Due to the recent death of infamous pop icon Michael Jackson, the issues of prescription drug abuse and addiction have garnered considerable media attention. As a leading alcohol and drug addiction treatment program, Enterhealth would like to share a few thoughts about this very treatable chronic brainillness.   

Abuse of prescription medications has grown significantly in recent years as a result of greater availability on the Internet, an overall increase in use by physicians, and higher rates of sharing among friends and relatives. As noted in Healing TheAddicted Brain by Dr. Harold Urschel, Enterhealth's Chief Medical Strategist, there are currently over 13 million people in the United States misusing, abusing or addicted to prescription medications. This number is more than all other drug abuse combined, e.g. cocaine, methamphetamine, hallucinogens and inhalants (excluding marijuana).  

When treated comprehensively, addiction to prescription medications has a very high chance of success. Enterhealth Life Recovery Center utilizes an in­depth, personalized approach to treat not only prescription drug addiction, but also alcohol and other drug addictions ­ all by utilizing a combination of highly effective anti­addiction medications as well as proven therapeutic approaches and innovative support tools. 

Although the media needed the death of a legend to place prescription drug addiction in the spotlight, Enterhealth remains steadfast in its mission to deliver a better way for patients andtheir families to recover their lives from these potentially life­threatening illnesses. 

Enterhealth and its complete addiction treatment program can help release the deadly grip of prescription drug abuse and addiction. Call 800.388.4601, or visit enterhealth.com to recover your life or the life of a loved one.
