I read today that 22 million Americans are dependant on or addicted to prescription drugs. That’s the same number of people who are addicted to alcohol and illegal drugs, and brings the total number of people in the U.S. who need drug detox to 44 million. If they’re addicted and not just dependent, they’ll also need drug rehab.

What does this tell you? If nothing else, it should assure you that you’re not alone.

Many people with a prescription drug addiction or dependency problem are upstanding American citizens who became dependant on prescriptions drugs after being given them by their doctor – it never occurred to them, or possibly even the busy doctor, that they would become dependant or addicted.

Unfortunately, they often find it hard to admit they have a problem. After all, they’re just taking the drugs a doctor prescribed. They’re not ‘druggies.”

Nevertheless, 22 million more Americans are hooked.

The good news is: help is available through medical drug detox. Here’s what one attorney had to say about Novus Medical Detox Center:

“I am very happy I came here for my detox. I have been here at Novus for six nights now. I am on the backside of my recovery. I realized I needed more care than just detox to ensure I will not relapse. I legitimately want to stop using prescription drugs now. When I first got here, it was so uncomfortable that in all honesty I probably would have relapsed. Now, I am optimistic that I can do it.”

If you think you or someone you care about might have a prescription drug problem, contact Novus about a medical drug detox program today. They’ll tell you if you do have a problem and, if so, will help you figure out what to do about it.
