Whether you are getting involved with an outpatient prescription drug treatment program or looking to a complex inpatient procedure to detox your body and mind from a cocktail of opioids, here are some logistical tips. First, inform friends, neighbors, and family members you trust about your upcoming detox, and potentially assign one point person in your life to manage affairs.

If you don't have the finances or friends around to help with these matters, you can contact your addiction treatment center or look to community organizations to help you get ready. Don't underestimate the long-term nature of prescription drug treatment, as well. You may need to secure the services of a professional counselor or detox coach to ensure that the lessons of this round of abuse stick and that you can manage future crises in your life without resorting back to painkillers.

You might also take a look at your insurance program. Not all HMOs or PPOs will pay for prescription drug treatment programs. Talk to your treatment center of choice -- financing may be available. Moreover, some insurance companies may be flexible in terms of which clinics they cover.
