In many situations, painkillers can act as life savers. Whether it’s post-surgery pain or chronic backache, taking painkillers to relieve the pain can vastly improve one’s quality of life. However, several prescription painkiller 
pills carry the potential for misuse and can lead to addiction. Enrolling in a painkiller rehab program can help you recover from addiction and find healthy ways to cope with pain. If you or a loved one is seeking a painkiller addiction rehab, reach out to Serenity Grove for effective and personalized substance abuse treatment.
Painkillers, especially those which fall into the category of opioids or opiates, are particularly dangerous, even when they are prescribed by a doctor. To know more about our painkiller addiction treatment, call us at 844.904.3485.
Why We Offer a Painkiller Rehab Program
While painkillers often provide instant relief and help an individual effectively manage symptoms of chronic pain, they often have far-reaching, long-term side effects. At Serenity Grove, we have a dedicated painkiller rehab program for the following reasons:
- After a point, the body may develop a tolerance to a painkiller, prompting the person to consume it more regularly or at a higher dosage, leading to health complications.
- Once an individual is addicted to painkillers, they may turn to street drugs to experience euphoria or dull the sensations of chronic pain.
- Prolonged use of painkillers can lower one’s pain sensitivity in the long run, thereby making their chronic pain worse. For instance, it can lead to a condition called opioid-induced hyperalgesia, where a person taking pills for back pain may gradually experience pain in other parts of the body, leading to an increased dependence on opioid medication.
- Painkiller addiction increases the risk of death by overdose.
- It can also result in co-occurring mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, mood swings, and insomnia.
Thus, a painkiller addiction treatment program will empower you to fight your chemical dependence on painkillers and develop healthy pain management strategies.
