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.

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.
