Our Prescription Drug Rehab Clinic
Prescription drugs are often not considered to be as dangerous as illicit drugs bought off the street, but they can be just as harmful even though abuse tends to start with a legitimate prescription. Some of the most commonly-used prescriptions drugs include concerta, benzodiazepines, Ritalin, morphine and Adderall.
Regardless of what prescription drug you’re using or how you started abusing it, it’s important to get treatment as soon as possible. Primrose Lodge is a CQC-registered full-service facility that offers prescription drug dependency treatment. Our experienced staff offer around-the-clock care and holistic therapy to ensure you have the best chance of recovery.

Counselling
Counselling or psychotherapy is an essential component of addiction treatment. Addiction to prescription drugs, or to any other kind of drug for that matter, is deeply rooted in the brain. Being a mental disease, addiction can only be effectively treated by addressing the psychological roots of prescription drug addiction.
There are two primary counselling approaches which we have adopted at Primrose Lodge; individual or one-to-one therapy counselling, and group therapy. Individual therapy involves counselling sessions with just you and your counsellor, while group therapy includes you, the therapist and others who are trying to overcome addiction as well.
Medical Detoxification
The first step before rehab begins is a prescription drug medical detox. Detox is a process your body undertakes to cleanse itself of drug toxins. In the case of prescription drug dependency or addiction. During the medical detox process, patients are prescribed an approved medication to manage their symptoms of alcohol/drug withdrawal.
The process is tailored to the individual to negate the effects of fitting, vomiting, tremors etc… until the client is substance-free. The treatment is clinically proven to be the safest way to detox, taking between 7-14 days to complete, with 24/7 care and support, provided throughout.
Detox Timeline
Generally, the onset of withdrawal tends to begin within the first 24 hours of your last dose and the symptoms may remain for several days. Usually, the first few days of detox will be accompanied by the worst of the withdrawal symptoms. After this phase of withdrawal, the symptoms can be expected to peak before beginning to decline and finally dissipate after 7-10 days. The vast majority of drugs are detoxed within 14 days.
Rehabilitation
Addiction is a disease of the mind and must be treated as such. Treatment begins with a medical detox because you need to rid your body of the drug toxins, so you can focus on therapeutic rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation is aimed at unearthing the underlying cause of your addiction and addressing the problem accordingly. At Primrose Lodge, we offer different rehab programmes for prescription drug addiction, but our most comprehensive and intensive is our 28-day programme. With our holistic therapies and treatments, you can guarantee you will be treated physically, as well as mentally and spiritually.

16-18 Treatment
Adolescents may start abusing prescription drugs if they are given a prescription and even if they aren’t, they may use a parent’s prescription or even obtain the drugs illegally. Whatever they do to get the drugs, don’t delay getting help once you notice that there might be a problem.
Our sister centre in Banbury, Oxfordshire, specialises in prescription drug addiction treatment for teenagers between the ages of 16 and 18. If you have an adolescent within that age bracket whose abusing prescription drug, Banbury Lodge would be ideal.
