Painkiller Addiction Treatment in Massachusetts

Painkiller addiction treatment in Massachusetts is the solution for people who have become dependent on prescription narcotic pain medication.

At Swift River, we help people overcome their dependence on these medications once and for all at our painkiller addiction rehab in Massachusetts. We work with each patient to help them learn healthy coping skills for maintaining their recovery as well as treating any underlying co-occurring mental health disorders like depression.

What Is Painkiller Addiction?

Even if you follow your prescription to the letter, what happens to many people is that pain becomes too great or they become tired or depressed. People then sometimes take more of their medication than they are supposed to and become addicted. Even people who follow their doctor’s orders perfectly may become dependent and need some extra help to get off of painkillers. Either way, Swift River can help! 

Painkiller addiction usually starts when a patient uses up their pain meds before the prescription can be refilled. Sometimes they end up going to another source for pills or buy drugs off the street to keep from getting sick. It can be a terrible situation, but we have an answer for painkiller addiction at Swift River. While opioids are very effective in treating pain, they also create euphoria which makes painkiller addiction a serious risk. This is especially true for people who have depression or other mental health issues. 

Patients who start abusing painkillers are more likely to move to stronger drugs, including illicit street drugs like heroin or fake illegal pills usually made from illegally manufactured fentanyl. Both can be very, very dangerous.  At Swift River, we help people wrestling with painkiller addiction every day. Our painkiller addiction rehab center in Massachusetts can help with all types of prescription drug addiction and other opioids like heroin, oxycodone, fentanyl, and others.

About Our Painkiller Addiction Program in Massachusetts

Addiction is a mental health disorder and each person experiences it a little differently. Your treatment plan will be specific to your unique symptoms and seriousness of the addiction. When you enter our addiction treatment program in Massachusetts, we begin by performing a thorough clinical assessment. This way we make certain we understand what your symptoms are and exactly where you need help. We determine what type of treatment you need to break your addiction to painkillers while keeping you comfortable and safe. Patient’s with more serious painkiller addiction usually begin with a medical detox and inpatient treatment where they will spend their days in various types of therapy that can include:

  • Behavioral therapy – Patients will work with therapists in private and group sessions to help them work through the feelings and behaviors that led to the addiction. 
  • Family support and therapy – Having family involvement in addiction therapy is very beneficial in helping patients stay on course. Therapy helps educate family members on addiction and can help mend broken relationships.
  • Holistic activities – Research has shown significant improvement in self-esteem and better communication skills when programs use outdoor activity and animals as part of their therapy.
  • Medication-assisted treatment – Medications like Suboxone (buprenorphine) control withdrawal symptoms and cravings so you can focus on their addiction recovery.
