedures. While the advancements in the medical world have given patients access to medication that has opened up a world of opportunities, it has also created numerous severe drug dependencies that have impacted the current opiate epidemic that the United States is facing now. When you first begin taking prescription painkillers, you are putting your trust in the medical system that has prescribed you a treatment method to open your ability to function freely throughout the day. Your use starts innocently, you are following the instructions of your doctor without knowing the dangerous side effects that can come from relying on prescription drugs. Often when you are in constant, excruciating pain you dream of being able to escape your body for even a moment to get relief from the pain you are feeling. The euphoric escape that can be felt with painkillers lures you in to give you the momentary pause from the aches and discomfort you are experiencing. This type of addiction is very hard to overcome and should be treated properly in our painkiller rehab for Lubbock residents.

Signs of Painkiller Addiction

When using prescription medications starts off as a method of pain management, the ability to know if you are becoming addicted can get blurred. You know you are in pain but you also know that you have strayed from the original use it was meant for. Knowing when it is time to reach out for help and find alternative methods to treating your pain can be challenging to decipher. 

Painkiller addiction can, in some cases, have the following signs. 

If you or someone you love is concerned about painkiller misuse and want to learn how to manage your symptoms without dependency on medications, call our compassionate team at Resurgence to see how other residents of Lubbock have freed themselves from the constraints of addiction. 

Commonly Abused Painkillers

It’s no secret that the pharmaceutical industry has created a vast amount of options to help patients manage all levels of pain. Whether you have acute symptoms or severe, there are options to give you the relief and comfort you need in a time of need. 

It is also no surprise that these medications can create dependencies among their users leading some to be physically and emotionally dependent. When you are in pain, oftentimes, it impacts your emotional well-being. When we aren’t feeling emotionally sound and content, it leads some to look for a mental escape paired with a physical escape from their pain, this is where opioid use becomes a dangerous combination. The allure of the initial euphoric feeling, that many chases after the first high but can never get back to, leads users to increase their dosage to reach their desired level of impairment. 

The market for prescription painkillers has grown exponentially over the years. Users have options to choose from with the most commonly abused painkillers being as follows:

Am I Addicted to Painkillers?

You begin taking prescription medications as a way to cope with your pain. You know what you are experiencing is real but you have also noticed that your ability to manage other areas of your life has been affected. Many ask themselves if they are actually addicted to painkillers or if it is merely a way for you to cope with the pain you are feeling. If you are unsure if you are addicted, you can ask yourself the following questions. 

1. Is my ability to maintain my work and home life commitments being affected?
2. Am I having to use more than prescribed to get the desired effect?
3. Has my focus shifted to only caring about taking the next dose and to reach the desired level. 
4. Have my loved ones or other people in my life commented on my use or noticed a shift in my overall wellbeing?
5. Am I unable to go a day without using prescription painkillers?

If you answered yes to any of these, it may be time to speak with one of your experts and explore your use with painkillers closer. Our caring team of experts wants to hear from you and will gain an understanding of your use of painkillers- what originally had you using painkillers, how your use has progressed, and your consumption patterns.
