What we do
Personalised Prescription Medication Treatment
The Bay’s personalised treatment programs for Prescription Medication includes a medicated detox where necessary and slow reduction from your prescription medication supervised by our medical and therapeutic teams. The Bay medical team have a comprehensive understanding of prescription medication dependence and the dangers associated with reducing and eventually stopping medications.
Prescription medication dependence can manifest in many forms. One of the most common types of dependence involves the overuse of pain medications, sleeping medications and benzodiazepines such as Valium. In fact, prescription medication dependence is even more prevalent than dependence on illicit substances such as heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine.
There are many other forms of prescription dependence, such as the misuse of pharmaceutical stimulants prescribed for ADHD, or the compulsive abuse of sedatives used to treat anxiety. Pain medications, especially opioids, and other prescription drugs are extremely addictive with high rates of dependence, even for those who have never thought of themselves as having an ‘addictive nature’.
Unfortunately, prescription drug abuse can create physical, emotional, psychological, and social problems that impact people’s lives in many ways.
