I know alot of parents at my daughters rehab had problems with ANY meds..like Lexapro, Prozac, Etc. that are not EVER used to get high. I think depression can be an underlying factor in addiction.. I myself am on Lexapro and it helps immensely, is not addictive, and the Dr.s told me was the way to go. Anti anxiety meds like Ativan and Xanax ARE addictive and can be used to get high. Obviously I am not a Dr. and cannot offer medical advice , but check out the specific meds would be my advice. I wish you you all good luck..
