Prescription Drug Abuse and Addiction
|
|
|
Prescription drug abuse is quickly becoming
one of the fastest growing addictions; in
fact, prescription pain killers are the the
new drug of choice vs. marijuana or
cocaine. Opioids painkillers cause
more overdose deaths than cocaine and heroin
combined. The reasons why one
became addicted to medications is irrelevant
when all one wants to do is to stop using
them. |

The difference between drug abuse and drug
addiction is generally accepted as the
following: Abuse is where one misuses
their medications; and dependence is
where the body has grown so accustom to its
use that they can no longer seemingly be
able to function without using them -
physically or mentally.

Many factors come into play when selecting
the correct drug rehab treatment for
prescription drug abuse. Depending on
the drug being abused, the physical shape of
the person, the length of period the one has
been addicted and their frame of mind all
depends on the type of treatment that will
be most successful for them.
