Legitimate use of prescription painkillers commonly leads to opiate addiction. If you have chronic pain and develop an opiate addiction, getting into addiction recovery can be even more difficult because you will still have the physical pain that made you need the opiates. Addiction rehabs in Florida will address your chronic pain by helping you find alternative treatments for pain management.
Some pain management methods Florida rehabs will use are:
Massage Therapy
Though massages seem like they only provide momentary relief, they can provide long-term relief because they cause allow the drainage of toxins and stress that is retained in the body.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture consists of pricking fine needles into the surface of the skin to allow a healthy circulation flow throughout the body to heal affected areas.
Yoga and Meditation

Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care consists of manipulating your joints to relieve pain and correct misalignment.
Laser Therapy

If You Absolutely Need Medication
While a combination of alternative methods of pain management may be sufficient for many cases, the relief that they provide may not be sufficient for all cases. The good news is there are many over-the-counter and prescription pain medications that are not narcotics; therefore, they cannot jeopardize your recovery, Prescription strength Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Motrin, etc. can provide adequate pain relief for some people. If you absolutely require narcotic pain medication, you may be able to be put on drugs that are used in medication-assisted management treatment (e.g. methadone, suboxone, visitor, etc.) to give you the pain relief effects of the narcotics while allowing you to function in everyday life. For this you will need to consult with the treatment program and/or your physician.
