Freedom from Prescription Drug Addiction
You Are Not Alone
An estimated 16 million Americans misuse prescription drugs each year. Prescription drug addiction often hides behind legitimacy — it's medication prescribed by a doctor, after all — making it one of the most insidious forms of dependency.
Understanding Prescription Drugs Addiction
Prescription drug addiction involves the misuse of medications including opioid painkillers, benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium), stimulants (Adderall, Ritalin), and sleep aids. What begins as following a doctor's orders can gradually shift into dependency.
Because these drugs are prescribed by medical professionals, many people don't recognize when use has crossed the line into addiction. The stigma around admitting dependency on 'legitimate' medication keeps many suffering in silence.
What the Bible Says
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
