Prescription drug addiction can develop from legitimate medical use or recreational misuse. Dependence may form quietly as tolerance increases and withdrawal symptoms appear. At Sacred Journey, our addiction recovery programs help men receive comprehensive treatment that addresses both the physical dependence and the emotional roots of addiction. Our experiential therapy program combines evidence-based clinical care with outdoor challenges that strengthen body, mind, and connection to others.
Men may misuse prescription drugs to manage pain, anxiety, or focus, but dependence can lead to serious health and emotional problems. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) defines prescription drug addiction as a compulsive need to use medications such as painkillers, stimulants, or sedatives despite harmful consequences.
Commonly misused drugs include opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants. Many drugs are commonly referred to as Scripts, Rx, Pharmies / Pharmz, Meds, Pills, Tabs, Caps, Zanies, Downers, Uppers, Smarties, Pain pills, Study drugs, Designer drugs ,Candy, or a Rainbow pack / Skittles. They impact mood, concentration, and physical health. Without proper treatment, men may experience depression, fatigue, or anxiety when they stop using. Early professional intervention greatly improves recovery outcomes.
At Sacred Journey Recovery, men experience structured care that combines evidence-based therapies with experiential and spiritual practices. Each day focuses on healing, growth, and accountability.
