I personally don’t know anyone with Prescription Drug Addiction, but once I saw the talk show on Oprah, and I couldn’t believe my ears when the drug addict was discussing it like she didn’t have a problem! She failed to realized that it was part of drug abuse as well but was talking like it was no big deal. Most of the abusers are depending on the prescription drugs for a long time, and by the time they realized that they are addicted to it, it is often too late.
Thus, they need professional help from drug rehab if they have to recover from addiction. If he is convinced that he needs drug treatment, it is the beginning of the healing process. Being part of his family and friends, we have to be supportive. It’s a hard process going through the treatment, but as long as he is determined, the recovery process can be effective.
