Addiction to pain medicine
One sad fact of life is that so many people that become drug addicts start out as innocent victims of some kind of accident that puts them in a lot of pain. The doctors, in their efforts to relieve that pain give the patients a medicine, such as the very popular vicodin, that is highly effective in controlling pain, but is also highly addictive.
One of the most populat television show characters, House, is addicted to vicodin. On a recent episode we watched House agree to go to vicodin rehab in order to get his medical license back. It was suspended but he was told that if he went to one of the vicodin rehab centers that he would be reinstated after the doctors cleared him. I think that this particular show has shown a lot of good information about how easily one can fall into the life of an addict, and how not all addicts are out in the street mugging people!
