1) Stop taking anything not prescribed for you.  This includes alcohol and other drugs, over-the-counter medications, and anything prescribed for your spouse or significant other. 

2) Find a doctor familiar with addiction and recovery.  Just because your doctor or dentist has been to medical or dental school, does not mean he or she understands addiction.

3) Work with your doctor to eliminate all unnecessary medications. 

4) Treat whatever still needs treatment, starting with non-chemical treatments and using addictive meds only as a last resort.

5) Take stock and reevaluate the need for prescribed medications.
