Prescription Medication Abuse Treatment
Many people don’t realize that most prescription painkillers are opiate-based. Opiates are “time release” drugs that are generally prescribed for pain. Opiates include prescription medication such as Vicodin, Hydrocodone, OxyContin, Codeine, Fentanyl, Methadone, Morphine and the opiate street equal, Heroin.
Opiates reduce pain and anxiety while promoting a sense of relaxation and well-being. Taking more than prescribed can cause dizziness, nausea, confusion and breathing troubles. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe. At Synergy, we offer the most natural and comfortable Prescription Medication Treatment Program available using the cutting-edge amino acid therapy of NeuroTransmitter Restoration (NTR).
