Painkiller Are The Most Prescribed And Abused Drugs In The World

 

We live in a country of workers. A nation where people are expected to put in an honest day's work. In such an environment, it is common for people to get hurt on their job. Manual labor is tough, wages are low and food needs to be put on the table. What do these people do when they get hurt? Do they take a day off? No, they get some painkillers and head right back to work. This is how many people become addicted to painkillers and how children get access to them. The highest rates of abuse are in working class areas where most people do a manual labor type of job.

Why So Many Problems With Painkillers?

Painkillers are mostly made out of opiates which are the root of heroin's potency but manufactured to be safer than what is on the street. Many drugs use opiates such as morphine derivatives, codeine and Tylenol with codeine. There's even cough syrup  with it in it. There are many ways for a person to get their hands on it but only one good way to quit and that is with substance abuse training to help one quit.

What Are Opioids?

Opioids are all around us and many people are abusing them and becoming addicted. They can be found in many different type of drugs made to help all sorts of problems. This is one of the reasons why these drugs are so bad and so readily available. Quitting them can be hard because one can develop a physical addiction to the drug which means that they can get sick if they try to quit. Drug companies have made special coatings so that it is harder to use as a drug but these are far from a fail-safe and users learn how to overcome them.

There is Hope For Successfully Treating Addiction to Prescription Drugs, Opioids, and Painkillers...

Becoming Addicted To Narcotic Pain Meds

 

According to numerous studies conducted by professional medical practitioners across the globe, there are a number of addictive narcotic pain meds in the market that if not well prescribed can cause severe medical problems. Narcotic pain relievers that were said to be more addictive and with the potential to cause much harm to the patients include, Methane, morphine, fentanyl, codeine and even other morphine derivatives and opioids.Most of the narcotics pain meds on the market are very efficient and effective and if its intake is not regulated by a qualified medical practitioner with the relevant expertise in the field can inevitably lead to severe dependency or addiction. However, it is highly important to note that as much as many narcotic meds on the market are dangerous and addictive to consumers, not all of them are that severe to necessitate prescription of a medical expert. In fact, in well developed countries such as the UK and the US, some of these low dose tablets can be easily obtained or purchased over the counter, and without prescription of any kind from a chemist.

It is said one of the major reasons as to why most people who are hooked or heavily addicted to narcotics seek medical intervention and help is because the drugs are becoming increasingly expensive and most victims to the vice cannot sustain their use, pushing majority of them to seek medical intervention or rehabilitation in order to mitigate the trend.

According to medical researchers with a lot of experience about drug related addictions, the best way to avert dependency to drug addiction is for the victim to first acknowledge the fact that they have a problem, before seeking for further medical examination from relevant rehabilitation institutions around the country. However, as much as it is extremely expensive for victims to get quality treatment from private rehabilitation institutions, there are various government programs that have drastically subsidized the treatment.

And finally, to those who cannot afford specialized treatment from professionals, the best bet is to gradually reduce the intake of drug related substances in order to minimize some of withdrawal symptoms associated with substance intake so as to avert a possible relapse.
