Many are seeking help for Pain Pills Addiction. Sometimes they are afraid of disclosing this information to their regular physician because it is such a touchy topic and they may want it to be kept secret. Most people who become dependent on these drugs have no intention in the first place of abusing these medications. After taking them over time and increasing the dosage to manage pain, only then do they realize that their bodies are dependent on them. Some of the drugs people take for pain and become addicted to are Loratab, Percocet, Methadone and Oxycontin.
Many people work in the public domain and know that they will suffer repercussions if the secret gets out so they stay in the same situation for long periods of time. They are not only worrying about where to get the next dose they are worried about their reputation in the public eye.
How to overcome pain pills addiction
Some will try to battle the disease themselves and this leaves them feeling hopeless and stuck in the addiction. It might be a good idea to try to find a physician that one doesn't normally see for his other ailments, as he will feel much more at ease in communicating his concerns, and this will lead him to be better equipped to succeed in overcoming this affliction.
Some will end up with a substantial amount of grief and loss in their lives before seeking professional guidance with their dependence on pain killers. These might be family breakdowns or financial loss and at times even death. Crisis Centers are a good place to begin in order to find a professional to aid in overcoming addictions.
My suggestion to anyone who may have a painkiller addiction is to seek help right away. There are many different kinds and types of drug rehabs and treatment centers that can help you to overcome your pain pill addiction. If you have been using opiate painkillers for a long time you can plan on going trough opiate withdrawal when you stop using pain pills. If you go to an opiate addiction rehab you will not have to concern yourself with this because you will be given medications to help control any opiate withdrawal symptoms.
Helping another recovering addict is the key to staying clean
Once you get clean and sober you need to do some things to stay that way and one thing that I suggest to everyone is that they must take massive action. This can be a variety of things but a good way to start would be to help another recovering addict. This is rather easy and the thing is that it will not only help the other person but it will help you too so what you can do is offer to take them to a meeting. This will get you out of yourself and at the same time it will let your fellow addict know that they matter and people really do care about them...
Good luck
