Prescription Addiction - A Real Epidemic

Think about drug addiction and you probably envisage vulnerable young addicts visiting back street dealers to get their hands on whatever their vice is. What you tend not to think of are well-to-do, normal, hard-working individuals visiting doctors and pharmacists to get their drugs.


But prescription drug addiction is a real problem. In drug addiction centres you can find a mix of those addicted to illicit substances and drugs, those addicted to over-the-counter medications, and those whose addiction is prescription medications. In a situation where someone can access their drugs legally, it can take longer to identify an addiction issue. This is why treatment centres have been introduced in India. Our rehab centre is one of the best drug rehabilitation centre in Mumbai.





In 2007, a group of people reported on a growing prescription drug addiction. It said on the growing illicit trade amongst criminals seeking to cash in on those unfortunate enough to find themselves physically or psychologically addicted to prescription medication.

The most common types of prescription medication that people find themselves addicted to are painkillers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and anti-depressants. Soar in the numbers of regular users of such medicines has led to them being trafficked in a similar way to illicit substances and the problem seems to be getting worse as time goes by.


The problem receives more media attention in cases where a high-profile celebrity suffers from prescription addictions.


Prescription drug addiction is not taught about in schools in the same way that illicit drugs are covered. It's not a problem that is as common knowledge. Increasing the education around the issue is one way in which we can begin to deal with it. So addiction centres are the best solution. If you think that someone you know is going through any kind of addiction, make sure you help them and get them into a rehab centre. Trucare trust is one of the best rehabilitation centres in Mumbai.


As there are many facilities to help and deal with such alcohol and drug-related issues in India, there are many top rehab centers in India where top-notch accommodation facilities are thus provided.
