Opiates
Opiate abuse has become an epidemic in the United States with over 2 million people struggling with addiction. In 2017 alone, over 70,000 people died of an overdose from opiates. One of the reasons why it poses such a danger is because many people may not even realize they are addicted. That is...until they try to stop.
Withdrawals from opiates can be brutal, with symptoms ranging from a bad flu to seizures and more complicated issues. One of the main problems surrounding opiate abuse is that it is often doctor prescribed.
The following are some common opiates that are usually associated with addiction:
- Tramadol
- Oxycodone
