Prescription opioid addiction is a form of opioid use disorder that develops through the misuse of prescribed pain medications such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, or similar substances. For many individuals, opioid use begins legitimately for pain management and gradually escalates as tolerance, dependence, and loss of control develop.
At Resilience Recovery Center, we recognize that prescription opioid addiction often carries a unique layer of shame and confusion. Many individuals do not identify as having an addiction because their use began under medical supervision. Our approach is grounded in education, compassion, and evidence-based care that removes stigma and focuses on recovery.
Prescription opioid addiction can quietly erode stability over time. Because these medications are often perceived as safer than illicit drugs, individuals may continue using them longer despite increasing consequences.
Common impacts include escalating dosage or frequency of use, cravings and withdrawal symptoms between doses, declining work performance or absenteeism, increased anxiety, depression, or emotional numbing, difficulty managing pain without medication, strained relationships and secrecy around use, and fear of losing access to prescriptions or facing judgment if help is sought.
Working professionals and caregivers are particularly vulnerable to delaying treatment due to fear of career impact or stigma.
Resilience Recovery Center was created to address gaps in care for individuals struggling with prescription opioid dependence. Too often, people are either abruptly cut off from medication without support or treated with approaches that ignore the underlying pain, stress, and emotional factors involved.
Our philosophy emphasizes dignity, accountability, and individualized care. We meet clients where they are and help them move forward safely and responsibly, without judgment or unrealistic expectations.
Recovery is approached as a process of stabilization, skill-building, and rebuilding confidence and independence.
Treatment for prescription opioid addiction is based on clinical assessment, recovery history, and current stability. Services may include Outpatient or Intensive Outpatient programming.
Outpatient care supports individuals who are medically stable and able to continue daily responsibilities while engaging in structured therapy and accountability. Intensive Outpatient care provides increased clinical structure for those experiencing higher relapse risk, emotional instability, or difficulty maintaining consistency with less intensive care.
Clients may step up or down between levels of care as recovery progresses.
Medication Assisted Treatment may be appropriate for some individuals recovering from prescription opioid addiction. Resilience Recovery Center provides MAT coordination and compliance support in collaboration with prescribing medical providers.
Our approach focuses on education, accountability, and safety. Medication is integrated into therapy and recovery planning rather than used as a standalone solution. MAT coordination helps support stabilization, reduce withdrawal-related relapse risk, and improve engagement in treatment while reinforcing responsibility.
Many individuals struggling with prescription opioid addiction also experience chronic pain, anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, or emotional dysregulation. These challenges often contribute to continued use if left unaddressed.
Our integrated treatment model addresses mental health and substance use together through individual therapy, group therapy, psychoeducation, neuroscience-informed strategies, and holistic wellness services. When appropriate, care planning considers pain management education and non-substance coping strategies.
Our prescription opioid addiction treatment programs are designed for adults who are motivated, or becoming motivated, to change. Many clients are working professionals, individuals with chronic pain histories, or people who have struggled to taper or stop medication use on their own.
Our outpatient-based model allows individuals to receive meaningful treatment while remaining engaged in work, family, and community whenever clinically appropriate.
Sustainable recovery from prescription opioid addiction requires addressing real-life challenges that often accompany dependence.
Clients may receive case management and care coordination to navigate healthcare systems, benefits, or legal concerns, job placement and vocational support to rebuild structure and confidence, connections to recovery-oriented housing when living environments increase relapse risk, holistic wellness services such as life coaching and nutrition guidance, and aftercare planning focused on long-term stability.
These supports are intentionally integrated to reduce relapse risk and support independence.
