Drug Addiction

Anytime a family member is prescribed an opiate drug for pain it makes me nervous. You hear horror stories of people becoming addicted to these types of pills to manage their pain. You can't blame them for needing it to live in comfort, but the addiction is bad once it takes over. I'm sure you would require a detox, like the opiate detox treatment in Malibu. What I like is that they offer a residential setting. Most people take these types of medicine for pain management. So they would need help dealing with the pain once the drugs are out of their system. It's good to know there are place out there for people, I just pray we never have to use them. If you know someone who is addicted to pain medicine, try your best to offer to HELP them!
