Top Rated Prescription Drug Rehab in Sacramento

Top Rated Prescription Drug Rehab in Sacramento

For decades, recovery centers have worked with individuals who have abused or become addicted to prescription medications. This particular type of drug abuse has become an even bigger issue in the United States due to the ongoing opioid epidemic. While depressants, which affect a person’s Central Nervous System (CNS), and stimulants are still widely abused, opioid abuse and opioid addiction have taken center stage regarding RX-related Substance Use Disorders. 

At Novo Detox, we work with clients with all types of alcohol abuse and drug abuse problems. We have created specific treatment programs for many different categories and specific substances so that we can more easily address each of our client’s needs. In addition, we also develop individualized treatment plans within each recovery program for our patients. We do this because we know that each person who struggles with substance abuse has impacted their life differently and their road to recovery will be unique to them. 

If you or one of your loved ones is struggling with substance abuse, alcohol addiction, or drug addiction, please call us today. We offer residential medical detox, inpatient rehab, outpatient treatment, and virtual substance abuse care. We also have specialized programs for people with specific needs, like those with a dual diagnosis. 

At Novo Detox, we have worked hard to become a top-rated prescription drug rehab center. No one ever sets out to need drug detox or rehabilitation services; however, there is a need, and we want to offer the best services possible. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, an estimated 48 million Americans, age 12 and over, have taken a prescription drug without a prescription for a non-medical reason. This does not mean that 48 million Americans have a fully developed substance use disorder, but the potential is there any time you take an action that would fall into the substance abuse category. 

We have designed specific treatment programs for opioid detox, Benzos detox, and other Rx substances. When someone has gone through several cycles of abuse, where they have used prescription drugs for non-medical purposes, stopped on their own or with the help of a treatment facility program, and begun using the same or other substances again, rehab is not always a straightforward scenario. That is why our medical professionals, rehab therapists and counselors, and support staff work with each of our clients to assess their treatment needs.

What Is RX Rehab Like?

Drug rehab in general can mean many different things depending on the individual. In an overall continuum of care, there can be medical detox, including medication-assisted treatment, residential inpatient programs, outpatient rehab, and aftercare programs. Starting with prescription drug detox, it is highly recommended that people participate in a supervised medical detox program. This can occur in a hospital with a specialized department for this type of care or at a recovery center like Novo Detox, which has dedicated services and treatment plans. There are several reasons why most if not all medical professionals and rehab specialists suggest not trying to go through detox alone and at home. The first is access to drugs and alcohol. In today’s society, even if you clean your home of all types of substances before you stop using and begin detoxing, drugs and alcohol are very easy to acquire. This physical barrier will be your first defense regarding relapse prevention.

Relapse prevention is a recurring theme throughout a person’s rehab, no matter how many phases it may entail. Relapses during detox can occur when a person does not take the proper actions and cannot handle the withdrawal symptoms they are experiencing. These can vary from substance to substance but often include one or more of the following depending on how severe a person’s addiction is and how long they have been using: excessive hunger, fatigue, lethargy, loss of appetite, night sweats, shakiness, clammy skin, craving, feeling cold, sweating, gagging, nausea, vomiting, flatulence, stomach cramps, nasal congestion or runny nose, dilated pupils, watery eyes, agitation, crying, excitability, irritability, restlessness, self-harm, depression, hallucination, paranoia, severe anxiety, disorientation, mental confusion, racing thoughts, feeling detached from self, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, nervousness, insomnia, nightmares, and sleepiness. 

The next possible stage of rehab is residential inpatient treatment or outpatient care. It is very important for someone who has completed the detox process to begin individual therapy or group counseling immediately or as soon as possible. This is because alcohol detox or drug detox completes the process of removing the substance or substances a person has been abusing from their system but physical, mental, and emotional cravings will still be present and can often be very powerful. Many treatment facility programs including Novo do offer counseling during their detox program to help support the mental and emotional toll that quitting using or drinking can have on a person. 

Aftercare programs can be an important part of someone’s addiction recovery no matter what treatment they receive as part of their rehab program. Aftercare can be done through alumni programs that are conducted by individual treatment centers, or people in recovery can join groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. All of these help people with their relapse prevention and continue to show them that many individuals are fighting the same battle to remain clean and sober.

What to Expect During RX Rehab

When you take part in drug detox or drug rehab at Novo, you can expect to find focus on comfort and safety. Our medical professionals, support staff, and rehab specialists are with you every step of the way, no matter what treatment plans you take part in during your time with us. During our detox programs, our patients are supervised 24 hours a day to take care of any minor or major issues they have while experiencing withdrawal symptoms. We have a top-rated treatment facility filled with amenities so that our guests are comfortable and can concentrate solely on their health and progress.

Healthy meals and proper hydration are a big part of medical detox and substance abuse rehab. This is because many people who struggle with abuse and addiction ignore their general health and getting them back on track nutritionally can help immensely with many withdrawal side effects and the changes a person goes through once they have stopped using or drinking. Another aspect of our organization that we pride ourselves on is a quick admissions process. We know that making such a serious change in life can be stressful, and we want it to begin as smoothly as possible. Once we have taken care of the basic administrative items, our clients meet privately with our doctors and nurses to review their medical and psychological histories. At this point, we assess if someone has a cooccurring disorder and if they should take advantage of our dual diagnosis treatment options. Patients who have completed detox can begin their individual and group counseling schedules.

How Long Does RX Rehab in Sacramento?

Overall, RX rehab can take from a few months to over a year, depending on the individual. Medically supervised detox typically takes 10 to 12 days but can vary. Residential inpatient treatment programs are usually 30, 60, or 90 days long. Outpatient drug rehab in Sacramento can last as long as the person needs to continue behavioral therapy to go through their day-to-day life without a high risk of relapse.

Top Abused Prescription Drugs

Sadly, almost any type of drug or substance can and is abused in some way. From excessive use of cold medicines to huffing household products to illicit drugs like heroin and cocaine, rehab centers have to be prepared for it all. Additionally, we are constantly developing new treatment techniques and specialized treatment plans for new drugs that gain popularity or mixtures of drugs that are created. Under the overall umbrella of RX medications, the three most abused categories are opioids, stimulants, and depressants. Here are the drugs that are often taken without being prescribed or used for an unintended purpose in each category:

Opioids

• Fentanyl (Duragesic)
• Hydrocodone (Vicodin)
• Oxycodone (OxyContin)
• Oxymorphone (Darvon)
• Hydromorphone (Dilaudid)
• Meperidine (Demerol)
• Diphenoxylate (Lomotil)
• Morphine Sulfate

Central Nervous System (CNS) Depressants

• Pentobarbital sodium (Nembutal)
• Diazepam (Valium)
• Alprazolam (Xanax)
• Zolpidem Tartrate (Ambien)
• Sertraline (Zoloft)

Stimulants

• Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine)
• Methylphenidate (Ritalin and Concerta)
• Amphetamines (Adderall)

Methadone Detox in Sacramento

Methadone is an opioid that has been used for decades to treat addiction to opioids. It works by binding to the opioid receptors in the brain. Methadone works differently from other opioids, such as heroin, as it contains a second component that blocks the feelings of euphoria which is a draw for opioid addicts. Methadone is also successful in treating opioid addiction because it minimizes withdrawal symptoms.
