Introduction to Addiction
Across the nation, approximately 10,000 individuals a day start misusing prescription drugs with nearly 6 in 10 misusing opioids.
Most commonly abused prescription opioids include oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, and morphine. Prescription opioid misuse and abuse of illegal opioid drugs, like heroin and fentanyl, following prescription abuse are especially dangerous because of the underlying medical conditions that they can cover. Prescription opioids are meant to treat pain and when the medication is abused, it can mask worsening symptoms and create more pain, leading to increased use.
