Same Sad Story
Oxycontin
The lights and camera continue to focus on addiction problems and the ruined lives of those who have fallen prey to drugs like Oxycontin, Vicodin, Percoset, etc.
How about shining a light on the doctors who are selling this stuff unnecessarily? Maybe this cartel is a bit more sophisticated in their techniques, but the consequences remain just as deadly.
“Prescription drug addiction, drug-seeking and diversion, family dysfunction, and codependent behavior were some of the topics discussed today on Oprah with the help of the good Dr. Mehmet Oz.
They presented the case of “Cheryl,” a prescription drug addict (addicted to Vicodin and Norco) and her son, Steve. Cheryl discussed how her addiction to prescription drugs had ruined her life. Her son, Steve, admitted to becoming addicted to opiates after witnessing the addictive behavior of his mother and grandmother, who would take narcotics when they were stressed.”
