Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment
A prescription that once made sense can slowly turn into something you or your loved one no longer control. At Skilton Institute, treatment for prescription drug addiction runs from safe medical detox through therapy and long-term aftercare, using approaches backed by evidence and shaped around the person in front of us.
How Skilton Institute Treats Prescription Drug Addiction
A prescription that once treated pain or anxiety can slowly become the thing your day revolves around. Whether it started with opioids after surgery or benzodiazepines for sleep, the path back begins with an honest look at where things stand right now.
Treatment at Skilton Institute starts with a clinical assessment that sets the right level of care. When withdrawal needs medical supervision, and it often does with opioids and benzodiazepines, medical detox manages symptoms safely instead of leaving you to tough it out alone.
From there, care continues through residential programming or an intensive outpatient program. If depression or anxiety is part of the picture, we treat it alongside the addiction, because for most people the two are tangled together and improve together.
Therapies We Use
No two care plans here read the same. One person needs steady structure around cravings; another needs help repairing trust at home. We build treatment around what actually works, combining cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, and family support. When it fits the clinical picture, medication-assisted treatment becomes part of the plan too. You and your loved one help shape it.
