Understanding Prescription Medication Addiction
Prescription drug addiction happens when prescribed medications—such as opioids, anti-anxiety tablets, or stimulants—are used in ways not intended by a doctor. This might include taking higher doses, using them longer than prescribed, or seeking their effects for emotional relief.

We didn’t know how to talk without fighting. Therapy gave us the space to listen.
— Mark & Elena, couples therapy clients at Eleos Counselling
“When we first came to Eleos, we were exhausted. Every conversation turned into an argument. We kept circling the same issues — parenting, trust, intimacy — but never really hearing each other.
Our therapist helped us slow everything down. It wasn’t about who was right. It was about what we each needed underneath the frustration.
We started to feel seen again. There were tears, yes. But also laughter. Hope. For the first time in a long time, we began to feel like a team again.
It hasn’t been easy. But now we know how to reach for each other instead of pulling away.”

What may begin as a legitimate medical treatment can quickly spiral into dependency. You may notice increasing tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, or a growing sense of emotional distress. It’s not about willpower—addiction is a complex, multi-layered condition that often needs professional therapeutic support.
