A member asked:
Can you tell me how to stop my addiction to painkillers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Odds are YOU can't: without professional help. If you are physically dependent on opioids, withdrawal of those drugs is painful and can even be dangerous (severe vomiting, dehydration, stress on the heart). Seek a chemical dependency program with experience with treating people with prescription drug problems.
