Prescription Drug Addiction

There is so much of information available about drug addiction and alcoholism.Very little information available about addiction and abuse of prescription drugs.Addiction to prescription drugs and withdrawal from them can be equally or even more dangerous than alcoholism and normal drug abuse.

There are mainly two types of prescription drugs to which people can get addicted.Pain killers or Opiods and tranquilizers or Benzodiazepine which are prescribed for anxiety management.These drugs can be prescribed for short term or long term depending upon the acute or chronic nature of the problem.
