The use of prescription pain relievers is a major problem in Houston, TX as well as throughout the entire country. More prescriptions than ever are flooding the general public, which means that more people than ever are in a position to develop an addiction or to inadvertently overdose when they take their medication incorrectly or mix it with other substances. The most common drugs of choice for those who abuse prescription pills are codeine, Vicodin, OxyContin and Percocet.
While not everyone with a prescription for a narcotic painkiller will develop an addiction, when it does happen, it’s important that immediate rehab help is sought. Getting the best possible treatment for addiction doesn’t necessarily mean staying in Houston, Texas. Contact us today to find the best drug rehab for your needs.
True or False: Prescription Painkillers Are Safe Because They’re Doctor-Prescribed
Prescription pain relievers do exactly what they’re supposed to do – they provide relief from physical pain. This is accomplished when the opiate medication binds to opiate receptors, blocking the experience of pain and triggering the pleasure and reward system in the brain. The pleasure experienced is often what is psychologically addictive to users. Physically, though, one can develop a dependence upon the pain-relieving effects. When the two happen together, an addiction is present – one that requires medical attention.
Many people assume that because the prescription medication came from a doctor, it is inherently safe. While painkillers are safe for patients who are given a prescription and follow it exactly, it is not safe to take more than prescribed, alter the pill before taking it, or mix it with other substances including alcohol. It’s also not safe for anyone to take the drug without a prescription – and that includes taking leftover pills. It is in these situations that users run into problems.
