Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment
Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment in Southern California at White Oak Recovery Center
If prescription pills have started running your life like an overenthusiastic playlist on repeat, you’re not the first to hit “skip,” and you won’t be the last to find the pause button. At White Oak Recovery Center in Hollywood, California, we understand how prescription drug dependence can creep in quietly and change everything, including mood, sleep, work, relationships, and mental health. Our goal is to meet you where you are: with respect, a steady hand, and practical treatment that fits your life.
What Is Prescription Drug Addiction?
Prescription drug addiction happens when medications prescribed to help, such as opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, or certain sedatives, begin to be used in ways that are harmful or beyond the direction of a doctor. Addiction isn’t a moral failing; it’s a health condition that affects the brain and behavior. People can develop strong cravings, tolerance (needing more to get the same effect), and withdrawal symptoms when they stop. At White Oak Recovery Center, we treat the whole person, not just the substance, because addiction and mental health are often closely connected.
What Kind of Treatment Is Recommended for Prescription Drug Addiction?
Treatment depends on the specific medication, how long someone has been using it, co-occurring mental health conditions, and personal circumstances.
Common, evidence-based components include:
- Medically supervised detox, when appropriate.
- Medication-assisted treatment (for certain opioid or benzodiazepine cases under careful medical supervision).
- Individual and group therapy.
- Cognitive-behavioral approaches to change patterns of thinking and behavior.
- Family therapy.
- Relapse prevention planning.
- Support for the practical parts of recovery, including housing, employment, and community resources.
Choosing the right mix is a collaborative decision between you, clinical staff, and our admissions team.
Our Approach at White Oak Recovery Center
As a compassionate prescription drug addiction treatment center, White Oak Recovery Center takes a person-centered approach. We combine medical care, psychotherapy, and life-skill support so people leave stronger and better equipped. Our licensed clinicians screen for co-occurring disorders and tailor care to address anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other mental health issue that may be driving or sustaining the addiction. We strive to make treatment clear, jargon-free, and respectful, because recovery works best when people feel understood.

- Individual therapy (skill building, trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing).
- Group therapy and peer support to rebuild connections and reduce isolation.
