Why would a doctor prescribe an opiate painkiller to a recovering addict?

by knaakle

Question by mossimo: Why would a doctor prescribe an opiate painkiller to a recovering addict?
I feel like I constantly hear about recovering addicts falling off the bandwagon (sometimes of many years) due to their doctors giving them painkillers or anti-anxiety meds to help with procedures and what not. Is this medical negligence or is there really a medical reason for this!?

Best answer:

Answer by Megan
If the former addict cannot deal with the pain, they need the medicine. Obviously, if they are visiting the doctor for this problem than they cannot handle it. Also, not all addicts have something something within their file saying that about their past abuse.

Who is staying sober for New Years Eve?

Question by Wooderson: Who is staying sober for New Years Eve?
I am not going to drink on New Years Eve. All I want is a relaxing dinner (maybe takeout sushi) and a few rolls in the hay – maybe a good O at the stroke of midnight to ring in the new year.

Drunken new years eves have, to my recollection, typically been just a disappointment. Maybe it’s because I don’t like to drink anymore. I don’t even feel that good while drinking, let alone the next day. So, why do it?

Anti-Alcohol PSA Video For Teens

Anti-Alcohol PSA Video For Teens. From the public domain. Alcoholism is a chronic disease that makes your body dependent on alcohol. You may be obsessed with alcohol and unable to control how much you drink, even though your drinking is causing serious problems with your relationships, health, work and finances. It’s possible to have a problem with alcohol, but not display all the characteristics of alcoholism. This is known as alcohol abuse, which means you engage in excessive drinking that causes health or social problems, but you aren’t dependent on alcohol and haven’t fully lost control over the use of alcohol. Although many people assume otherwise, alcoholism is a treatable disease. Medications, counseling and self-help groups are among the therapies that can provide ongoing support to help you recover from alcoholism. Alcoholism is a disease. It is often diagnosed more through behaviors and adverse effects on functioning than by specific medical symptoms. Only 2 of the diagnostic criteria are physiological (those are tolerance changes and withdrawal symptoms). Alcohol abuse and alcoholism are associated with a broad range of medical, psychiatric, social, legal, occupational, economic, and family problems. For example, parental alcoholism underlies many family problems such as divorce, spouse abuse, child abuse and neglect, welfare dependence, and criminal behaviors, according to government sources.

if you are a recovering drug addict, does that mean you would also be an alcoholic?

Question by lovemysexyman: if you are a recovering drug addict, does that mean you would also be an alcoholic?
If you were addicted to drugs, does that mean that you would become addicted to alcohol, sex, and other vices? Or is it possible to be a drug addict and be able to drink alcohol and not be an alcoholic? Does being presently drug addicted make a difference verses being a recovering addict? How can you tell if someone is an alcoholic?

Best answer:

Answer by SuperVibrationalEscrow
No. In fact in my younger days when I hung around addicts, sometimes they would get away with it for quite a long time without family and friends finding out because they were either non-drinkers or they would be the type to trust as ‘designated driver’. Because they didn’t get into booze many people thought they were clean. It is very very common for those who are addicted to prescription drugs to steer clear of alcohol.
