Addicted to Pain Killers

A Case Study

pain killer addiction

The story is repeated time and again.

You suffer an injury in a car accident, or you have a simple slip and fall, or you lift a box awkwardly at work, or you strain a muscle while playing golf, tennis or working out at the gym. Or perhaps, you're recovering from surgery, cancer treatment or severe arthritis.

In any case, your physician is likely to prescribe a painkiller to help you manage the discomfort. Yet weeks or months later - long after the initial injury may have healed - you're still taking Vicodin, OxyContin or other opioid painkillers. In fact, with pain and discomfort becoming more frequent, you're taking an alarmingly higher dosage than you were in the beginning. The very drug that was supposed to help you is now hurting you.

Drug experts do agree that something has to be done to deal with the growing number of opiate addicts around the country. There is, after all, a serious health risk to remaining a drug addict.

Some of the more common opiate based drugs include:

  • Codeine
  • Darvocet
  • Dilaudid
  • Heroin
  • LAAM
  • Lorcet
  • Lortab
  • Methadone
  • MSContin
  • Norco
  • OxyContin
  • Percocet
  • Percodan
  • Stadol
  • Vicodin
  • Zydone
