Abstract
Though opiates are the most effective form of painkillers, they are highly addictive and many of these opiate addictions lead to heroin addictions or death. The medical community has worsened this problem by over prescribing and prescribing strong painkillers for routine surgeries in which patients do not need high-strength medication. Because opiates are expensive, many abusers sum to heroin instead which is cheaper and does not require a prescription, and heroin usage often results in overdose and fatality. However, research being conducted in the medical research field shows signs of optimism in the development of alternative, Jess addictive painkillers. In confronting the issue at hand, lives will be saved and addiction rates will be significantly lowered by maintaining strict prescribing parameters to patients who actually need the opiates.
