PRESCRIPTION DRUG USE AND ABUSE: Risk factors, red flags, and prevention strategies ( Postgraduate Medicine)
Abstract: When a patient is in physical or emotional pain, prescribing controlled substances often appears to be the simplest and most efficient way to relieve suffering and distress. However, in a minority of cases, this approach leads to prescription drug abuse and patient harm. In this article, the authors review the epidemiologic factors of prescription drug abuse, legal policies designed to safeguard against it, risk factors and red flags, and practical ways to minimize the chances of misuse.

Question by What is your problem: Is drug use and abuse a disease or a conscience effort?
I was recently trained on the use, abuse, subsequent addicition of users on drugs. I was informed that Drug use is a disease. I stood alone and disagreed because no one can decide to go to a 12 step program and cure their cancer. Nor do they arrest people for having kidney failure. Just a thought.
Best answer:
Answer by Nicole Sohma
the12 steps i find it ridiculous
i dont believe in it, yet my mom is in AA.
so i can’t say much. all i know is that it is pretty harsh.
i guess people do say it is a disease
and to cure it, either take AA or check into a clinic. even there they still recommend the 12 steps. they say it is the only way to go clean.
even then, the success rate of the best clinic here in the states is 17%. and that is only the people who make it one full year completely sober.

@Papsmeas Yeah, because no one can ever have knowledge of a subject without doing it first. Its called decades of clinical research idiot. Using the rationale, “you can’t know what a substance does unless you try it” is just bad logic. Grow up and learn to use your brain a little bit more effectively.
@patmustard07 that’s called substitution !!! That’s syupid !!!! Coke will do less damage to your body and brain. I used both, loved heroin more than cocaine but heroin was hell compare to coke ! Good luck !!!
The doc forgot nasal perforation, lost of whealingness, paranoia, hallucinations, lost of time repairs which lead to beeing late to work or appointments, lost of responsabilities, and depression !!!!….. For all I know !
wait a minute, sniffling and runny nose, sudden bursts of energy followed by periods of longer than usual sleep, stealing, financial problems. I’ve got it! ALL mischevious jobless teens with allergies must be using cocaine!!
@jpabelis ahah
all well and good unless youve got plenty of cash to blow on blow! haha
cocaine is ok, in moderation off course
i uhm… really like cocaine. :]
frequent sniffling lol
This guy does not know what he’s talking about. Obviously he never tried it himself.
heres a life story about cocaine, its a school project but it turned out very nice. youtube (dot) com/watch?v=qTtX5LuZvLM
If i caught my child snorting coke, i’d hit some too. I think cutting coke is a serious offense..and can’t recommend it to folks. thanks doc! now we can spot coke users. I tell EVERYONE i meet that the government brings it in, and then puts poor people in jail for it. Eventually the people need to petition our CIA for allowing the drugs in, and then making it seem bad. Christians! unreal!
i love cocaine is the best
I found the Cure for addictions! I’ve been free from a life of being in the chains of my addictions. I’ve sought help from many people and many programs, but none of them truly freed me. It’s not until now that I have experienced a Lasting Hope, Joy, and Peace in my life that I have never even come close to experiencing. Not only that, but 100s of people I know personally are seeing the same thing. Click on my name for proof if you don’t believe me. You can be Cured!
Sorry Kim Makoi, but you are NOT a certified Doctor!
everyone deserves more chances i life then get. god is the way to this freedom from the bondage of addiction!
yeah its just a plant mixed with SO MANY FUCKING CHEMICALS you jackass
so is heroin just a plant we should legalize that also? even a recreational user i am still against it being legal, if they burnt every last bit of it i would be happy
cocaine is never a solution.
Unless of course, you dissolve it in water.
@TrojanBan legalize cocaine? to what..only increase the # of people in the er for nasal damage and throat damage?..that shit fucks your nostrals up BAD and ur respratory system…
LEGALIZE COCAINE , ITS JUST A PLANT
Cocaine isnt dangerous why stop?
