Addiction and Prescription Medications
Sometimes the medications intended to help us can hurt us. Pain medications can be effective for what they are prescribed for. However, the narcotic effects of these drugs can also be very habit forming. Typically, such medications are only intended to be a short term solution for such a problem. With time and exposure the individual may no longer need the drug to treat the pain. They just use them for the high.
The national trend is ever increasing with cases of prescription drug addiction. Overdose/deaths related to these drugs are reaching numbers that are frightening. In some states they are rising to critical levels. Measures are being implemented to help address this at the medical and pharmaceutical levels. However, people addicted to drugs always seem to find a way to get their drugs.
