Prescription Drugs

When a doctor writes a prescription, it can feel that such medication is legitimised in some way and cannot cause harm, unlike illegal drugs. But nothing could be further from the truth. Prescription drug addiction is a growing problem and can cause great harm to individuals, families and society. It is a progressive condition that gets worse over time. But there is hope. So if you think you or a loved one might have developed such an addiction, with the correct intervention and expert care, a full recovery can be achieved and a happier life lived.

Prescription drug addiction may develop from a certain drug being legitimately prescribed for an ailment, such as pain relief. But an individual can become hooked on the feeling that drug gives and the problem develops from there.

The kind of substances we are talking about here are those such as Amphetamine, Buprenorphine, Gabapentin, Lorazepam, Opioids, Valium, Zolpidem, Benzodiazepines, Carfentanil, Solpadeine and Xanax.

An estimated 29 million people suffer from drug use disorders, according to the United Nations. The consequences of prescription drug dependence can be catastrophic and include depression, lung disease, strokes, brain damage, heart conditions and death. The effects obviously vary from drug to drug but it’s not a good place to be.

The positive news is that many are able to face up to their problem and find the right professional help, transforming their lives.

Could this be you or a loved one? If so, then please do not despair or lose hope, our experts can guide you onto the path of recovery and safeguard you.

At The Kusnacht Practice we fully understand and have great empathy with those suffering from prescription drug dependency. One philosophy always remains true: we never judge and you can be sure that we always operate with absolute confidentiality and privacy. Our mission is to free you from the shackles of addiction and restore your mind, body and energy.

You are a unique individual - and we will treat you as such. Therefore, all of our recovery plans are evidence-based, bespoke and individualised just for you, nobody else.

The majority of people take drugs to mask some underlying mental issue and it is important to identify the root causes and modify behaviour. Talking therapies are vital tools in our team’s armoury and we are experts at dealing with withdrawal symptoms, which are often a client’s greatest fear.

No detail is ever overlooked - an absolute, holistic approach which can transform your life - and that of your loved ones. We treat the entire person - mind, body and energy and we do this through approaches like psychotherapy, Biomolecular Restoration (BIO-R®), complementary therapies, and spiritual counselling.

Make no mistake, your health and future is front and centre of everything we do here at The Kusnacht Practice, where we have built a secure, loving environment, with total discretion. This combination will help foster and stimulate your recovery in luxurious surroundings and restore you to your best self.
