Prescription Drugs
The list is quite long, but these include drugs such as pain killers, mood elevators, diet pills, etc. Often times the person who is addicted started on them as medication for chronic pain. They may continue to obtain the drugs through their doctor or others, many on-line, or through illegal means. They are usually in pill form and are taken orally. If the person continues to have chronic pain after they stop using the drugs, they are at high risk of becoming addicted again. For this person, it is important they have a doctor who understands addiction as well as chronic pain, so care can be taken in how the medications are dispensed.
