Prescription drug addiction treatment in Indiana | Cardinal Recovery

Understanding prescription drug addiction

Licensed prescription drug addiction treatment in South Bend, Indiana. Medically supervised detox, PHP, and dual diagnosis care. Indiana Medicaid accepted. Free 15-minute assessment, no obligation.

Prescription drug addiction is one of the most misunderstood forms of substance use disorder, partly because it often begins with a legitimate prescription. The medications most commonly associated with dependence include opioid pain relievers, benzodiazepines prescribed for anxiety or sleep, and stimulants prescribed for ADHD. Over time, tolerance develops, the prescribed dose stops working as it did, and a pattern of use emerges that is no longer about the original medical condition.

Signs of prescription drug addiction

Prescription drug dependence can be harder to recognize because the substance is legally obtained. Signs include:
Taking a prescription medication more frequently or in higher doses than prescribed
Continuing to use the medication after the original condition has resolved
Seeking prescriptions from multiple providers
Feeling unable to manage without the medication
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when the medication is reduced or stopped
Concealing or minimizing use from family or healthcare providers
Continued use despite negative effects on daily functioning
Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop

These signs do not all need to be present. If several are recognizable in yourself or someone you love, a free 15-minute assessment is the right next step. No obligation required.

Medically supervised detox

How Cardinal Recovery Treats Addiction

For substances that require safe medical management during withdrawal, Cardinal Recovery provides clinically supported detox. Our team monitors withdrawal around the clock and uses evidence-based protocols to keep you as safe and comfortable as possible through the process. [Link: /detox/]

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our PHP is structured day treatment with intensive therapy and medical oversight. It provides a high level of clinical support while allowing you to return home in the evenings. PHP is typically the step after detox for people who need intensive care without 24-hour residential placement. [Link: /treatment/partial-hospitalization-rehab-program-indiana/]

Structured Outpatient Program

Dual diagnosis treatment

Many people struggling with addiction are also living with a co-occurring mental health condition such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, or borderline personality disorder. Cardinal Recovery treats both in the same plan. Addressing only the addiction while leaving the mental health condition untreated is one of the most common reasons people struggle to stay well.

Aftercare and recovery support

Treatment does not end when a program ends. Cardinal Recovery provides aftercare planning and ongoing recovery support to help you maintain the progress made during treatment and build the routines and relationships that support long-term sobriety. [Link: /treatment/aftercare/]

Common questions

Clear answers,
without pressure.

What prescription drugs are most commonly misused?

The most commonly misused prescription medications include opioid pain relievers such as oxycodone and hydrocodone, benzodiazepines such as Xanax and Valium, and stimulants such as Adderall. Cardinal Recovery provides treatment for dependence on all of these medication classes.

Treatment begins with a free 15-minute assessment to establish the substances involved, the level of dependence, and any co-occurring mental health conditions. For opioid and benzodiazepine dependence, medically supervised detox is typically the first step. Treatment continues through PHP or another appropriate level of care with evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, and group therapy. Dual diagnosis care is available for co-occurring conditions. [Link: /treatment/]

No. Many people who develop prescription drug dependence did so while following their physician’s guidance. Dependence can develop even when a medication is used exactly as prescribed. Addiction is a medical condition, not a character flaw, and it deserves medical treatment regardless of how it developed.

Yes. Indiana Medicaid is accepted at Cardinal Recovery. Call for a free 15-minute assessment and we will verify your coverage. [Link: /verify-insurance/]
