Our latest drug and alcohol detox blogs

When we think about drug addiction, substances like opioids, alcohol, or cocaine often come to mind. However, over-the-counter (OTC) medications, while easily accessible, are increasingly misused. These drugs, which can be purchased without a prescription, pose significant risks when taken in higher-than-recommended doses or for purposes other than intended. At Briarwood Detox Center, we’ve seen firsthand the detrimental effects of OTC drug abuse on individuals and families in Austin and beyond. Our drug and alcohol detox services are designed to help those struggling with addiction, including dependency on OTC medications.
