The National Institutes of Health reports three classes of prescription drugs that are most often misused:
- Opioids or pain relievers—Hydrocodone (e.g., Vicodin), oxycodone (e.g., OxyContin, Percocet), morphine (e.g., Kadian, Avinza), codeine and related drugs
- Central nervous system depressants—Benzodiazepines or benzos (e.g., Xanax, Valium, Ativan, Klonopin), used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders
- Stimulants—Adderall or Ritalin, used to treat attention deficit disorder and narcolepsy (a sleep disorder)
Prescription drug addiction is a chronic disease that is treatable and can be held in remission through lifestyle changes.

- Therapeutic group sessions on topics ranging from family dynamics to grief and loss to relapse prevention
