Understanding Prescription
Drug Addiction
Prescription drug addiction is a growing concern worldwide, affecting people from all walks of life. While medications like opioids, sedatives, and stimulants are designed to treat legitimate medical conditions, they can become addictive when misused. Addiction often develops from overuse, recreational use, or prolonged dependency, leading to physical and psychological reliance. Recognizing the signs of addiction and understanding its impact is essential for promoting prevention, seeking timely intervention, and providing support to those affected.
