Studies discusses addiction and the effects of prescription drug abuse.
What is Addiction?
Addiction is a chronic, progressive, sometimes fatal disease, and it’s
characterized by relapse.
Relapse is a return to using even
after periods of abstinence.
The abuse of any type of drug,
even a legitimate prescription,
can lead to changes in the
structure and function of the
brain.
For most people the decision to
begin taking prescription drugs is
at the recommendation of their health care provider.
Some prescription drugs cause changes in the brain and the body that can lead
to dependency on the drug. This means the body and the brain become reliant

the management of pain.
Examples of these types of prescription drugs include opioids, or painkillers,
sedatives, and sleep aids. Extended use of these drugs, even as prescribed, can
cause physical and psychological dependency which can lead to abuse and
ultimately addiction.
It is important to remember that addiction is not the user’s fault. If you are reading
this report, the chances are you’ve been affected by either your own use or
someone else’s use.
Prescription dependency abuse and addiction does not only cause problems with
the user, but also everyone around them.
