Because chronic pain syndrome impacts a large part of the population in the United States, and many control their affliction with non-prescribed medication, at La Jolla Recovery, we like to understand the background and needs of those seeking to stop using these prescriptions.
Medical professionals also treat many people with chronic pain syndrome with a short therapy time with prescription painkillers. Some prescriptions are for narcotic opioid drugs like OxyContin or Vicodin, which are addictive. It doesn’t matter if the doctor prescribed the medication for a reasonable injury; people risk developing an addiction if not properly managed.
