Prescription Meds And Addiction Risks

Hi everyone from Christian Help For Addiction Online,

A call from my neighbor the other night revealed that his brother-in-law was admitted into a drug rehab facility for treatment. I was a bit shocked, as I knew the guy, and he was what appeared to be a pretty “high functioning” individual. He held a good job and had a wife and a young child. Initially I was thinking the “hard stuff”, maybe even Heroin, but when I asked further, I found out he was hooked on “pain killer” medication, specifically…”Vicodin”

Initially I thought how did that happen, but now i realize that more  and more people are getting hooked with these type of prescription meds. Oxycontin is another pain med that comes to mind, as this is another pain medication that can be quite addicting. If you are using any of these particular pain meds, and find that you are relying on them more and more, then we suggest talking with your doctor immediately, and see if there are any different options for you.

We truly are creatures of habit so to speak…and these “habits” can develop quite quickly. Developing a tolerance threshold with pain killer medications could be possible, and before you know it, you will need more of the meds to achieve the desired results. Again, proceed with caution here. Talk with your doctor. The last thing you want is to be hooked on these type of meds. You deserve the best in Gods eyes, so be careful.

We hope that whatever your struggles might be, that you include God in coping with those Struggles. It really is difficult to navigate this life alone, or relying on other human beings. Sometimes only a true loving God can help us cope with the “mountains” of life, and lead us to the other side coming out a healthier and happier person.

We recommending getting an easy to read bible, and incorporate it into your daily life by reading life changing scriptures. God Bless…and have a great week….
