Prescription Drug Rehab in San Diego
Specialized treatment for prescription opioid, benzodiazepine, stimulant, and sleep-medication dependence — with medically supervised tapering and non-addictive alternatives for pain or anxiety.

Medical Tapering
Physician-supervised tapering for opioids and benzodiazepines — the safest withdrawal path.
Non-Addictive Alternatives
Non-opioid pain management and CBT for anxiety so you have a safe long-term plan.
Dual Diagnosis
Treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma alongside addiction in one program.

What we use to help you recover
Common questions about prescription drug rehab
Can I get addicted to medication a doctor prescribed?
Yes. Many prescription medications, including opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants, carry a significant risk of dependence even when taken as directed. Addiction can develop without misuse.
Is benzodiazepine withdrawal dangerous?
Yes. Benzodiazepine withdrawal can cause seizures and is potentially life-threatening. Medical detox with a structured tapering protocol is the safest approach.
What if I still need pain or anxiety treatment?
Our medical and clinical teams work with each client to find non-addictive alternatives, including non-opioid pain management, CBT for anxiety, and other evidence-based approaches.
How long is prescription drug rehab?
Typical timelines range from 30 to 90 days of residential or PHP/IOP care, followed by 6 to 12 months of outpatient support. Length is individualized based on clinical need.
