Pain Killer Addiction
Pain killer addiction includes the terms: opiate dependency, opiate addiction, narcotic dependency,
narcotic addiction, pain medication addiction, and pain killer dependency or painkiller dependency.
More than 415,000 people received treatment for pain killer abuse or pain medication or pain killer
addiction last year.
2.2 million people aged 12 and up first abused painkillers within the past year; this is more than the number of
people who started using marijuana and has overtaken the use of cocaine.
In addition more than 10% of high school seniors started taking Vicodin for reasons other than reducing
pain.
The many problems that are associated with pain killer addiction and abuse have experts, doctors and
authorities searching for solutions.
Opioids used as the doctor has prescribed are supposedly not dangerous according to the NIH - National
Health Institute on Drug Abuse; but if this is the case, why are so many people addicted to them?
What should people and patients with chronic pain problems or conditions do?
People often ask "What pain medication is safe? And the answer is there are risks with all pain
medications and for all medications for that matter. There is no such thing as a safe drug, safe medication, safe
pain killer, safe pain medication and so on.
The potential for pain killer addiction in patients with chronic pain conditions is often overlooked by
doctors.
Yet experts say that only a small segment of patients with a medical need for using narcotic pain medications
ever become addicted.
The effort to reduce pain medication abuse is causing serious problems for patients who legitimately need the
drugs.
Chronic pain affects one out of three or four adults. Millions of people suffer from severe disabling pain.
Many chronic pain patients are under-treated as a result of doctors who are trying to gain control over pain
killer addiction.
Researchers are steadfastly working on different ways to optimize pain relief while reducing the risk of drug
abuse, including reformulating certain drugs.
Many times people or patients can innocently start taking narcotics or opioids after a moderate injury
or because of a severe injury in an automobile accident, fall or for post surgical pain.
Addiction to pain killers or pain killer addiction is an escalating problem today, especially the
abuse of opioid painkillers (narcotic pain medications, also called pain medications and prescription pain
medications as opposed to non-narcotic pain medications or painkillers).
