When One Substance Turns Into Many, You Need a Recovery Plan That Sees the Whole Picture

Addiction rarely plays by the rules. It doesn’t always stay confined to one drug or follow a predictable pattern. For many, what starts as an opioid prescription turns into mixing alcohol and benzos for sleep. Or stimulants during the day, and heroin at night to come down.

This is polysubstance abuse — and it’s more common than most people think.

At Freedom Healthcare Services, we specialize in treating individuals who use more than one substance, whether by habit, necessity, or circumstance. Our goal isn’t to treat just one part of the problem — it’s to help you understand the full picture of your addiction, then rebuild from there.

Polysubstance Abuse Treatment

What Is Polysubstance Abuse?

Polysubstance use means relying on two or more substances at the same time or within a short timeframe. It can include any combination of:
Opioids (heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone)
Alcohol
Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin)
Stimulants (cocaine, methamphetamine, Adderall)
Sleep medications or sedatives
Marijuana or other recreational drugs
You may be using to balance effects — taking a stimulant to stay awake, then using alcohol to calm down. Or you may be trying to manage withdrawal from one drug with another. No matter how it started, polysubstance use quickly increases the risk of overdose, dependency, and emotional instability.
