scaredy, you are in a position to see first hand the journey people take after opioid addiction (legal or illegal) sets in. It’s all predictable and it’s so hard to talk them into checking into detox/rehab. If it was prescribed by their doctor, then it is somehow must be okay. After all, their doctor knows what he/she is doing, right?
That is, if they haven’t been “doctor shopping” to get opioid prescriptions from more than one doctor. I think this would be harder to do with the advent of the ACA and the “big insurance computer in the sky.” At least if they were using their insurance to pay for these prescriptions and not paying cash.
