Doctors prescribe a wide variety of drugs to ease pain. These medications relieve discomfort from serious injuries, disease, and broken bones. However, they can also lead to painkiller addiction if used long-term. It’s possible to develop physical dependence once the body adapts to certain drugs. Although, withdrawal symptoms may occur when use decreases or ends. These drugs only mask the pain. The body could build up a tolerance to painkillers and need higher doses to get the same effects. As a result, a woman attempting to dull pain may begin taking higher doses. Eventually, she cannot make it through the day without the drug. To overcome addiction, she will need support and guidance from addiction treatment services at a women’s addiction treatment center. Fortunately, there are treatment options that keep individual circumstances in mind while you heal.
Knowing the signs of drug abuse and addiction also helps you avoid substance abuse. Lying to medical professionals about needing painkillers, going to multiple doctors, and running out of a prescription too soon are cautionary signs.
A quality treatment facility for women should offer effective, life-changing services. A nurturing staff can help women leave addictive habits behind. Call us at 866.314.3222 to begin your journey today.
