Why Detox?
Why Detox from Painkillers at The Camp Recovery Center
Prescription painkillers can be a life-saving option for individuals whose everyday functioning has been interrupted by pain caused by medical conditions, injury, or surgery. These medications, most of which are classified as opioids, can only be prescribed by a medical professional, and tend to come with a warning that they can be habit-forming if usage directions are not followed. When an individual does not follow his or her doctor’s guidelines for consuming a prescription painkiller, a number of consequences can start to unfold.
In addition, there are individuals who consume prescription painkillers for non-medical purposes. Commonly done so to achieve a high that includes feelings of relaxation, euphoria, and detachment from one’s surroundings, abusing prescription painkillers can bring on similar challenges as those experienced by those who take these substances outside of the prescribed directions. When the misuse of painkillers starts to become ongoing without there being a medical need for it, an addiction is likely to ensue, and rehab may be warranted in order to effectively end this type of substance abuse.
When rehab is needed to end pain pill abuse, many assume that they won’t experience the challenges commonly associated with addiction. Therefore, when an individual tries to stop using these medications after having abused them for a period of time, the withdrawal symptoms that can develop can be surprising.
Since prescription painkillers can cause an individual to develop a tolerance to them, which would then require him or her to consume more of the substance of choice in order to obtain the desired effects, withdrawal is likely to occur in the event that the misuse ends. A process that can include restlessness, muscle and bone pain, powerful cravings, and irritability, prescription painkillers can trigger the onset of a very uncomfortable and painful withdrawal that can make obtaining sobriety all but impossible to do on one’s own.
However, by enrolling in an appropriate rehab center for painkiller addiction treatment, an individual can receive detoxification to safely detox from the substances they are addicted to. Ultimately, an individual can experience relief from withdrawal and start to develop the skills needed to live a life of recovery.

Long-Term Benefits
Long-Term Benefits of Painkiller Detox
If a person does not obtain treatment to defeat a prescription painkiller addiction, that individual is likely to continue the abuse of these substances. Additionally, if an individual obtains care but does not get detox, there is a greater risk for relapse. For these reasons and more, it is imperative that an individual who is addicted to prescription painkillers obtain detox, in addition to other rehab services, to end this possibly deadly form of chemical dependency.
Not only will an individual’s symptoms of withdrawal be reduced, but an individual will be able to put all of his or her attention on getting better. Since a prescription painkiller addiction can cause an individual to establish priorities that surround substance abuse, detox can help an individual establish the clarity of mind needed to shift his or her priorities back to recovery and the skills required to abstain from the use of these medications once and for all.
