Conditions We Treat

Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment Near Scottsdale, AZ

Treatment for addiction to opioid painkillers, benzodiazepines, stimulants and sleep medications, in a small, private residential program with dual diagnosis care.

Many people who struggle with prescription drugs never expected to. It often starts with a real prescription for pain after surgery, for anxiety, for sleep or for ADHD. Over time the dose creeps up, the medication becomes something you need to get through the day, and stopping feels impossible.

At Fountain Hills Recovery, adults receive treatment for prescription drug addiction in our private residence in north Scottsdale. Because so many prescriptions start with a real need, our dual diagnosis team treats the pain, anxiety, sleep problems or attention issues underneath, not only the medication use.

Prescription drugs we treat

  • Opioid painkillers such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine and morphine. Learn more about opioid addiction treatment.
  • Benzodiazepines such as Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan and Valium. Learn more about benzodiazepine addiction treatment.
  • Stimulants such as Adderall, Ritalin and Vyvanse, often prescribed for ADHD.
  • Sleep medications such as zolpidem (Ambien).

Pills bought from a friend, online or on the street are often counterfeit and can contain fentanyl, even when they look exactly like the real thing.

Signs of Prescription Drug Addiction

Prescription drug addiction can be easy to hide, even from yourself. Watch for:

  • Taking more than prescribed, or more often
  • Running out of a prescription early
  • Seeing more than one doctor for the same medication
  • Getting pills from friends, family or online
  • Crushing, snorting or mixing pills with alcohol

FAQ

Prescription Drug Addiction FAQs

Can I get addicted to a medication my doctor prescribed?

Yes. Opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants and some sleep medications can all lead to dependence and addiction, even when they are taken as prescribed at first. Needing more to get the same effect, or feeling unwell without the medication, are signs to talk with a professional.

What if I still need treatment for pain, anxiety or ADHD?

That is common, and it is part of your plan. Our psychiatric team works with you on safer ways to manage the condition behind the prescription, using therapy, non-addictive medication options and holistic care.

Is treatment confidential?

Yes. Your treatment is private and protected by federal privacy law. Our small residential setting and executive program are designed for people who need discretion.

How long does residential treatment last?

Most residential stays last 30 to 60 days, depending on your needs and progress. Many people then step down to our partial hospitalization program or intensive outpatient program at our outpatient center in Fountain Hills, so support continues as you return to daily life.

Does insurance cover this treatment?

Fountain Hills Recovery is an out-of-network provider. We accept most private and employer insurance policies through their out-of-network benefits, along with private pay. We do not accept Medicare, Medicaid or AHCCCS. Our admissions team can verify your insurance for free and explain what your plan covers before you decide anything.
