Care Star Recovery & Wellness provides outpatient support for adults navigating prescription medication addiction, including painkillers and sedatives. Our team develops a tailored plan that integrates counseling, psychiatric support, and consistent clinical follow-through to help you stabilize and rebuild, without residential placement.
Prescription drug use disorder occurs when someone continues using a prescribed drug in ways that disrupt health, relationships, or responsibilities. This may include taking higher doses, using pills more often, or relying on them to cope. Treatment often integrates therapy and psychiatric support into a tailored plan for maintaining stability and preventing relapse.
Prescription pill addiction can affect the body and mind at the same time. Symptoms may vary by medication type (opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants), dose, and duration of use, but many people experience patterns that interfere with daily functioning. A thorough assessment helps align therapy, psychiatric care, and ongoing support.
Care Star Recovery & Wellness helps adults address prescription medication addiction through coordinated outpatient care. We focus on practical stabilization, symptom reduction, and long-term planning, combining a range of proven therapeutic approaches to support recovery and overall functioning as you progress through levels of care.
Recovery can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to figure it out on your own. Our admissions team offers confidential support to help you understand outpatient options, confirm insurance, and plan your next steps. Call today to schedule an assessment.

Mixing substances can increase medical and mental health risks and may change what “safe” treatment looks like. It is important to be honest during assessment so the team can evaluate safety and recommend the appropriate outpatient level of care. At Care Star, we have experience treating multiple substance use disorders simultaneously, providing integrated support for poly-substance use to help you safely manage all aspects of recovery.

The goal is a coordinated plan that improves overall well-being without relying on misuse.
Many outpatient programs use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT-informed skills, and trauma-informed care. Treatment often includes individual sessions, group therapy, and education on cravings, triggers, and relapse prevention. The specific mix depends on your clinical presentation and goals.
In many cases, yes, but it depends on the specific medication, your medical history, and safety considerations.
