Treatment for Over-the-Counter Drug Addiction in New Hampshire
Heartfelt Recovery Centers treats over-the-counter medication addiction in New Hampshire, offering individualized programs for patients struggling with substances like DXM cough medicine, loperamide, and antihistamines. Our Hudson, NH location serves the greater Hillsborough County area with in-person and telehealth options. All care is Joint Commission accredited and LegitScript certified.
Over-the-counter medications are legal and widely available, which makes their abuse easier to hide and harder to recognize. When use escalates beyond what a label recommends, the consequences can be serious, and professional treatment is the most reliable path to recovery.
DXM and Dextromethorphan Addiction
Dextromethorphan (DXM), found in cough suppressants like NyQuil and Robitussin, produces dissociative and euphoric effects at high doses. DXM addiction treatment at Heartfelt Recovery Centers addresses both the physical dependence and the psychological patterns that drive continued misuse.
Loperamide and Antihistamine Abuse
Loperamide (Imodium), when taken in doses far exceeding label guidelines, acts on opioid receptors and carries serious cardiac risks. Antihistamines such as diphenhydramine are also misused for sedation, our clinical team evaluates each patient’s full substance history to build an appropriate treatment plan.

Our Addiction Treatment Programs
Our OTC Medication Abuse Treatment Process
Every patient at Heartfelt Recovery Centers begins with a structured clinical evaluation before any treatment recommendation is made. That assessment shapes an individualized plan rather than placing patients into a standard program.
Clinical Assessment
Our intake team conducts a thorough assessment covering substance use history, co-occurring mental health conditions, medical needs, and life circumstances. This evaluation determines the appropriate level of care, outpatient, intensive outpatient, or referral for medical detox if clinically indicated.
Individualized Treatment Planning
Based on the assessment, your care team develops a treatment plan that may include individual therapy, group counseling, family support, and medication-assisted treatment where appropriate. Plans are reviewed and adjusted regularly as you progress.
Continued Support Through Recovery
Recovery from OTC medication addiction does not end at discharge. Heartfelt Recovery Centers provides ongoing support planning, including relapse prevention resources, peer connections, and telehealth follow-up, to help patients maintain progress after formal treatment concludes.
