Just because a doctor prescribes a medication, doesn’t mean you can’t become addicted. Our Christian Drug Rehab in Florida has seen an increase in admissions with patients addicted to Prescription Medication. Many of these patients denial is amplified by the fact that their drug of choice was prescribed by their doctor. Any medication or drug that is mood-altering can be addictive. Many of the patients use the medication for legitimate reasons and the use turns to abuse because of a low tolerance to pain. People start to increase the dosage or shorten the time between application to relieve symptoms and the end result is addiction.

 Patients with prescription addiction are admitted to our detoxification unit which is part of our Christian Drug Rehab. Our Physicians patiently explain the medical aspect of what happened to the patient and way the ended up in a drug rehab. Some of these addictions have a short history but some have persisted for years and our Christians Therapists help the patient work through the fallout of destruction present in life of any addict.

 While illegal drug use gets the most attention when people talk about drug addiction, it is easy to overlook the legal drugs that are used for recreation, which leads to addiction. Medicine cabinets all over America have become the source of drugs for young and old alike looking for a “free high”. Proper use of Rx meds and disposal of unused meds can reduce the risk of addiction. But when there is an addiction, please seek professional help at a Christian Drug Rehab.

Inpatient detoxification for Christians is not very prevalent, but is now available in a inpatient rehab called A New Life at Lakeview. It is not like inpatient detox ification for Christians is medically different  from other inpatient detox programs, just that a spiritual component is added to assist in the detox process.

Inpatient detox for Christians incorporates prayer, scripture study and pastoral counseling when the patient is medically and emotionally ready to particiapte. This usually does not transpire in the first day or two as the patient is still quite unstable, but is still available to him or her if they feel up to it.
