Is it easy to become addicted to opaites?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes!!: Absolutely. Statistically, over 23 million people in the USA addicted to drugs. That is like 1 out of 10 people for everyone over the age of 12. If opiates make you empowered, revved up, and generally great, then a very powerful feedback loop is created which can bring you back, wanting more and more.
