Nova Transformations

Prescription Drug Rehab in Charlotte, NC

At Nova Transformations, we understand that prescription drug addiction is a complex condition that requires specialized, compassionate care. Our prescription drug treatment center in North Carolina offers evidence-based treatment programs designed to help individuals overcome dependency on prescription medications while addressing the underlying factors that contribute to substance use disorders.

With over 16 million Americans misusing prescription drugs annually and 5.76% of Americans over 12 having deliberately misused prescription drugs at least once in their lifetime, prescription drug addiction has become a significant public health concern. Our dual diagnosis approach at Nova Transformations recognizes that effective treatment must address both the addiction and any co-occurring mental health conditions.

Prescription Drug Addiction

Prescription drug addiction, also known as prescription drug use disorder, occurs when individuals misuse legally prescribed medications or use them without a prescription. Unlike illicit drugs, prescription medications begin as legitimate medical treatments, making addiction particularly challenging to recognize and address.

Our prescription drug treatment center in North Carolina provides specialized care for addiction to the most frequently abused categories of prescription medications:

The most common types of prescription drugs misused include pain relievers, with 5.3 million people having a substance use disorder involving pain relievers. These medications include:

1. Oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet)
2. Hydrocodone (Vicodin, Norco)
3. Morphine
4. Fentanyl patches
5. Codeine
6. Tramadol

2.3 million Americans had a substance use disorder involving tranquilizers or sedatives within the past 12 months. Common benzodiazepines include:

1. Alprazolam (Xanax)
2. Diazepam (Valium)
3. Clonazepam (Klonopin)
4. Lorazepam (Ativan)
5. Temazepam (Restoril)

1.7 million Americans suffered from a substance use disorder involving prescription stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin. These medications are commonly prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsy and include:

1. Amphetamine/dextroamphetamine (Adderall)
2. Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta)
3. Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine)

Other sedative medications that are frequently misused include:

1. Barbiturates (phenobarbital, pentobarbital)
2. Sleep medications (zolpidem/Ambien, eszopiclone/Lunesta)
