Drug addiction costs taxpayers millions of dollars each year and is a major public health concern for all of us, as it is a chronic relapsing disorder, which means that it lasts a long time and individuals who are trying to quit are apt to start using drugs again.

That is why doctors try to take so many precautions on issuing these drugs and how they are ministered to those who need them. But what we see is that someone can move from being completely dependent upon them to being addicted to them.
And when our teenagers get a hold of these drugs we see them become addicted very quickly. This is not a regional problem but a national one. It is growing out of hand in most states!
