Withdrawal symptoms aren’t the same for everyone. They’re influenced by the type of medication abused, such as benzodiazepines or opioids, and your personal health history. But don’t worry, we ensure every client receives individualized medical supervision and a treatment plan.
Common withdrawal symptoms can include:
- Muscle aches, tension, or cramping
- Nausea and vomiting
- Restlessness or trouble sleeping
- Anxiety and irritability
- Depression and mood swings
- Sweating and chills
- Tremors or shaking
Our medical team will help manage these symptoms and keep you as comfortable as possible, making sure you’re supported every step of the way.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Concerns
Taking the first step toward recovery often comes with uncertainty and questions – and that’s completely normal. We’ve compiled answers to the questions we hear most often to help ease your concerns and provide clarity about our program.
Our goal is to ensure you feel informed and confident as you begin this important journey.
What prescription drugs are most commonly abused?
Prescription drugs most commonly abused include opioid painkillers, anti-anxiety medications and sedatives like benzodiazepines, and stimulant medications prescribed for ADHD. These drugs can lead to dependence when not taken exactly as prescribed. Sometimes misuse occurs unintentionally, for example, when someone takes a higher dose than directed or uses medication that was prescribed to another person.
How can I recognize if I am developing a tolerance to my medication?
Tolerance occurs when your usual dose no longer provides the same effect, prompting a need for higher amounts. If you notice that your medication is not working as well as it used to, or you are tempted to increase your dose, talk to your doctor. Adjusting treatment early can help prevent misuse.
Are there non-addictive alternatives to abused prescription drugs?
Yes, for many conditions, non-addictive medications and non-pharmacological treatments are available. Physical therapy, counseling, and certain non-opioid pain relievers can serve as effective alternatives to commonly abused prescription drugs. It’s important to consult your healthcare provider to determine the safest options for your specific needs. At Frontline Recovery, we also provide an aftercare plan to help you continue your life substance-free after treatment.
Is it safe to stop taking prescription drugs suddenly?
Stopping some prescription drugs suddenly, such as opioids, benzodiazepines, or antidepressants, can cause withdrawal symptoms or other health complications. It’s important to consult your healthcare provider or contact Frontline Recovery before making any changes to your medication regimen. For your safety, a supervised tapering plan is usually recommended and can be provided through our program.
Why do people become addicted to prescription drugs?
Prescription drugs can alter brain chemistry, especially when used in ways not intended by a doctor. Some people become addicted due to the pleasurable effects, while others may be trying to manage pain, stress, or sleep issues. Genetic, psychological, and environmental factors all contribute to the risk of addiction.
What is the first step to starting detox at Frontline Recovery?
The first step is a confidential assessment with our clinical team. During this meeting, we review your medical history, current prescriptions, and treatment goals. This helps us design a personalized detox plan that prioritizes your safety and comfort.
